A local teacher has been pre-sented with his prizes on Friday after winning the Warehouse Stationary’s most inspirational teacher award.
Wadestown teacher Richard Smith was awarded with the Inspirational Teacher award dur-ing a school assembly on Friday.
Richard was overwhelmed by the support and appreciation he had received
“This is an amazing day,” he said to the assembly.
“It is very special to have someone say something like this about you, but nothing I do I do by myself – it’s a team effort,” he said.
The teacher was the overall winner, surpassing 5537 other nominations in the fi fth year of the inspirational teacher cam-paign.
The nomination written by a parent of one of Richard’s students, Maria Edwards, ex-plained why this teacher is one of the best.
“After having children in education for the past 18 years I knew Richard was not an ordinary teacher.
“For the past 18 months, he has given my daughter and every other child in his year seven and eight class the gift of a lifetime - the ability to believe in themselves and the skills to learn in the way that best suits them,” the nomination stated.
Warehouse Stationery’s busi-ness development manager Mata Te Pania said the competition has gone from “strength to strength” every year.
“It is something people really get behind.
“We all know how teachers go above and beyond the call of duty,” she said.
Husband of Richard’s nomina-tor, Ant Edwards explained why the couple wanted to give something back to Richard.
“As soon as we met Richard we knew there was something exceptional about him.
“We wanted to do something nice for him so Maria decided
Wadestown teacher Richard Smith receives his award for New Zealand’s most inspirational teacher.
New Zealand’s Most Inspirational Teacherto nominate him for the most inspirational teacher award,” he said.
Richard received a number of gifts including a $5000 travel card, a $200 gift card, a box of stationery and a Notebook.
Principal Sally Barrett thanked Richard for his contri-bution to the school.
“Today we are celebrating Mr Smith’s amazing achievement.
“Thank you for your contribu-tion through your energy, vital-ity, passion and commitment to children’s education,” she said.
Richard and his family will be heading over to Cambodia early next year to educate children and help those in need.
Youth awarded for community involvement By Sharnahea Wilson
The Johnsonville Youth Awards saw another successful year with 19 young students being awarded for their efforts over the past year.
Chair of the Youth Award Trustees, Chris Kirk-Burnnand, said the event held in John-sonville shopping centre, on October 22, was a great success and the Trust is looking to grow the event even further.
“Each year there are so many outstanding applicants that im-press the Trustees with their involvement in the wider com-munity.
“The Trust is focused on youth development and giving grants
to young people to help with education, sport and the arts,” Chris said.
One of last year’s awardees Richard Kay spoke on the night.
Richard captained the Under 19 men’s Underwater Hockey Team and went on to win a Gold medal for New Zealand.
Local winners this year includ-ed Francis Rankin of Newlands College for having received one of the highest awards a St Johns cadet leader can attain – be-ing selected to represent New Zealand for St Johns youth at international competitions.
Laila Smith of Onslow College was also awarded for her success in gymnastics and circus arts, as well as her “keen leadership
skills in helping others”. MP Peter Dunne was the
guest speaker on the night and presented this year’s awards.
Johnsonville Youth Grants has now granted over $565,000 to 325 young people since its establishment in 1987.
Core funding this year came from Autoshop Group which has donated over $260,000 in the last ten years.
For over 20 years the awards have been hosted at the John-sonville Rotary Club.
“The move to Johnsonville shopping centre is a step to-wards getting greater involve-ment from the North Wellington business community,” Chris said. Charlotte Hollywood receiving her award from MP Peter Dunne.

Aro Valley had a scorcher of a day as it celebrated the annual Aro Valley Fair and the ArOlympics on Saturday, March 12.
Under cloudless skies, thou-sands enjoyed 55 stalls of lo-cal, handmade and sustainable goods and healthy food. The stalls were encouraged to use biodegradable packaging and recycling facilities.
Two stages showcased a variety of presentations and performances throughout the day which began with a kapa haka and Chinese fan dance performance by Te Aro School.
The second annual ArOlym-pic Games opened on Friday night when a torch was carried from the bottom of Holloway Road, down Aro Street to the ‘ArOlympic Arena’ at Aro Park.
Residents formed teams by street name and wore cos-tumes and waved fl ags as they competed in balloon tossing, limbo and a pentathlon.
ArOlympic players had their hair and make-up done free in a tent called the ‘Shabby Salon’ to encourage an ‘Aro Valley shabby style’.
Organisers said the ArO-lympics had a bigger turnout this year and are “proud of the Valley”.

FFC rider Gary Baird said the group which meets three days a week in Thorndon has gone on a lot of one day rides but have never done anything
“of this magnitude” before. “We wanted to do something
that would be a challenge,” he said.
With an end goal of raising
Wellington cyclists ride to raise funds for children’s charity
$250,000 for KidsCan, each member of the group has an individual Givealittle page, the group as a whole has a Givealittle page and they have also held fundraisers and received multiple spon-sorships.
“We have had lots of corpo-rate sponsorship which has made a massive contribu-tion,” Brian said.
The group will leave for Christchurch on Saturday, March 19 and are aiming to arrive in Queenstown on the Wednesday where they will travel up to the tip of Coronet Peak.
Brian said the cyclists will be riding for five to seven hours each day covering 650 kilometres in total.
The riders have already raised over $100,000.
Brian said there are many
schools on the waiting list for KidsCan.
“We have a deal that for every $50,000 raised we will get to choose one of the schools to come off the waiting list to be permanently helped by KidsCan,” Brian said.
The group will focus on schools in the Porirua area as it has the highest number of decile one schools in the country.
They will also get the op-portunity to be able to visit a school with KidsCan to help give out shoes, coats and lunches.
KidsCan supports over 18,000 hungry children each week. Visit www.givealit-tle.co.nz/fundraiser/ffcrac-ingteam# to donate to FFC’s worthy cause.

