The Sound of Music comes to town

Starring in the famous musical, The Sound of Music, will be added to the list of three Wellington girls’ favourite things later this year, when they play members of the Von Trapp family. Ella Robertson from Karori is to play Gretl, while Daisy Maguire from Northland and Sophie Parkinson from Khandallah will share the role of older sister Louisa, when the show comes to Wellington in September.

The news came as a complete shock for the girls. “Me and Mum were crying,” Ella says. The 9-year-old says all her friends at Kelburn Normal School are very excited for her, including her student teacher. Ella has been hard at work learning the script and songs, particularly her favourite song Favourite Things. Sophie’s reaction to the news frightened her older sister. Continued on page 2

Continued from page 1 By Laura Kavanagh “I thought I was home alone and so I screamed – I was very excited to be chosen,” Sophie says. Sophie, 14, from Wellington Girls College, was also in the Annie production, but is more excited about The Sound of Music, having secured a greater role and knowing the story so well. “I’m really excited to meet all the other kids and the rest of the cast,” Sophie says. “I have a big, thick script to

learn, which I admit I have not started yet. “It is all very exciting.” Daisy, 12, from Kelburn Normal School, says she auditioned for the production not expecting to be successful. “I just stared at the email – it was surreal,” Daisy says. She has been dancing all her life, and sings with her family. “Arts is where I would like to head,” she says. Rehearsals start for the girls in mid August, and Daisy is looking forward to working with all the people and

learning a great deal. The much-anticipated London production of The Sound Of Music comes to Wellington’s St James Theatre on September 12 for a strictly limited season before moving to Auckland. Reprising her West End role especially for the New Zealand tour is the UK’s international star Lesley Garrett as the Mother Abbess, while Maria will be played by Bethany Dickson, who is currently performing the role in Johannesburg.

Plans of expansion for Victoria University Plans are on the way to expand the Victoria University Campus’ in Wellington. A new science building on the University’s Kelburn campus is planned, as well as a redevelopment of Rutherford House in central Wellington. On the Kelburn campus, construction of a new building will add to the science precinct at Victoria. The new area will house teaching and research labs for biological science and general teaching facilities. In addition, the university is proceeding with plans for the

construction of an extension to Rutherford House on the university’s Pipitea Campus, supporting the growth of Victoria’s Business School. Chancellor Ian McKinnon says projects, which will cost over $100 million, represented a significant investment in the further development of the university’s facilities to support continuing growth. “These construction projects are part of the university’s commitment to providing a first-class student experience and maintaining Victoria’s reputation as a leader in

teaching and research. “The Rutherford House extension is focused on developing student spaces to enhance the learning and teaching environment. This work is modelled on the very successful Hub construction which has transformed the university’s Kelburn campus.” Chancellor McKinnon says the Council fully supports the campus development plans of the university. “Continued investment in the university’s facilities ensures we have the capacity

and capability to continue to add value to the Wellington economy.” Vice-Chancellor Professor Grant Guilford says the investment in new facilities will help to ensure the university has the right environment to achieve its strategic goals. “These plans give an exciting glimpse into the future of Victoria and its place as New Zealand’s globally ranked capital city university.” Work on both projects is subject to a variety of approvals, but detailed planning work is continuing.

Work progressing on Karori Road retaining wall By Laura Kavanagh Work is continuing on the retaining wall at 181 Karori Road. Those who drive through Karori regularly will have noticed the construction over the last few months near Samuel Marsden College.

The council-owned retaining wall was damaged and is being replaced as part of the Wellington City Council’s on-going programme to upgrade and improve the city’s infrastructure and resilience. Kaivai Andrews from external relations at the Wellington City Council says it is building a

new, higher wall further back from the existing wall, making the existing footpath wider. “To reduce construction time and minimise disruption, concrete panels will be made offsite and installed using a crane.” Kavai says the council initially expected this work to be completed by August, but due to

unforeseen ground conditions, it has changed the anchoring system being installed to better suit the location leading to a four week delay. Once the council know the exact dates of completion, it will contact surrounding schools, immediate neighbours and others who might be affected.

