By Dan Whitfi eldA Wainuiomata cricket player, who

has been playing the sport since the age of 13, is well on his way of realising a fi ve year goal after being named as a New Zealand representative team.

Callum Mackaness has been given a

chance to step up after making the cut for the New Zealand Indoor Cricket under 20 squad; and throughout 2014 so far, he has been working towards his outing at the world cup set to be held later this year.

While work to replace Wainuio-mata Tennis Club’s roof has been a bit of a job, the project is now complete and should not need replacing for another 30 years.

The club had agreed not to spend more than $12,000 on the new roof, so for costs to come in under budget was excellent news, says president Toni Kane.

All up the project cost just over $10,000 to complete, with funding coming from three grants - $5000 from the Infinity Foundation; $3000 from the Bluegrass trust; and $500 from the Pelorus Trust – and the rest achieved through community fundraisers.

The former roof had a number of holes dotted around it, and according to Toni, was installed over the top of the original roof. The recent installation solved all the issues, and also features brand new spouting.

Toni says a big thank you goes out to all the club members that helped make the new roof happen, and was positive that through combined efforts, the club managed to raise enough money and got the job done.

“We’ve all done something; whether it’s by buying a raffle ticket, selling sausages at Bunnings, helping out on quiz nights, donating

prizes, donating gear for the job or getting us discounts, we’ve prob-ably all done something to help out. The whole club can pat itself on the back,” she says.

Funds were secured over the course of a year and Toni tells the Wainuiomata News the roof was installed within a month of receiv-ing the fi nal grant.

She says it was full on because it had to be replaced, but knowing it is fi nished is great and the club can move on to its next project. With this project complete, club offi cials want to encourage members and the community not to let the momen-tum stop, with more projects to be completed.

Other projects that are in the pipeline are repainting the outside, fixing the shed, and giving the inside of the clubrooms a bit of a spruce-up.

In previous months, the fl ood-lights were properly repaired and are now working better than they have been for a few years – and are no longer noisy.

Toni has been involved with the club for about six years, but has only been president for two.

There are about 200 members in the Main Rd-located club, includ-ing juniors and seniors, and this number is constantly increasing, Toni tells the Wainuiomata News.

The fi rst Matariki celebra-tion hosted by Pukeatua School was held recently, al-lowing students to reconnect with their culture.

Held on Saturday, June 28, the inaugural celebration saw whanau and students from rooms two and three enjoy an early morning breakfast together. During this time, students shared what they learned at school about the

Maori New Year celebrations.Earlier in the month, stu-

dents from rooms four, fi ve, seven, 10, 11 and 12 enjoyed their own Matariki celebra-tions.

The school wished all those who came along and helped plant out our raised sustain-able planter boxes a huge thank you and hopes the sup-port will continue. A shared morning tea followed the planting of the new planter boxes.

Those living in a Lower Hutt-based retirement village could soon be evicted from their homes if vacant units are unable to be � lled.

Earlier this month, board members as well as residents and family members of Ropata Village met to � nd a way to avoid cutting costs and risks of possible closure.

At this stage, a temporary fee increase of $140 a week each has been considered to allow time to � nd more residents.

Ken Salmon decided to stand down from the position of presi-dent at Wainuiomata Grey Power earlier this year, but since then has been forced to oversee his old duties because no one put their hand up to replace him.

While he is hopeful someone will fi ll his former role before the end of the year, there are also vacancies in the vice-president and secretary positions, creating a bit of uncertainty as to the association’s future.

Grey Power is an advocacy organisation promoting the wel-fare and well-being of men and women in the 50 plus age group. “We need to keep pushing. Mem-bers don’t want us to close...If we could keep ticking over it would be good, but I think it could be the last chance,” Ken says.

Wainuiomata Grey Power has been the driving force behind

the push to see a retirement home built in the community. Its members are also active in other areas including pensions, health, local Government and Grey Power Electricity.

Ken believes the future of the association lies with updating the current operating theory, focusing on targeting younger members, taking advantage of social media and “pepping the thing up a bit.”

In its heyday, the Wainuiomata association stood at about 270 loyal members; however today, there are approximately 100 people involved.

Ken is positive even Grey Power New Zealand Federation management would not want to see the Wainuiomata association close.