Wellingtonians are being asked to give generously toward relief e� orts in Fiji, as it recovers from the devastation caused by Cyclone Winston. Mayor Celia Wade-Brown said the Wellington City Council is � rmly supportive of the charities and relief agencies, which are working to restore communities, neighbourhoods and services with the Fijian government. “The advice from agencies working to restore Fiji’s com-munities is to donate cash rather than food, clothing or other goods.” You can donate to the Oxfam Cyclone Winston Appeal at oxfam.org.nz/Winston.

Local playcentre’s have recently celebrated 75 suc-cessful years of existence.
The Johnsonville Playcen-tre had a week-long cel-ebration including making decorations and hosting a picnic.
Mother and Johnsonville Playcentre teacher Andrea Morgan said it was amazing to have a place where you can go and play with your
children while also being part of their education.
“At playcentre we take children from birth to pri-mary school.”
To celebrate turning 75, Andrea and the rest of the parents who run Johnson-ville Playecentre made decorations with the theme of playcentre’s colours and held a picnic day with old and current members.
“We also have some ex-cursions planned such as
visiting the Otari-Wilton’s Bush,” Andrea said.
She said playcentre pro-vides people with a great sense of community.
“You end up having a whole community of sup-port.”
“It is nice to be part of your child’s education and I think it is so benefi cial,” she said.
Karori Playcentre was established in April 1941, with Kelburn following soon after.

Designers have banded together after being “excluded” from a local art project, which is set to go ahead this week despite their opposition.
Artist and muralist Ruth Tay-lor’s brief, which was focussed on both the work of Kaori artist E. Mervyn Taylor and the help of local school students, was selected last year to be painted
on the recently rebuilt wall at Marsden in Karori.
A group of 10 designers hit back at the decision, arguing the process in which the artist was chosen was unfair. They have also expressed disappointment with the design of the mural.
Local designer Adam Err-ington said the council “refused input from professional designers and the wider community”.
“We are concerned about the
(Left to right) Artist and muralist Ruth Taylor, WCC community advisor Sarah Adams, Karori Association Chair Lesleigh Salinger, Steering group member Martine Foster and mural artist Ian Taylor. PHOTO: Sharnahea Wilson
shocking process and the quality of work which breaks a string of sound design principles,” he said.
The decision to select Ruth’s brief came after a steering group, run by chair of the Karori As-sociation, Lesleigh Salinger, was created by the Wellington City Council.
The group featured representa-tives of the Rotary, Lions, Karori Association, council officers and Karori Historical Society, as well as extensive input from local schools.
“This process has taken a cou-ple of years and sits completely within council policies in terms of community engagement,” Lesleigh said.
According to Lesleigh the offer for artists to put their hand up to design and paint the mural was advertised on the Wellington City Council website, the coun-cil’s Facebook page and the Toi Poneke Arts Centre Facebook page.
She said an email was also sent out to over 50 artists in the region.
Councillor Andy Foster agreed there was suffi cient notifi cation about the project and the point of the mural was to be a community artwork.
“The whole idea at the begin-ning was that the project was about the community, by the community, for the community – having children involved was an important component of that.”
The steering group held two meetings with the designers where the group and Ruth heard feedback. Lesleigh said the designers’ feedback was taken into consideration.
The fi nal design was then ap-proved by the Public Art Panel and the painting of the mural by Ruth and her father is set to begin this afternoon.
Ruth said the process has been a lengthy one and she is delighted to fi nally start painting.
“We hope to be fi nished the mural by April 7,” she said.
What are your thoughts on the � nal design? Email [email protected] and let us know.

Making identifying a lost pet easy
Local vet Alix Barclay encourages people to check their pet’s microchips. . PHOTO: Bella Photography
By Rachel Binning
A local vet is encouraging pet owners to have their pets microchips checked regularly.
Regional Manager of Pet Doctors and vet at Kelburn and Thorndon practices Dr Alix Barclay thinks microchipping an easy and cost effective way to help identify a lost animal quickly.
“I've learned that prompt action [to fi nd your pet] helps get [them] home,” he said.
Alix is often spotted at dog-friendly events around Wellington with his handheld microchip detector carry-ing out free and painless microchip checks.
“We usually fi nd some with micro-chips that have failed,” Alix said.
As well as being compulsory for dogs, most animals can be micro-chipped as long as they are big enough.
“I've seen cats, dogs, large birds, lizards, horses and alpacas with microchips.”
Microchipping is “kind of like get-ting your pet to memorise your phone number so that someone can help them get back in touch with you”, Alix said.
After the Christchurch earthquake over 80 per cent of microchipped pets were reunited with their families compared with only 15 per cent of unchipped animals.
Microchips are not perfect and may
not last a pet’s lifetime. In May 2013 the New Zealand
Veterinary Association (NZVA) informed the public a batch of in-ternational microchip manufacturer Virbac’s ‘BackHome’ microchips were defective.
The NZVA said, “… after some time, the electrical impulse that activates the microchip becomes faulty”.
Virbac estimated up to two per cent of its microchips were faulty.
However, this estimate is question-able and the issue remains relevant for pet owners.
“Certainly in some regions, [the estimate] seems to be much higher than that.
“If you do have a chip from a dodgy batch then I'd encourage owners to get their pet's chips checked at least every six months,” Alix said.
Microchips cost $40-$70. Talk to your vet about recovering costs if your pet’s Virbac microchip needs to be replaced.
Alix will continue checking mi-crochips as he knows all microchips are a “techno-gadget [and] some microchips will just stop working.”
Check if your pet is on the Com-panion Animal Register at animal-register.co.nz. Virbac microchips of concern are serial numbers 9000 8800 or 90000 800 to 90000 8800 259208.