Local writer wins book award By Laura Kavanagh A Wellington writer and editor has won the best first book for fiction in this year’s New Zealand Post Book Awards. Last week Amy Head was announced the winner of the New Zealand Society of Authors (NZSA) Best First Book Award for fiction for her collection of short stories, Tough. She was one of two Victoria University Press (VUP) writers to win an award, with Marty Smith, winning the NZSA Best First Book award for poetry for her first collection, Horse with Hat. Tough came out a year ago, so the award certainly came as a wonderful surprise for Amy. Her collection of short stories is set mainly on the west coast of the South Island and features rugged characters in equally rugged landscapes. Amy’s parents grew up on the west coast and she remembers how her father would tell her stories. She says there is something about the west coast that inspires fiction. “So much of the history of the coast, as well as being jammed full of vivid char-

acters and events, has been about adapting to isolation,” Amy says. “Geography still holds sway, and I wanted the stories to reflect that.” Amy studied English Literature and History in Canterbury, before going to London. O n her ret u r n to New Zealand, she completed a Master’s in Creative Writing at Victoria University’s International Institute of Modern Letters. Director Professor Damien Wilkins, says the prizes will give the two books a great push. “Amy's stories and Marty's poems are particularly tangy pieces of New Zealand literature. Awards also boost a writer's confidence and I'm excited to see what work comes next from two such distinctive and exciting talents.” Amy’s advice for budding new writers is to enjoy the creative process. “And to have an interest and delight in language,” Amy says. The NZSA Best First Book Awards will be presented at the New Zealand Post Book Awards in Wellington on Wednesday, August 27.

inbriefnews Appeal month needs support from locals Heart Kids Wellington needs collectors for its annual appeal next month. As part of the collection, people would only need to spare about two hours to help the organisations appeal, according to secretary Vicky Stevens. The collection will be securing funds to help the organisation’s heart children and their families. Ms Stevens says support is needed with, collectors in areas looking for volunteers to help out. If people are interested in helping in the campaign or want more information, contact Ms Stevens via email: vickystevens53@yahoo.com.

Lest We Go Ashore

Club invites community to dance The Johnsonville Lions Club is inviting the community to attend a dance that will aid local projects. The club’s community dance is set to be held on Saturday, August 2, at the Johnsonville Community Centre Hall on Moorefield Rd. Funds raised from the dance will be donated to the local Lions club. The event is set to run from 8pm to 11.30pm, and a light supper will be provided. For more information and ticket prices, contact Marlene Batten on 478 6491.

and scent, Matthews’ work constr ucts an imagined memory of Aotearoa’s once isolated forests. Matthews’ passion for photographing NZ’s native bush has taken him to some of the most beautiful and remote places in NZ. For this exhibition he’s photographed as far south as Gillespie's Beach, up to north of Westport, and many points in between. None of the photographs are labelled with location information, as Shaun says this does not matter. “As a photographer my primary interest lies in landscape,” Shaun says. “It is hard to escape from our normal perceptions and engage with our forests as living and changing organisms. “I admire their seemingly chaotic nature and the way they are continually regenerating and renewing themselves.”

The sounds and smells of the forest will enter the gallery through recordings and collections from the forest floor. “These are places with long history and much meaning, and I want to capture that in my images.” Shaun Matthews is originally from London, but came to New Zealand in 2002 and fell in love with the country. He graduated earlier this year from Massey University with a Bachelor of Design in Photography, achieving First Class Honours. Shaun says he hopes people who come to his exhibition will stop and reconsider how they feel about nature.  Lest We Go Ashore opens at 5.30pm on Thursday, July 31 at Toi Poneke, 61 Abel Smith Street, Wellington. The exhibition runs from August 1-23 2014.