Concert pianist returns to Hutt ValleyBy Dan Whitfi eld

A concert presented by Chamber Music Hutt Val-ley will welcome a young musician back to the Hutt Valley who has recently returned from studies in Auckland and the USA.

Ludwig Treviranus is currently teaching and performing in Wellington and Auckland, but his schedule for 2014 consists of recitals throughout the country, including the Hutt Valley and Wellington Chamber Series – running on this Thursday at The

Little Theatre.He believes everybody

should have access to clas-sical music. Through his concerts and ‘At Ease with Music’ he hopes to encour-age a new generation of listeners and performers.

The musician holds a Doctorate of Music from Florida State University, and while in the United States, he was successful in a number of competi-tions including a placing in the fi nals of the Beethoven International Piano Sonata Competition in Memphis, Tennessee (2009).

Prior to his studies in Flor ida, Ludwig was awarded a scholarship as a Maori/Pacific Island Scholar to complete his Masters Degree at the University of Auckland under the tutelage of Rae de Lisle.

The Thursday recital ranges from the classical music of Haydn, Cho-pin and Schumann to the freer rhythms of George Gershwin.

For more information, contact Frank Sviatko on 938 1728.

It starts at 7.30pm.

good operating committee in place and to keep the association going,” Ken says.

At this stage, Wainuiomata Grey Power will continue to operate until the end of the year; but if positions and a committee are not established then members may be required to move their member-ships to a Hutt Valley association.

For more information on Grey Power, go to www.greypower.co.nz.If you would like to be involved in the Wainuio-mata association, treas-urer Jane Chamberlain on 897 9198.

With an uncertain future, Wainuiomata News reporter Dan Whit� eld sat down with Wainuiomata

Customers shopping at Wai-nuiomata’s The Warehouse will now have a new way to support children in around the community.

The Warehouse in Wainuio-amta are offering people that come into the store to try their luck with a Scratch ‘n’ Win card and help Variety – The Children’s Charity bridge the

digital divide for young people.The $2 Scratch ‘n’ Win cards

are available in stores around the country until September 9, and all money raised will go towards giving a deserving kiwi child a laptop – after research has shown that access to personal IT devices, used in conjunction with the school curriculum, has the ability to improve literacy rates.

Variety chief executive of-fi cer Lorraine Taylor says: “We believe education can be the catalyst to providing a better life for our Kiwi kids.”

The aim is to give young peo-ple access to digital devices as part of their in-class learning, and to take them home when required.

“Many of the children we meet

do not have access to portable IT technology, and knowledge of how to use this technology is now vital when they enter the workforce,” Lorraine says.

Offi cials from both The Ware-house and Variety believe this is a great way to help kiwi kids, and everyone is encouraged to visit stores nationwide and support this campaign.

Young performers who want to gain an insight into the music industry will have a chance to do exactly that when Prime Music Academy tours a number of schools around the valley later this month.

The academy has helped hun-dreds of aspiring singers and musicians from all age groups reach their full musical potential - including New Zealand artists, Evermore.

It is run by New Zealand music icon Anita Prime, a 2011 Los Angeles Music Award (LAMA)

winner and USA Billboard top 40 charting artist, and offers instructions in all styles of music and on many instruments.

The Wainuiomata schools tour is set to teach students about the different areas of the industry and help them achieve their dreams, while just “rocking it out,” telling them they can make it if they aim for it.

“It’s about using music as an avenue to allow students to dream big and aim for some-thing...as well as encouraging them to succeed,” Anita says.

So far four to six schools have been confirmed for the tour,

which is set to run for a week from August 25.

Anita says it is about letting them know what is on offer to them while encouraging them and continuing the academy’s strong involvement with youth.

The academy operates out of studio facilities located in Upper Hutt, Lower Hutt and now in Wainuiomata.

Wainuiomata’s studio is run by drummer Max Millman, who will be performing in the tour alongside Anita and a number of other musicians.

Max says the academy teaches everything, and tutors work with

students to fi nd out where they want to go, and work from there.

“Part of the reason for us com-ing to Wainuiomata is to provide the locals with good lessons for a good price, while also giving them professional guidance,” Anita says.

In addition to her own career as a recording artist, Anita has participated on many interna-tional releases as a studio session vocalist, lyricist and vocal coach, and continues to be in high demand for her unique vocal.