A children’s garden in the Wellington Botanic Garden’s is officially under construction after a sod turning by local school kids and Mayor Celia Wade-Brown.
Children from Kelburn Normal School and Northland School, along with the Mayor, Councillors and Botanic Garden offi cials gathered together for the fi rst sod on Friday, March 11.
The offi cial construction can get un-derway as over half of the funds needed for New Zealand’s fi rst educational chil-dren’s garden have already been raised.
Celia said it was wonderful to have the offi cial physical beginning of the
garden. “Wellington is the cultural and politi-
cal capital of the country and I think we are the natural capital too,” she said.
Celia said she has been to children’s gardens in Melbourne and London and thinks it is a fantastic achievement to have one built in our very own city.
“It is about connecting children with nature.”
The schools were able to have a say on what they thought the new garden pro-ject should look like and Celia said these youngsters have been “so enthusiastic”.
Councillor Helene Ritchie who spoke on the day said the new garden would sew the seed for future generations to be connected with nature.
Students of Northland School get down in the dirt at Wellington’s Botanic gardens.
Children’s garden offi cially underway
Do you know a Local Hero?The Independent Herald, in conjunc-tion with the Johnsonville Shopping Centre will be running a new 'Local Hero' feature. In our up-coming is-sues we would like to celebrate those people in the community who might not be getting the recognition they deserve for the inspiring deeds they do.Each month we will choose one Lo-cal Hero from the local community who has done a good deed (sorry no volunteer groups as we want to recognise independent individuals). This can be anything from someone raising money for a sick child, to some-one dedicating their time to helping people in need. The feature will give people the chance to thank those people in the community whose good deeds might go unrecognised. Each Lo-cal Hero will be interviewed for a story with a photo and will receive a voucher for the Johnsonville Shopping Centre.
If you would like to nominate some-one who � ts the bill, contact Sharnahea Wilson at [email protected] or on 5871660.
The New Zealand Caravan Association is holding a 60th Jubilee in Levin and everyone is invited. Members of the Association encourage anyone who is interested in getting a caravan to go along to the jubilee-meets-open-day and see what they are all about. The Jubilee will be held across two days from March 26-27. There will be a mar-ket day on the Sunday featuring over 50 exciting stalls as well as a showcase of new caravans and motorvans. There are 38 towns where Caravan Associa-tion members can go with their houses on wheels and owners describe their caravans as a “home away from home”. The Jubilee will be held at Horowhenua Event Centre on Victoria Street, Levin.

A programme allowing children as young as two years old to get a taste for New Zealand’s national sport is making its way to the north-ern suburbs.
Local man Richard Barker opened a branch of Rugby Tots in Khandal-lah at the start of the school term this year and is already looking to expand it further.
Richard believes Rugby Tots is a great way to get young children enthusiastic about exercise.
“It’s about encouraging kids to get involved in sport and activity from a young age.
“It helps with coordination and balance – physical and social skills,” he said.
Starting off in the UK 15 years ago, Rugby Tots opened its fi rst New Zealand branch two and a half years ago in Auckland.
It has now spread across the coun-try to places including Christch-urch, Hamilton and Tauranga.
Young girls and boys who go to Rugby Tots start off learning the sport with sponge rugby balls.
“We also set up mini goals and the kids can practice kicking a ball off a cone to try getting it over the goal.”
Richard said the great thing about Rugby Tots is the children also get to learn about different colours and shapes while they are playing.
“That’s what parents really like about it,” he said.
The children will also do stretches before each lesson as they would in rugby training and they even have Rugby Tots uniforms to play in.
Richard Barker and his young daughter are excited to open a new Rugby Tots programme. PHOTO: Sharnahea Wilson
Tiny tots taught national sport
The programme runs from age’s two to seven and each session has two qualifi ed coaches who have learned the Rugby Tots course, the Small Blacks Course and a fi rst aid course.
“People are already coming over to Khandallah from the Hutt and Porirua.
“I would like to spread Rugby Tots around Wellington,” Richard said.
Richard will be opening a Rugby
Tots in Northland for the beginning of Term Two in May.
Rugby Tots is so popular in Khan-dallah, as well as already gaining traction in Northland, that the Wellington branch is looking to get more coaches on board.