Netball club volunteers recognised By Dave Crampton St Mary’s Old Girls (SMOG) Netball Club has recently been recognised for demonstrating good practices due to its strong volunteer base, winning $1,000 worth of sporting goods. With 10 teams playing this year, it is one of the oldest – and the largest netball clubs in Wellington. The recognition is part of the ‘Thank a Sport Maker’ campaign; a partnership with the Lotto Volunteer Foundation and Sport New Zealand, which rewards organisations who have grown through the work of its volunteers – or ‘sportmakers’. The application for the grant went smoothly and acceptance was immediate, says club captain Lauren Cournane. “We sent the plan together for approval – and got rung that afternoon,” she says. Cournane cites the strong organisa-

tion among volunteers as one reason SMOG was recognised. “We’re pretty organised – we are really focused on our people. We have a strong group of volunteers.” She says the grant for the gear - including balls, bags, first aid kits and cones - is a welcome addition to the club. “It’s huge,” she says. “It’s so hard to get gear and its getting hard to get funding.” Jamie Milne, Sport Development Advisor from Sport Wellington, says the recognition was possible due to the work of club’s volunteers. “The club is able to achieve this through identifying volunteerism and workforce management as one of their key strategic challenges.” SMOG netball club is midway through a successful season on the court, with several national age group and international netball players playing for both the club and other representative teams.

With lots of new exhibitors and giveaways it’s a great day out for the girls. There is something for everyone this year.

Karori finalist in WOW By Laura Kavanagh

Trees planted around Wellington The Rotary Club of Wellington has been busy over the past few months, planting trees all around the Wellington region. Once a year the club undertakes the annual tree planting project with around 2500 planted each year. Despite the success of the project, club officials are keen to get more people involved ahead of the final planting weekend this season. The final event will be held on July 26 from 9.30am, and volunteers are encouraged to meet Rotary club members at Pirie St above the playground in Mt Victoria. Members have a goal to plant 10,000 trees each year, and while this is doable, Rotarian Jennifer Little says the club needs to make sure it has enough volunteers. For more information or to get involved, contact Ms Little on 021 611 416.

A Karori resident has been recently named as a finalist for the World of Wearable Arts Show (WOW). Jenni Carlton found out she was a finalist for the Wellington event just last week, much to her excitement and relief. “It was a relief because of all the effort in putting it all together,” Jenni says. This is the fifth year Jenni has entered WOW having success in becoming a finalist multiple times. She says the event is always surprising for her, despite making the design herself. “It is quite exciting to see what it looks like on stage,” Jenni says. “They play with the garments quite well.” Jenni created a piece last year called Spirit of the Tree, using paper mache with a silk dress dyed in oak, and she says the model really brought it to life on stage. This year Jenni has entered two designs into WOW, but any details about the creations have to be kept secret until the night. Her piece this year took her about two months to create, but the planning itself takes much longer. She loves entering WOW because it offers “limitless possibilities” for the designer. “You can come up with anything you want, and the piece can tell the story,” Jenni says. “Where else can you do that?”

Glenside takes aim at becoming a predator free community By Laura Kavanagh

Eden Growcott picks the only apple from the community tree outside her home. PHOTO SUPPLIED.

The Glenside community is coming together to attempt to become a predator free area. The Glenside progressive association are one of four potential communities vying for a $5,000 grant towards child and pet friendly traps, and to take part in a scientific trial to determine whether predator free areas can be developed in places that do

not have rigidly defined perimeters. Rats are particularly an issue along the streamside, and; stoats prey on properties that keep chooks. The culmination of these pests are a threat to native bird life and bush regeneration. Project leader and resident Al Brown is an experienced trapper and says he has had overwhelming support from within the community, but as a population base Glenside

is small, and needs backing from neighbouring communities. “Any improvements we make we think will make a positive impact on the overall reduction of predators in the region,”Al says. “I’ve lived in Glenside 26 years and have watched a decline in bird numbers, so we are very passionate to reverse this decline.” He is hoping this time next year, the Glenside community will already