The tour is going to be a free event and will be run during as-semblies at participating schools.

No dumpingHutt city council is urging members

of the public to be on the lookout for the illegal dumping of rubbish in and around Wainuiomata.

It is a serious o� ence under the Litter Act 1979 to dispose of waste materials onto public or private land. O� enders can face a maximum � ne of $400 or a period of imprisonment.

Council representatives say not only does it decrease property and com-munity value; there are hazards and risks as well as environmental issues involved.

If residents find litter or see any cases of illegal dumping, they are encouraged to contact the council on 570 6666.

It was a horrible ordeal for local grandmother Hilary Chasteauneuf when she took a tumble in the car park of Wainuiomata’s Countdown supermarket recently.

The incident happened on the even-ing of July 25, when she was taking her granddaughter to the supermarket to pick up a few things.

Despite having bad eyesight, Hilary fell down an unmarked curb which, if had a splash of white paint or a railing around it, would not pose any danger, she says.

“It’s terrible. You’d think if you were walking on the safe part of the footpath there’d be no danger,” Hilary says.

“There’s quite a drop where I fell, but apparently I’m not the fi rst...so why hasn’t something been done about it?” she asks.

The incident saw the Wainuiomata resident loose her footing and fall to

the ground, in the process grazing her chin and cheek, as well as sustaining bruising to her knees and face. She also believes her glasses, which were broken in the fall, cut her under her eye – in turn requiring her to have stitches.

Following her fall, two supermarket staff members came to her aid, as well as an off duty nurse.

“I was in shock, had concussion, and didn’t have my glasses, so I didn’t get the names of the people that helped me...I just know they were really helpful and cleaned me up until my husband arrived to take me to hospital,” Hilary says.

Hilary has been a member of the community for 34 years and has never had anything like this happen to her.

“I know that my eyes aren’t good but it’s made me lose some confi dence – I don’t know what other hazards are out there,” she says.

The credit controller for a Hutt-based law fi rm says her family were

supportive through the period follow-ing the incident. In total, Hilary spent three and a half hours at hospital, and returned to work after a week off for healing.

Hilary is unsure who is to blame for the lack of awareness around this dangerous location, but says an incident report form from Countdown was denied because the incident hap-pened in the car park.

“It should be addressed by the mall management,” Hilary says.

“It was scary. I’m apparently not the fi rst person to fall there either...I just want something to be done about it so it doesn’t happen to anyone else.”

Hilary is still facing future incon-veniences due to her fall, with an issue to do with her teeth likely to occur later in life.

Council demolition beginssome big steps forward.”“Teams of demolition contractors have been carefully removing the internal walls and � xtures so the big machinery can move in and start the demolition of the west wing,” Scott says.The timeline for the project will see the building completed by early 2016.This year, demolition work on the west wing is expected to be com-pleted by early September; piling work will begin toward the end of September and continue through October; construction on the south side extension starts in October and is expected to be complete in March next year.Following this will be the internal strengthening and refurbishment work of the building.

An article about names missing from the Wainuiomata War Memorial in last week’s newspaper had an incorrect phone number for Wainuiomata Valley RSA chair-man Bart Bartlett. The correct number is 027 750 0981. While Bart and other members of the Wainuiomata Valley RSA are interested in giving the soldiers the proper recognition they deserve, families or next of kin need to be contacted in order to add the missing names.

Names missingDear Ed,How weird is it that

names were missed off the Wainuiomata War Memo-rial. Why?

Surely they can’t have been missed, or purposely left off...Why did the fami-lies at the time not pick up on this?

It’s mind boggling! I do hope Bart and the

other members of the RSA

manage to track down family members of these soldiers. It’s a mighty big task but I believe they will succeed.

Hopefully with the cen-tenary fast approaching, information will come to light and they can get theses names added.

Yours sincerelyB. Cosgrove

Dogs on leashesDear Ed,I am completely, and 100

per cent for this new enforce-ment that means owners will have to keep their dogs on leads around the Wainuio-mata Recreation Area.

I applaud the Greater Wel-lington Regional Council for fi nally making a stand against this problem.

There have been several times while walking that I

have met an unfriendly dog off its leash. It’s terrifying!

I couldn’t imagine what it’s like for others that don’t like dogs or for people with young children.