About 30 people gathered together to celebrate one year since the fi rst meeting of Churton Park Toastmasters at the Churton Park Community Centre on Thursday, March 10.
One of the founders of Churton Park Toastmasters Stacey McGavin said a lot of people did not know much about the international club before joining their local one.
“I’m proud to see how much the club has grown – it’s great to see how everyone has progressed,” she said.
The members celebrated the night with a birthday cake before they were presented with a banner and a certificate which recognises them as an offi cial club.
The first official member of the club Karen King said the certifi cate means Churton Park Toastmasters is now “A fully established club in the eyes of the international head offi ce”.
Stacey and Karen both said a huge thank you to Maya Beddie-Geiser who has put many hours into making the club what it
is today. “The entire theme of the night was about
celebrating success,” Karen said. Other members of Toastmasters were
equally excited about the club’s first birthday.
"Toastmasters has helped me overcome my fear of speaking. I'm now much more confi dent in work situations – speaking to managers, making presentations and lead-ing meetings," club member Josh Gross said.
Fellow member Sally Bing agreed saying “Toastmasters means bringing out the best of everyone in our community. A group of like-minded people get together every second week on Thursday. We tell our stories and inspire each other.”
The club now has 21 offi cial members and Karen said they are hoping to build on this even more.
She said everyone is welcome to come along and see for themselves how Toast-masters works. For more information or if you would like to join Churton Park Toastmasters email: [email protected]

Cashmere Home’s new Kid’s Play Group is proving popular with local parents and their children alike.
The Enliven home in Johnsonville is now inviting other parents and children to join the group on Thursday afternoons.
Cashmere Home recreation offi cer Liz Rivadelo says the group started in January this year to encourage more interaction be-tween the home’s elders and local children
“We always love having children visit and our model of care, the Eden Alterna-tive, encourages it. The contact with kids because of the difference they make to the elders lives,” Liz explains.
“There is such a natural bond between elders and children, and both age groups get so much from the interaction. You see their eyes light up.”
The drop-in group meets every Thursday at Cashmere Home in Helston Road, Johnsonville from 1pm to 3.30pm.
“Some of the children’s grandparents aren’t around so it’s great for them to have that contact with older people and the residents love it,” Liz explains.
“It’s also great for parents. It’s a place mums and dads can come with their young children to socialise.”
Cashmere Home resident Therese Shields says she enjoys the new play group because it means there are more children visiting the home.
“The kids are lovely and the mums are great too. I love children, having had four
of my own, and it’s a great group because the mums and children learn from each other,” Therese says.
“I used to go to a group like that many years ago. It was a big help being around other mums.”
Cashmere Home play group attendee Srikantha Robinson helped to organise the group and says it’s a great way for local mums and young children to meet.
“It’s about company, making friends with other mums and babies making friends as well. It’s like a support structure,” says Srikantha.
“It’s a drop in group and the time is so fl exible. It can be hard to get out of the house in the morning and it means mums can drop in any time between 1pm and 3.30pm on weeks when they can make it.”
Another play group attendee, Kiri Mackintosh, says the group is a way to engage with the local community and to meet new people.
"As an early childhood teacher I love the idea of young children being involved in the community and the benefi ts this has for the children and the elderly residents,” Kiri explains.
“There are children of all ages here which is really nice.” PBA For more information about Enliven’s Cashmere Home or the Kids Play Group, located at 51 Helston Road in John-sonville, call 04 477 7067 or visit www.enlivencentral.org.nz.

Dear Ed, I write in re-sponse to S Jansen. Yes, of course I am familiar with ALL the café’s S Jansen names in the northern sub-urbs. Only one of those l isted, has coffee that comes passably close to the quality you’d expect in the Coffee Capital. I’m
far from alone in my ob-servation that our area has a high quality coffee drought. And believe me S Jansen, if I had the capital to open a decent café as you suggest, I would.
Catherine BindonWoodridge
Life’s too short for bad coffeeDear Ed, In your news item
about art revitalising local parks, Councillor Iona Pannett was quoted as saying, "We know Wellingtonian’s want more green space." She is ab-solutely right. With a growing population, especially in the inner city areas, it is essential for our physical and mental
health to have green spaces for recreation, or just for looking at. More would be a welcome bonus - we also have to fi ght to preserve existing green space, like the Jack Ilott Green and Frank Kitts Park.

A pleasure to support Child Cancer Appeal
Child CancerFOUNDATION APPEAL
This year’s Child Cancer Appeal Month is currently taking place. March Appeal Month is the Child Cancer Foundation’s biggest fundraising campaign for the year. The aim of the month is to both raise awareness about the vital support the Child Cancer Foundation offers to children with cancer and their families. During the month of March the founda-tion also seeks donations to support its work. More than three children are diagnosed with cancer each week in New Zea-land. At any given time the Foundation is supporting more than 500 families’ nationwide – offering support in hospi-tal, at home and in the community. As a stand-alone charity that receives no direct funding from the government, the Foundation relies on the generosity of New Zealanders to help it deliver sup-port to families when they need it most.As part of the March Appeal Month the foundation’s Street Appeal will take
place this Friday, March 18 and Sat-urday, March 19. As part of the Street Appeal, volunteers will hit the streets of Wellington to raise much needed money to help the Child Cancer Foundation continue on with its work. Volunteers would be dressed in aqua blue and lo-cals are encouraged to keep an eye out for them this week.The foundation’s popular Funrazor event will also take place this month. Funrazor is a Child Cancer Foundation fundraising initiative that encourages participants to shave their lids for brave kids with cancer. There are several events participants can join around the country. Participants are also encour-aged to organise their own events and ask friends and family to sponsor them.