Wellingtonians will have a chance to have their opinions heard over the next two weeks. Wellington City Councillor Iona Pannett is holding caffeine clinics in cafes all over Wellington to allow the public to have a say on how the city should spend your money for the next 10 years. “It’s cold outside, but will be warm inside some of Wellington’s best cafes,” Iona says. “No excuse not to join in as the coffee is on me.” She says the idea was to meet in a pleasant setting to throw some ideas around and find out what people’s priorities are. “Wellington is at a crossroads, big decisions need to be made as the city develops its ten year budget,” Iona says. “Whether you want an airport extension, a Living Wage for all,

action on environmental issues or more spending on libraries, the arts and sport, come and have a chat.” Iona is keen to hear your feedback, and coffee is on her.

SILENT MOVIE: The Wellington Cathedral of St Paul will be transformed this Saturday. PHOTO SUPPLIED.

By Laura Kavanagh Wellington Cathedral of St Paul will be transformed this Saturday into the murky depths of the Paris Opera House, when musician Barry Brinson accompanies the silent film The Phantom of the Opera on the Cathedral organ. The film showing is part of the featured events in this year’s Cathedral Jubilee Festival, celebrating 50 years on the Molesworth site in Thorndon. Organist and Jazz pianist Barry will be presenting the 1929 version of the original 1925 movie starring the legendary Lon Chaney as the Phantom. “It’s a terrific movie to accompany” Barry says. “About as far away from the glitzy Lloyd Webber production

as it’s possible to get.” The film is set in the Paris Opera House in 1870, around a performance of Gounod’s Faust which received its first performance there in 1868. To accompany the movie, extracts from the Faust orchestral score are used – some great “set pieces” such as the ballet music which precedes Act V. Three of the soprano arias featured in the film will be sung live by Wellington soprano Hannah Catrin Jones, to create further dramatic highlights. Cathedral director of Music Michael Stewart says he is delighted to welcome Barry to the organ for what promises to be memorable evening. “This will be a fantastic display of skill and an incredible way to help celebrate the Cathedral’s fiftieth

Lego fun in the holidays

the chance to explore their creative side using provided Lego pieces, with daily prizes for the best creations. It has been a popular activity these holidays, with around 50 estimated children taking part most days. Will Rivett, who has been running the programme, thinks it is

great there is a place for children to be creative while having fun in the school holidays with other children. The Lego Building Programme was previously held at the Toyworld store in Johnsonville across the road, but Will says the area allocated at the shopping centre is “a lot more spacious”

for children to build and create things with Lego. Mother of three young boys, Helen Jenkins says, “It is a nice and fun activity when the weather is rubbish.” Gra ndmother Gill Foster brought along her two grandchildren, and enjoyed watching them play with the other

children. “They have Lego at home, but it is nice to interact with other children and allow them to be creative,” Gill says. “It is a fun activity on a cold rainy day like today.” The programme was run from 11am to 2pm from Monday, July 14 to 18.

SOCIAL BOWLING: A group of the Rotarians have started meeting regularly for a spot of bowling in Khandallah. PHOTO CREDIT: LAURA KAVANAGH.

Gender equality at Khandallah Bowling Club By Laura Kavanagh Khandallah Bowling Club has taken an important step in encouraging more women to join by supporting gender equality. At the club's annual general meeting earlier this year a resolution was passed to enable women to join men with equal rights to play in open competition within the club. The recent change in club policy ensures total gender equality. Member Trevor Smith says while mixed play at a social level has been an increasing part of the bowls scene as membership has declined, this declaration is believed to be unique in New Zealand, and possibly even in the Australasian scene. Trevor proposed a similar motion last year but as agreement could not be reached, the last of the club’s female numbers moved to other venues.