Please Wainuiomata dog owners, abide by this rule. Let us all enjoy the area.

Yours sincerelyR. Cunningham

The key driver behind Hutt City Council’s Civic Centre development has been to create a facility the city can be proud of, that caters for the needs of our communities while also bringing much needed economic benefi t.

After considerable consul-tation with the community, council made the decision to go ahead with a design that upgrades the Town Hall while retaining its heritage.

The Horticultural Hall will be demolished and replaced with a modern, flexible space for

community, conference, event and exhibition use.

Mayor Ray Wallace says: “The facility will enable us to host events and conferences that will greatly boost the vi-brancy of the central Hutt and play a big part in driving our local economy forward.”

He says the stimulus this will give to the central city, the flow-on effects to moteliers, restauranteurs and retailers, the creation of new jobs, and the boost to the economy in general – should not be underestimated.

“We are the second-biggest

city in the region yet we get just four per cent of the region’s $100 million annual conference market, so there is a huge in-centive for us to do it right and we will,” Mayor Wallace says.

Detailed design work is un-derway, with construction to start early in 2015, with the new building opening in April 2016.

the winter months, which means individu-als and families from the local community, if wanting to swim, have to travel over to the Hutt Valley.The temporary closure of H2O Xtream aquatic centre means one less location in Hutt City, with remaining open pools including Naenae, Huia, Stokes Valley pools, and McKenzie Baths.Wainuiomata Summer Pool is closed for the winter season and will reopen in the summer.H2O Xtream is located on the corner of Brown and Blenheim Streets, Upper Hutt; and features three hydroslides, pool toys and activities, as well as a beach area, wave pool and rapid river.

An early member of Grey Power Wainuio-mata passed away last month – and as a key part of the community for a number of years, will be sadly missed.

Guy William Brian Barrow, or Dick Barrow to his fellow Grey Power associates, was born in 1918 and died on July 30 at the age of 95.

Guy, was a regular attendee at the Wai-nuiomata association’s meetings, and in early days, was responsible for setting up the sound system when members met at the

Fitzroy Tavern.His funeral, held on August 9, was attended

by representatives from the Wainuiomata association and a message was forwarded to Guy’s family.

Grey Power is a voluntary organization founded in February 1986.

Guy was one of the original members and had over the years been a crucial part of the operation of Grey Power in Wainuiomata.

He will be greatly missed by his remaining family, and members of the Wainuiomata members.

MINUTES WITH: Bruce Roberts

What is your favourite food?

What makes you smile?

My wife, Annie. The sound of a child laugh-ing. Or a good joke!

What’s your pet hate?

I hate people who are rude. I think a lot of times this comes because they are hav-ing a bad day or in a hurry. They have to remember they might not be the only one having a bad day and take time to respect other people.

Your favoured holiday destination?

Samoa! I just got back from there about a month ago. I was there for my wife’s family reunion and the people are great, the country is beautiful and I ate a lot of seafood. But the best thing was de� nitely the people.

What’s your favourite music?

I listen to a lot of di� erent types but I love the blues, country, bluegrass, old Rock and Lorde, Fat Freddy’s Drop, and Dave Dobbyn! That’s the Southern US side mixed with the Kiwi.

What is one thing Wainuiomata News readers would be surprised to know about you?

I am working with WAIPESI, the Wainuiomata Paci� c Education Support Initiative. This a group of volunteers that have come together to help every child and family of Paci� c Island heritage (and others) realise their dreams through doing better in educa-tion, from pre-school to tertiary.

My favourite food is seafood. Probably sea-food gumbo.

What’s next on your wish list?

My wish is that we can succeed. That every child in Wainui realises their dreams through getting the best they can from education.

A saying you like to live by?

I have a few. Work hard, play harder. You can only ful� l your dream if you dare to dream. It takes a village to raise a child.

First o� it just wouldn’t be the same without my wife so she has to be there. Hose Ramos-Horta, the past president of East Timor and a Nobel Peace Prize win-ner. Jane Goodall. Helen Keller. David Attenborough. And then I would throw in a high school student so they could share in the experience and I would get a pre-schooler to keep things interesting and see these great people conversing and taking care of our next generation.

Who would you invite to dinner?