Hot cross buns are synonymous with Easter. This year, why not try your own? Nothing beats a warm hot cross bun straight from the oven. (SOURCE: www.food.com)
Ingredients:2 tablespoons active dry yeast2 cups � our1⁄2 cup brown sugar2 teaspoons salt1 cup cold milk1 cup boiling water50 g butter, melted1 egg1 cup mixed fruit1 tablespoon mixed spice1 tablespoon cinnamon3 to 4 cups � ourFor the crosses:1⁄2 cup � our2 tablespoons oilWater, to tasteFor the glaze:2 tablespoons water1⁄4 cup sugarMethod:Place yeast mixture, � our, brown sugar
and salt into a large bowl. Stir to mix and then add the cold milk, followed by the boiling water. Stir thoroughly to mix.
Leave to stand for three minutes. Melt the butter and assemble the rest of the
ingredients.Stir in the rest of the ingredients,
except for the � our.Now add as much flour as need to
make a dough just � rm enough to turn out on a board and knead.
Knead the dough for 5-10 minutes until smooth. It should spring back when you press it with a � nger.
Oil a large bowl and turn the dough ball in this until it is coated in oil. Cover the mixture with plastic wrap and leave to stand until it doubles in size.
Turn out on a � oured board, knead lightly and cut into 30 evenly sized pieces.
Form each piece into a ball and arrange the buns in rows in a dish or pan with at least 1 cm between them.
Preheat the oven to 220C and when ready turn the heat down to 200C.
Put crosses on the buns by making a paste of the � our and oil, then adding enough water to make dough that can be passed out of an icing bag. Pipe the crosses on the buns.
Put the buns in the oven and bake for about 15 minutes until they brown slightly and feel � rm.
Remove from oven and glaze with a hot syrup made by heating sugar and water. Cool buns on a rack.
For those who don’t have as much of a sweet tooth, why not try making your own Easter eggs these holidays? It’s also a great activity for the children over long weekend.
You’ll need:EggsA scalpelBowlA wooden skewer or long needleAssemble:Gently pierce the end of an egg with
the scalpel.Repeat at other end. Make sure both
holes are large enough to insert a skewer into.
Insert the skewer and gently move it around a little to break up the yolk.
Place your mouth over one end, with the other end over a bowl, gently blow into the egg. It might take a few pu� s before it starts to come out. If the yolk appears stuck, break it up with the skewer again.
Now hold a � nger over the bottom hole and place the top one under running water so the egg catches a little water. Shake it around a little and blow out again.
Leave to dry and then they’re ready to decorate. Use paint, glitter and felts or any other bits and bobs you have lying around the house.

Victoria University’s com-mitment to sustainability and responsible environmental management saw them take out top honours at the prestig-ious Australasia Green Gown Awards.
Victoria University won the carbon reduction category of the awards, recognising its success in reducing CO2 from buildings and transportation on campus by 12 per cent since 2007.
The CO2 reductions hap-pened during a period when the University has continued to grow.
Victoria is the fi rst New Zea-land University to win the carbon reduction award, which was accepted by Environmen-tal Manager Andrew Wilks.
Vice-Chancellor Professor Grant Guilford won the leader-ship category for his ongoing work in a number of areas, including integrating sustain-ability into the University’s strategic plan and encouraging government to set more ambi-
tious climate change targets.The Green Gown Awards
recognise excellence in sus-tainability within the tertiary education sector, and are open to tertiary institutions from Australia, New Zealand and the Pacifi c.
The 2015 award ceremony was held in Geelong, Australia with Victoria one of only two New Zealand universities se-lected as fi nalists.
Professor Guilford sees Victoria’s representation and success at the awards as ac-knowledgement of the impor-tance the University places on environmental responsibility in all aspects of its operations.
“I would like to thank all Victoria University staff who through their daily actions right across our teaching, re-search and campus operations are committed to ensuring a more sustainable future for our community.
“We are honoured to accept the awards,” says Professor Guilford.
Sustaining Success
Marsden Primary School girls are getting creative to spread the Buddy Day message, with the event taking place on November 13.
Besides getting the chance to design and dress a ‘big doll’, the students at all-girls school Marsden Primary in Karori spent the start of this term learning both how to be a good friend, and what it takes to raise a child.
The national event involves 1800 adults in Hamilton, Auck-land, Tauranga, Ruapehu and Wellington adopting life-sized cardboard ‘Buddies’ and taking them into communities and workplaces.
Marsden Primary teacher Richard Larsen said the school opted to be involved because they felt that Buddy Day pro-vided a good opportunity for their students to learn that it takes a community to look after a child.
“Our students have absolutely loved taking part in Buddy Day and were very receptive to it,” he said.
“We talked a lot about what makes a good buddy and what it takes to raise a child.
“One thing we noticed that was quite profound was how the students projected their strengths and challenges onto the Buddies which resulted in a non-confrontational way to get them talking about their personal challenges.”
Prior to Buddy Day, the Bud-dies are created by school and preschool children, where they are dressed, decorated, and given a name and story.
Child Matters chief executive Anthea Simcock said in its origins, Buddy Day was created to challenge existing attitudes
Children get creative to support Buddy Day
and behaviours towards the way we value our children, and shift us all towards a society that prioritises the wellbeing of children in everything we do.
“We want to encourage people to do what they can to impact children’s lives in positive ways every day – whether it is making
a change for one child, or doing something that will make a difference for many,” she said.
Participation in Buddy Day is free. Adults can register as Buddy ‘carers’ and schools can register as Buddy ‘creators’ at www.buddyday.org.nz