“Lack of competition in womens only events as a consequence of declining numbers lead to this ultimate collapse,” Trevor says. Currently Khandallah Bowling Club has no female members. Trevor hopes the change in club policy will encourage female members to return to the club and provide an incentive to encourage new player recruitment. Other initiatives to encourage new membership include social bowling during the week. Started by a group of Rotarians, lead by Ross George and Alan Fraser some three years ago, the group meets regularly on Tuesdays and Fridays, with a start at 9.30 am. While members of Rotary continue to join, it is not an exclusive qualification as new players come from all over, some with bowling experience but also many beginners with just a desire to enjoy bowling.

KARORI

NEW WORLD Meet the Karori New World team New owners of New World Karori Andrew and Natalie Summerville are proud to have taken on all existing staff, some of whom have become very familiar faces to the Karori community. The Karori New World team is bigger than you might think, with almost 70 part time and full time staff working hard to meet every customer’s need. For Andrew and the New World Karori team, customer service is paramount. “It is about finding out what the customer wants and doing the best you can to make it possible,” Andrew says. For example, Andrew has added over 30 new products to the store from customer requests. “We may not be able to have every product but we will certainly try to cater for everyone’s needs as best we can” Andrew says. Andrew is proud to say his staff always prioritise the customer. “We are fortunate to have excellent staff, who are providing great customer service.” The New World Karori team is trained in all aspects of customer service, so they can swap from stacking shelves to helping out with customer queries. “This means all staff have a thorough understanding of the products and services we offer,” Andrew says. Produce manager Charlie Wong says the most important part of his job is

Joel Pearson Butchery Manager

customer satisfaction and listening to customer feedback. Charlie has just celebrated his 11 year anniversary at New World Karori, and he says the best part is working with the people. “Serving the people both young and old and seeing the customer smile,” Charlie says. He has a great deal of experience in the grocery industry, and he strives to provide quality freshness, at great prices. A unique aspect of New World Karori is its butchery with three qualified butchers, supported by the rest of the butchery team. The butchers prepare fresh cuts daily in-store and are dedicated to sourcing only the best quality meat available. . Butchery manager Joel Pearson has been in the business for 14 years, and loves his job. He says the Karori community knows what they want, and he strives to give advice and tips when he can. “ At the end of the day, it is about the presentation and quality of the

cut, to give the customer the best choice and what they want,” Joel says. The team are always happy to do a special cut on request, just ask in-store. Andrew wants the Karori community to know that New World Karori is their store and wants to hear what they want. “I don’t want people to think of it as Andrew’s store but Karori’s store,” Andrew says. Andrew and the team love to hear feedback from the community to help themselves improve and provide the best experience they can. Grocery Manager Michael Beyer says he has got to know a lot of the Karori community over the years, from working at New World Karori. He says apart from keeping the shelves full at New World Karori, the most important part of his job is customer service and meeting the needs of everyone who walks through the door. To me the rest of the awesome team simply come in and see for yourself. There is no better time to start than this week, with the “New Owners Specials Week” running from the 21st – 27th. For the whole week there are great weekly specials as well as “one day” only specials across the departments.

WINTER

Teacher performs one woman show By Laura Kavanagh A Churton Park drama teacher is shaking up a well loved fairy tale for Wellington audiences next month. Deborah Eve Rea will be performing her self written solo play Take Back The Hood at BATS theatre from August 19-23. Take Back The Hood is a one-woman, adults only, modern retelling of Little Red Riding Hood in which an older Red explores, reclaims and liberates her “story”. Armed with a keyboard, a microphone ,and a metaphor, Red pokes fun and stirs thought on New Zealand and Fairy-tale politics. Deborah says the moral of the fairy tale put the responsibility on the victim of the tale, little red riding hood. “We are brought up in a culture, where we tell our kids this message before they go to bed,” Deborah says. The show is solely created and performed by Deborah Eve Rea, who is currently on the big screen in Indie film Jake and The