It has been about three years since Wainuiomata designer Lisa Winter joined the eco fashion buzz, creating clothing out of anything second hand – including odd socks, old jeans, or unwanted swatches of fabric.

“It started out making clothes for my daughters. I think it’s important to know where our clothing comes from which is why I’ve gone eco,” Lisa says.

“Redoing the wardrobe is about what you have and what you can do with it,” she says.

Over the years, Lisa de-veloped her skills and got more creative, which ena-bled her to start her own brand – LilyRose Clothing.

“Most of my stuff is up-cycled, otherwise it is recycled clothing that has already been worn,” she says.

This year was the first year entering her clothing brand in an international

event, but she says it was really exciting.

As part of this year’s New Zealand Eco Fashion Exposed, based in Lower Hutt, Lisa designed a chil-dren’s range to accompany designs of Denise Angle-sey’s label.

Lisa’s first outfit for the show was a petal dress, made out of fabric swatches, and modelled by Wainuiomata girl Abby Shingleton.

“I just want to open up the awareness of people...Anything can be made into clothes, and what’s better is, you can use what you already have,” Lisa says.

The mother of two girls started sewing clothes as part of a rehabilitation process after injuring her back. Lisa says she fell in love with the colour and texture that sewing bought back into her life, and everything she makes is full of enthusiasm.

While Lisa got a kick out of the business and was recognised by designers

from overseas, she says the long term goal would be ideally keeping it local and remembering where she started.

She says there is so much passion and positivity in Wainuiomata, and for her to encourage others to make their own clothes would be great.

In between work and looking after her chil-dren, Lisa only has one day a week to sew for her brand. Despite this, she is planning for the 2015 event, with a boys and girls ranged in the pipeline.

“I’m proud and thankful for the community’s sup-port over the years,” she says.

Lisa says her children are proud to wear the outfi ts she makes, with a number of the designs from the recent fashion show al-ready claimed by her two daughters.

“Right now it’s about stocking up and planning for the 2015 event,” she says.

Kia ora koutou, my name is Hiria and I look forward to getting to know you all. From my experience as a teacher, I have found that children possess a wonderful energy which I love to work with in order to help them to be every bit of what they are capable of being. I strongly believe in encouraging

children to grow up to be lifelong learners that are able to be as independent as possible, make friends, express their ideas and feel confident within their community. I have a passion for providing everyday learning experiences that include natural exploration, sustainable practice and Māori language.

My partner Kim and I share eight children and 5 mokopuna. In my leisure time I enjoy all forms of physical activity and spending time with family and friends’.

Giving up mail-runs for a career with PORSE in-home childcare has been the best move Lisa Doell has made.

The Lower Hutt PORSE educator said getting fi t on the job had its perks, but after ten years of delivering mail, often in the wind and rain, she was physically drained and looking for a change of career.

Having the fl exibility to work from home and care for her own daughter as well as other children re-ally appealed to Lisa, so she signed up with PORSE eight years ago and hasn’t looked back.

“I’d highly recommend a career as a PORSE in-home educator, especially if you have young children of your own. It’s meant I have been able to be there for my daughter and she has been able to have other children to play with while I have been able to run a business at the same time.”

Lisa, 43, has fi ve children in her care, all part-time.

“The children I have fi t straight in and feel like part of the family, all the relationships I’ve forged with them are special. I am very close with each and every one of them and I feel like I have helped make a

difference in their lives.” “Personally I feel like

some children get lost within centre based care, but with PORSE they all get one-on-one attention. We have our homely routines but we’re not stuck indoors, we can go for walks, join playgroups and every day is different, which makes my job very interesting and rewarding. It is such a fulfi lling job that doesn’t even feel like work.”

Postie Turned PORSE Educator Now Heading in the Right Direction


Ahead of his outing representing New Zealand at indoor cricket, Callum Mackaness is asking the community to get behind him through sponsor-ship.Right now, Callum is attending regular training camps and says he is looking forward to representing New Zealand, but is hopeful for more support.He will be running a raffle which will be drawn on Sep-tember 5, with the prize being logo on shirts, naming rights for team, acknowledged in all promotional prints such as programmes and tourna-ment draws, and all written and verbal media opportunities - to name a few draw cards.Tickets are $500 and companies can purchase more than one to increase the chance of being successful.