This year marks 175 years of public libraries in Wellington and next year the Central Li-brary building on Victoria Street will be 25 years old.
With this in mind the Welling-ton City Council said it was time to consider giving the library building a makeover.
The council was asking for members of the community to come forward with their ideas, opinions and feedback on refreshing the internal design of the building.
Councillor Sarah Free said
libraries were important to residents and the Central Library particularly so, with more visi-tors annually than Te Papa.
“Libraries are changing rap-idly – books, magazines etc. are still important but there are more online resources and the possibility of a greater variety of activities happening within the space.
“This refresh of the Central Li-brary will be a once in a decade event. I’d encourage everyone interested to have their say”.
People can provide their feed-
back by attending one of the following public meetings at the mezzanine meeting room at the Central Library.
Saturday, November 28 from midday to 2pm; Wednesday, December 2 from 7pm; and Tuesday, December 3 from midday to 2pm and from 7pm.
Future of Central Library
Feedback can also be made by fi lling in an online feedback form at wcl.govt.nz/centralfeedback by December 11.
One lucky local has helped bring the magic of DreamWorks anima-tion to life by working as a junior curator at Te Papa.
Isabella Barber was one of eight Wellington students selected to become a Te Papa junior curator for DreamWorks Animation: The Exhibition.
Year nine Isabella heard about this exciting opportunity through her teacher and thought it would be an interesting experience.
“I had taken people on tours of Queen Margaret College as an ambassador, so I thought this would be fun,” she explained.
“I was very excited to be chosen – I rang mum straight away.”
Isabella had to audition for the role by creating a two minute video about why she would make a good curator and who her favour-ite DreamWorks character was.
“I chose Eep from The Croods because she is a very brave and determined character.”
Paired off in groups of two, the junior curators underwent training so they could answer any question that might arise on their tour.
“One of the challenges has been retaining all the information – it is a very large exhibition,” Isabella said.
“You need to have enough infor-mation and make sure you keep it interesting.”
Highlights of the exhibition include an immersive dragon flight experience from How to Train Your Dragon and a zone for children and adults to get creative using professional animation tools.
After the exhibition finishes,

Isabella hopes to continue being an ambassador for the College and would like to take on future junior curator roles at Te Papa.
“It has been a privilege to be a
part of it,” Isabella Isabella gave tours on Saturday
March 12. The exhibition closes Monday March 28 and is exclusive to Te Papa in New Zealand.
DreamWorks comes to life with help of local student
A bunch of children gathered together at The Salvation Army Store in Johnsonville recently to raise funds for Fiji.
On February 13-14, kids at the-Salvation Army Store showed the awesome difference it makes when kids care about others and are prepared to turn that care into action.
Thirty-three children turned up for a sleepover on Saturday that included time at the local swim-ming pool, and an evening movie and popcorn.
When others joined them on
Sunday morning they busied themselves washing cars in the car park, decorating cupcakes and gingerbread people, and setting up for a sausage sizzle while their parents were at church.
As soon as the church service was over, adults were quick to buy baking, lolly bags, some beautiful greeting cards and sausages with proceeds going towards Nasinu in Fiji.
Altogether the children raised an impressive $631.40.
Kid’s church leader Cara Reddish reminded the kids that it is always a
real blessing to help others. “The kids in Nasinu will be so
pleased that you did this to help them,” she said.
Over the years Johnsonville Kids Church has raised money to paint a playground, buy tables and chairs and build cupboards for a Tiny Tots programme.
The Salvation Army Johnsonville ‘Kid’s Church’ programme is for children aged between two years of age to year eight and every term they get involved in a project where they can show they care about others in a practical way.
Children gather together at the Johnsonville Salvation Army Store to raise funds for Fiji.

Skylights are the perfect solution for letting the sun or daylight in, our cheapest light source available, into every corner of our home.
Skylight Specialists fi t new or replace skylights with their own high spec double glazed glass skylights.
A Government approved licensed building and roofi ng practitioner with 30 years experience in the building industry.
David began installing skylights 20 years ago and was shocked by how much of his work was repairing or replacing existing skylights because of bad workmanship on installation or brand of skylights not fulfi lling its requirements.
With his knowledge and background in building, roofing and glazing he decided to manufacture skylights to achieve a more weather tight and robust solution to both the manufacturing
and installation of skylights. Skylight Specialists do maintenance work or replace the smallest of skylights to the large conservatories.
Skylights Specials along with the manufacturing and installing their own brand skylights are also the preferred installers for other leading brand skylights. There is not a brand or type of skylight David does not know about.
Working on the roof and structure of your home requires a good amount of expertise and it’s a job that should be taken very seriously.
Skylight Specialists is locally owned and operated with the support of Dave’s wife Sue.
So if you’d like to let a little more light into your home and want the job done well, contact them for a FREE ASSESSMENT on 04 938 0721 or 027 595 4448.
And there was LIGHT!

FACT OF THE DAY
51. J.K. Rowling chose the unusual name ‘Hermione’ so young girls wouldn’t be teased for being nerdy!
Episode 2 of Karori Event Centre (KEC) TV has been launched and looks at the many uses of the new com-munity hall when it’s built. It's the local kids that feature in this light hearted episode. The architecturally designed hall will be a central venue for community classes and ac-tivities, fundraisers, fairs, movies, private functions, meetings, exhibitions and events. With a 16m stage and retractable seating (218) it brings with it the oppor-tunity for performances and concerts close to home. It can also be used for civil defense purposes. Catering for Karori and surrounding Western sub-urbs it’s the one venue that is still missing in New Zealand’s largest suburb. Ultimately this community space is all about people, community members being able to connect through their interests. The Karori Community Hall Trust, a group of local volunteers, needs another $350,000 for construction of the Centre. “Together we will make this happen for our community”, said KCHT Secretary Barrie Keenan. Donations will be gratefully accepted now, so the build can start and the Karori Event Centre can open in 2017. PBA