If there are any businesses or members of the community that are happy to off er sponsorship, contact Callum via email: [email protected].

Continued from page 1By Dan Whitfi eld

The young cricketer was picked for the representative position last year after he competed in a provincial tournament where he was part of a Wellington u20 crew. Based on his performance at this tournament, he was named in the New Zealand indoor line up.

“I was shocked to be selected, it's was a dream that I have had since I was little to represent my country in cricket,” he says.

The competition Callum will be play-ing in will be the Indoor Cricket World Cup hosted by Wellington in October.

Wellington played host to this event in 2002 and organisers have promised this year’s competition will be every bit as successful.

It will be hosted by one of Welling-ton's newest indoor sports stadiums, Hutt Indoor Sports.

“The best part of the process so far has been all the training camps. Recently I travelled up to Auckland and it was an awesome weekend with the boys.

Currently there is just me and one other in the team from wellington, and as a team we are training for the world cup,” Callum says.

“My parents have been all I could ask for, if not more. They have sup-ported me fi nancially and have always encouraged me into doing the best that I possibly can,” he says.

Callum is also leading his school this year, holding the position of head boy for 2014. He also has a goal of heading to Auckland to study physical education after the world cup and his fi nal year at school.

While being very humble, Callum says he is not better at either batting or bowling, as with indoor cricket you are required to have a good level in all aspects of the game.

He has a fi ve year goal of being in the Wellington and New Zealand men's cricket teams.

Callum currently plays indoor and outdoor cricket and soccer. He has a spot on the Wellington u20 representa-tive team as well as the Hutt Indoor Sports team.

Teenager named in NZ U20 cricket team

By Dan Whitfi eld

All season Wainuiomata has played hard, attacking rugby and a recent two point win over under 21 Kapiti counterparts has allowed the local side to have a shot at taking out this year’s championship.

Putting the pressure on right from the beginning of the game, Wainuiomata knew that to win, smart rugby had to be played – as conditions were tough and muddy.

Despite both teams playing hard and never giving up, Kapiti opened the scoring of the game; but celebrations were cut short following two Wainuio-mata tries – both to Saita Tuaoi.

With Kapiti at times struggling to get out of its own half, Wainuiomata went into the break with a slim lead of 14-12.

The second half started with Kapiti coming out of the blocks looking like a different team, and putting in some good attacking plays.

Exchanging try for try, both Wainuio-mata and Kapiti did not want to settle, seeing the two teams score a further two tries each. Wainuiomata’s two tries went to Jalan Farris and Lotomau Aliivaa.

The game came down to missed attempt at converting a try, with the fi nal score ending up 24-22 and Wai-nuiomata taking the honours.

Both teams scored four tries over the

weekend; however Wainuiomata man-aged to kick two conversions, while Kapiti only converted one.

Wainuiomata player of the day went to captain Alesana Mene.

The semi final game was held in Wainuiomata in front of a rather large crowd which showed up to support the home team.

Up next, Wainuiomata face Poneke in the grand fi nal. Held this Saturday and needing a huge crowd to support and help the team lift the cup, kick off will be 2.30pm at Kilbirnie Park.

Minus a loss in round one of the competition, earlier games this year saw Wainuiomata succeed on multiple occasions.

Wainuiomata Tennis Club held its Annual General Meeting over the weekend, with of-� cials pleased with support and input.

The meeting gave members, and those inter-ested in joining the club, to come ask questions and vote in the people they thought would best lead and manage the club for the next year.

Although most of the committee were re-standing, the club had invited more people to volunteer – speci� cally needing a club captain and senior interclub convenor this year.

The annual report is set to be available on the club’s website.

DEAD RECKONING

Holden has given its Trax SUV a turbo boost with the introduction of the new range-topping LTZ model – boasting a 1.4 litre iTi turbo petrol engine as part of a 2015 model year upgrade.

Already widely regarded as a fun, edgy, urban adventure machine, the new turbocharged Trax LTZ adds more zip to go with its sporty styling for a true sporty package.

Available on the top-of-the-range LTZ model, the 1.4-litre turbo-charged, four-cylinder engine pro-duces a maximum power of 103kW and 200Nm of torque, on tap from a low 1850rpm, and combined with the standard six-speed automatic transmission with Active Select, makes this Trax a winner wherever your journey takes the driver.