Motorists can expect more closures along State Highway 1 next weekend.
T he h ighway be t we en Ngauranga and Thorndon was closed last weekend and will close once again on Saturday 28 and Sunday 29 of November.
The closures will begin at 10pm and the motorway will re-open at 7am on Sunday morning and 5.30am on Mon-day morning. All lanes in both directions will be closed.
Despite the closure, Wel-lington Highway Manager, Neil
Walker said detours would be in place and everyone would be able to get where they wanted to go at all times.
However, he said people should allow more time for their journeys during these times.
“We’re doing everything we can to minimise disruption, which is why we’re doing it in the middle of the night during the weekend.”
He said the last motorway closures took place in August, and went like clockwork.
State Highway 1 to close
Continued from page 1Twenty years ago Fiona, from
Fiona Haines Dance Academy, put together a show based on the classic fairy tale Pinocchio, and this year’s show is set to be better than ever.
“We are doing a rehash of the very fi rst show I put on, but we are also including ‘To the Circus’ which we have never done before.
“We have strong men, tight-rope walkers, lion tamers and more, and it will be a very full and entertaining show for all ages,” Fiona said.
Students aged three to 18 years from both Karori and Brooklyn Studios are busy preparing for the up-coming production.
Senior students not only get to show off their dance skills but also have to learn how to act and tell a story with body language and mime, Fiona said.
“I am very lucky to have my mother, Katie Haines, on board as she was not only a ballet dancer and teacher but was also a drama and mime tutor so the girls are lucky to have her expertise during rehearsals,” she said.
Fiona said she has had great pleasure in teaching over the past 20 years and has had some

wonderful students.“You form quite a bond with
them when you see them three to four times a week over ten or so years.
“I love it when past students pop in to say hello and fi ll me in on what they are now doing.”
Fiona said her dancers learn many skills throughout their time at the dance academy that are benefi cial in all walks
of life. “Along with the obvious
posture, confi dence and enjoy-ment, comes the skills you get from overcoming nerves from going on stage and sitting exams - dedication, discipline, reliability, time management, punctuality and giving every-thing your all and your best, she said.”
Fiona said this all the hard
work pays off when the danc-ers get to perform in their end of year production.
“Every year we put on a large production which is the highlight for all students.”
‘Pinocchio’ and ‘To the Cir-cus’ will be performed on Sun-day, November 29 at 12pm, 3pm and 6pm in the Memorial Theatre in Kelburn.

Motorists can expect more closures along State Highway 1 next weekend.
T he h ighway be t we en Ngauranga and Thorndon was closed last weekend and will close once again on Saturday 28 and Sunday 29 of November.
The closures will begin at 10pm and the motorway will re-open at 7am on Sunday morning and 5.30am on Mon-day morning. All lanes in both directions will be closed.
Despite the closure, Wel-lington Highway Manager, Neil
Walker said detours would be in place and everyone would be able to get where they wanted to go at all times.
However, he said people should allow more time for their journeys during these times.
“We’re doing everything we can to minimise disruption, which is why we’re doing it in the middle of the night during the weekend.”
He said the last motorway closures took place in August, and went like clockwork.
State Highway 1 to close
Continued from page 1Twenty years ago Fiona, from
Fiona Haines Dance Academy, put together a show based on the classic fairy tale Pinocchio, and this year’s show is set to be better than ever.
“We are doing a rehash of the very fi rst show I put on, but we are also including ‘To the Circus’ which we have never done before.
“We have strong men, tight-rope walkers, lion tamers and more, and it will be a very full and entertaining show for all ages,” Fiona said.
Students aged three to 18 years from both Karori and Brooklyn Studios are busy preparing for the up-coming production.
Senior students not only get to show off their dance skills but also have to learn how to act and tell a story with body language and mime, Fiona said.
“I am very lucky to have my mother, Katie Haines, on board as she was not only a ballet dancer and teacher but was also a drama and mime tutor so the girls are lucky to have her expertise during rehearsals,” she said.
Fiona said she has had great pleasure in teaching over the past 20 years and has had some

wonderful students.“You form quite a bond with
them when you see them three to four times a week over ten or so years.
“I love it when past students pop in to say hello and fi ll me in on what they are now doing.”
Fiona said her dancers learn many skills throughout their time at the dance academy that are benefi cial in all walks
of life. “Along with the obvious
posture, confi dence and enjoy-ment, comes the skills you get from overcoming nerves from going on stage and sitting exams - dedication, discipline, reliability, time management, punctuality and giving every-thing your all and your best, she said.”
Fiona said this all the hard
work pays off when the danc-ers get to perform in their end of year production.
“Every year we put on a large production which is the highlight for all students.”
‘Pinocchio’ and ‘To the Cir-cus’ will be performed on Sun-day, November 29 at 12pm, 3pm and 6pm in the Memorial Theatre in Kelburn.

EYE ON CRIME
Twice a year the Activities Team at Johnsonvale Home organise for residents to go on a trip to a farm. The residents get to visit the kitchen manager’s property where they are sup-plied with a range of nibbles, drinks for morning tea and a delicious lunch, while sitting
soaking up the sun on the deck which has panoramic country side views. The residents also enjoy walking around the beau-tiful surrounding tranquil gar-dens which have a view of the duck pond. A great team of staff and volunteers also go along to assist the needs of the residents.
This day enables all to sit and reminisce in a more personal social atmosphere outside of the rest home. The highlight of the day is interacting with the horses, stroking and feeding them their favourite carrots, which always brings smiles to the resident’s faces.