Its powerful sporty lines and big 18-inch alloy wheels are com-plemented by a standard electric sunroof that gives the interior a bright spacious feeling whether you are zipping around town or out on the open road.

As well as the option of the new turbo engine, the Trax LTZ comes standard with a 1.8-litre four-cylinder petrol engine with six-speed automatic transmission and for 2015, Holden has added stylish enhancements.

Outside the Trax LTZ, drivers will notice stylish new design 18-inch alloy wheels and the option of a new bold Blaze Red colour. Also, the comfortable and highly fl exible interior that easily caters for work, sport or play gains a driver arm rest and automatic rain-sensing windscreen wipers for greater convenience.

Both the LS and LTZ Trax models also maintain a very high level of features all aimed at making the driving experience easier, more comfortable and safer with Elec-tronic Stability Control, six airbags, Hill Start Assist and Descent Control System, rear view camera, cruise control, automatic headlights and power windows all standard across the range.

Sport Wainuiomata have teamed up with local clubs to launch a series of Give it a Go sports events during the month of September.

The Give it a Go series is a com-munity led pilot programme that involves a number of individuals, clubs and community groups get-ting together.

Project manager Terina Cowan says: “The series is about hav-ing fun but at the same time understanding how we can work together to add value to our com-munity.”

“Collaboration and working

together is key in the success of this pilot,” she says.

Events on offer vary from inline roller hockey, croquet and futsal, as well as basketball, netball and turbo touch.

The basketball event organiser Renee Olsen says: “People have responded positively to the series, we had to extend the number of entries because of the response.”

“People are very pleased that the events are local,” she says.

While the Give it a Go series is only a pilot initiative, the or-ganisers of it hope to make it an

annual event for the Wainuiomata community.

The project relies heavily on its partnership with Wainuiomata High School and local clubs.

Terina says: “Without the support we have received from a number of partners this would not be pos-sible, the response we get from the community will determine where we go next”.

The events are delivered on dif-ferent days during the month of September.

Contact Terina Cowan on 021 026 76177.

Give it a Go September ready to go

The premier 2 Ulalei Wainuiomata Netball team has made it to the grand fi nals after taking out an impressive 44-23 win over Maidstone at the weekend.

Ulalei 2 marched to the fi nal after an emphatic victory, which saw the local side blow away the op-position in the fi rst quarter with an eight goal lead. Then leading the game by 10 goals at half time.

The defensive effort of Summer Murray, Memory Hopoi, Lilly Laban, Losa Aiono and Lahraine Sagaga put huge pressure on the opposition forcing passes easily intercepted by the Ulalei defence.

Lilly Laban in particular picked up numerous intercepts to win the player of the day award.

At the attacking end, Maidstone had no answer for the fl uency of the Ulalei attackers Atiria Sem-mens, Ressa Lealofi and Moli Tauaneai, with set plays completed by the sharp shooters Sina Tamaalii and Gene Solia-Gibb.

A team spokesperson says this was an impressive win by Ulalei, completely dominating the opposi-tion from start to fi nish.

Ulalei 2 is set to take on old foes Naenae Col-legians in the fi nal at the end of the month – August 30.

The game is set to start at 12.30pm and will be held at Walter Nash Stadium.

To the Regional Super League, Ulalei’s top-teired team also played Maidestone but came up short,

losing 47-37.Coach Tunis Cook says: “It was not the happy

ending we were hoping for, but our team came back bravely, however lacking their usual sparkle.”

“Chelsea Plumridge tried her best to refute the opposition with constant defensive pressure. Travistine Cook earned the player of the day award grabbing a wealth of turnovers, unfortunately the ball did not fall for the team, and the shooting statistics that are usually in the high 80s plum-meted like the temperature,” she says.

Ulalei 1 now takes on Naenae Collegians on Thursday, August 21, with the game starting at 7pm. It will be held at Te Rauparaha Arena.

Entries have opened for the 2014 Hutt City Tri; and organisers are encouraging everyone interested in taking part to start training.

With more than three months to train for the event, competitors are being asked to be brave and sign up.

This year’s entries for the popular ‘beginner’ Triathlon, Duathlon and Shoe Clinic 5

km opened last week, and the event has been scheduled to run on November23.

The event is often touted as a ‘beginner triathlon’ because it is a great, achievable goal for regularly active people, say organisers.