With winter on the way, the Fire Service is offering all locals an opportunity to make sure they are prepared in the event of a house fi re.
The New Zealand Fire Service is offering all tenants and home owners across the capital a free home fi re safety check, carried out by a member of the fi re service.
The service has been available for two years, but with winter on the way, the fi re service would like to see more people taking advantage of the free check.
Senior fire risk management offi cer and fi re investigator, Peter Fox, has been a member of the fi re service for 37 years.
“We want to offer this service to everybody,” Peter said. “It doesn’t matter whether you’re flatting, renting or own your own property.
“What we like to do is go in and make sure all smoke alarms are working, and depending on the age and when it was last tested, we
will check it and clean it.”As well as this, some homes
were eligible for the installation of a free fi re alarm, Peter said.
He said they were also happy to install smoke alarms in the correct places if they were provided.
“We then go through a home fi re safety check list,” Peter said.
The check list included ensuring power points and multi boards were not overloaded and electric blankets were switched off.
The fi re service also explained to tenants and home owners the risks involved with leaving cooking unattended and encouraged them to make an escape plan in the event of a fi re, Peter said.
“This is a free service, we do not charge for this, but we are not doing enough.
“Ideally we would love to get into everyone’s house to do a home fi re safety check.”
He said all up the inspection took around 15 minutes and could be completed seven-days-a-week and outside of work hours.
What to look out for with winter approaching:Peter said like summer, winter brings its own unique set of � re dangers. As temperatures cooled he said it was important people were mindful of things such as � replaces and chimneys, electric blankets, heaters and clothes dryers and portable LPG gas heaters.
Who to contact:Any of the following � re stations can be contacted to arrange a Home Fire Safety Check. If no one answers, feel free to leave a message and someone will return your call.

A Wellington based long distance run-ning programme is making its way out to the suburbs.
If you can run 5km non-stop at any speed, TempoFit – a six week team train-ing programme could be for you.
The programme which will be starting in Khandallah and Ngaio this month aims to assist runners of all abilities to further develop their skills.
Founded by Hayden Shearman, author of Runners Guide to Wellington, Tempofi t will run with the assistance of Athletics Wellington and the local Olympic athlet-ics club and Athletics New Zealand.
Hayden, who started running at age 25 after he completed his fi rst Wellington Round the Bays 6.5km in 23 minutes, wanted to share his passion.
“We are giving people a bunch of tools that they can go away with,” he said. “Our main goal is to give people a lifetime love of running.”
The three workouts in each week six-week programme are technique and conditioning workout, a speed workout, and a long social and scenic distance run.
The fi rst six week programme in Wel-lington starts the week of March 21.
The course will also include technique development, injury prevention, fi tness tests and speed work, Hayden said.
Can you run the distance?

A Kelburn woman has achieved her ultimate goal of qualifying for an international Ironman champion-ship and will be making her way to Kailua-Kona, Hawaii later this year.
Sierra Ryland achieved an impres-sive feat on March 5, managing to land second place at the New Zealand Ironman triathlon held in Taupo.
The lawyer-meets-athlete com-peted in the 30-34 age group against roughly 40 other competitors.
“It is not a big age group but it is a really competitive one,” she said.
Sierra started endurance training fi ve years ago and recently com-peted in her fourth Ironman.
She had to get through a 3.8 kilometre swim and a 180 kilometre bike ride before fi nally getting to the 42.2 kilometre run.
Sierra came in second place after fi nishing the challenge in 10 hours, 17 minutes and 57 seconds.
“It was a pretty stressful race but it was all worth it,” she said.
Due to her excellent performance in Taupo, Sierra qualifi ed to go to the Ironman World Championships in Kailua-Kona – something she has wanted to go to for a number of years.
“I set up a blog and a facebook page to keep myself motivated.”
Before she goes to ‘Kona’ Sierra will compete in a half Ironman in Australia in September which she said will be a nice lead up to the big event.
The event in Hawaii will com-mence on the morning of October 8 and Sierra will take part in a full Ironman in the heat of the tropical country, including an ocean swim.
Each participant will undergo a five kilometre time trial at the beginning of each season, and another one at the end to assess their improvement.
Running is a simple exercise, Hayden said.
“Regardless of your speed or experi-ence, we are all doing the exact same action – we are putting one foot in front of the other.” For more information about training sessions visit www.tempo� t.co.nz

A Kelburn teen recently landed second place overall in the Wellington Regional Cup Stacking championships – making great practice for the World competition in Germany.
Fifteen-year-old Nathan Carter attend-ed a training camp and the Wellington Championship, both were held at Taita College on March 5.
Nathan’s mum Jo was proud of her son saying “He did well in all three of his individual events”.
Nathan has been stacking for fi ve and a half years and said he is getting better and better at each tournament he goes to.
“I try to train for half an hour every day – some days I train for up to two hours.”
Nathan took part in three individual events and two team events, one of which
involved two stackers completing a stack together using one hand each – also known as a double cycle.
The second team event involved a relay where four stackers each have to run up to the table one by one and complete a stack.
Nathan went to last year’s World Chamionship’s in Montreal, Canada as part of the New Zealand Black Stacks team and said although he made some good times he did not make it through to the fi nals.
“You have to be one of the top ten stackers to make it to the fi nal.”
Nathan said the Black Stacks team will meet as a group for three days in Speichersdorf, Germany before taking part in the competition.
“I will train every day leading up to the competition,” Nathan said.

“It is going to be really hot,” Sierra said.
Sierra said her family, friends and work colleagues have all been very supportive of her going to Kona.
“You can’t just go to Kona, you have to qualify which makes it that much more desirable.”