To sign up or for more information, head to www.huttcitytri.co.nz.

Ulalei Wainuiomata Netball Club is hosting a fundraisng quiz night this weekend, with members of the community urged to at-tend and support their local teams.The event will be happening on Saturday, August 23, and starting from 7pm. It will be held at the Wainuiomata Rugby League Clubrooms.For more information, contact Tunis Cook on 022 162 4562.

Perfect conditions gave Wainuiomata Harriers runners a great opportunity to show what they are made of, following Saturday’s annual Bays Relay in Wellington.

The relay involved five runners competing in distances ranging from 3.9km to 4.8km; with all grades starting at Island Bay and fi nishing at Evans Bay Parade.

Wainuiomata Harriers sent two teams this year, including a masters women’s team which had a great start with Georgina Cox running the fi rst leg and placing the team in second place. In the end the team placed third, giving it the best placing for any of the club’s teams for several years.

In the meantime, the masters men’s team started off with Alan Carman running the fi rst leg, bringing the team in at eighth position. The team only lost one position from here, seeing it fi nish in ninth.

For the last few years there has been friendly competition between these two teams, with the men winning in overall time. This year was no different, but the men fi nished up only three and a half minutes

ahead of the women over the 22km course.The results for the masters women’s race saw leg one

ran by Georgina Cox. She ran 4.8km in 19 minutes and seven seconds. Leg two saw Shelley Tietjens step up, running 4.6km in 20 minutes and 55 seconds. Leg three was Nikki Braniff-Jones’ chance to run. She ran the 4.8km distance in 21 minutes and two seconds. Leg four was Trish Coley’s race, running 3.9km in 19 minutes and 32 seconds; with leg fi ve being run by Jen Stoupe, a 4.1km distance, in 19 minutes and 20 seconds.

Results for the men’s race saw leg one ran by Alan Carman. He ran a distance of 4.8km in a time of 20 minutes and 21 seconds. Leg two was Paul Richard-son’s chance to run, completing a 4.6km stage in 19 minutes and 30 seconds. Al Forsyth was called upon for leg three, running 4.8km in 21 minutes and 27 seconds. Leg four saw Warwick Pettigrew run 3.9km in 17 minutes and 14 seconds, with Don McGowan running leg fi ve’s 4.1km distance in 17 minutes and 54 seconds.

Full results are on the club’s website – www.sports-

It was Wainuiomata’s last hoorah coming up against Johnsonville in its fi nal game of the season over the weekend.

Playing in the under 85kg weight restricted division, Wainuiomata 80/85s ended its year at Mary Crowther in what could only described unacceptable conditions – with the referee almost giving up on the game as well.

Despite this, Johnsonville wanted to play and the challenge was ac-cepted by Wainuiomata.

From kick off, both sides set about sounding each other out. Wainuiomata were slightly guilty of trying to play an expansive game at pace; but this was soon altered as turnovers tipped the game Johnsonville’s way.

Wainuiomata also tried to match Johnsonville’s territorial kicking but conditions annulled that. Half time saw the home side come out

seven points down. Following many infringements,

identifying the offender was merely a guess at the breakdowns, because both sides were entirely covered in mud.

A penalty try was awarded, even though no card was given, which took Johnsonville’s score to 14-nil.

Johnsonville played a very skilled, no holds barred game, and equally Wainuiomata did the same; showing no quarter and see-ing players give back all they had.

Wainuiomata crashed the line over and over in the second half, but were denied by being held up on every occasion. Both at-tack and defence by Johnsonville and Wainuiomata in the trying conditions was determined and complimentary to the spirit to which the game was played, says coach Brad Coote.

The result was sealed by a late

dubious try in the dying stages of the game, giving Johnsonville a 21-nil victory.

“The loss was disappointing but the spirit is strong. [Players] can hold their heads high with next season looking good from the experienced learnt this season for a team in the process of rebuilding,” Brad says.

Supporters for the team and club were thanked by players and coaching staff.

“Management take this oppor-tunity to thank the seven original players from last year for their unrelenting support and encour-agement given to the younger, predominately league new comers, who came through with honours. Well done team,” Brad says.

Johnsonville missed out on pro-gressing in the competition by one point, also ending its season on Saturday.
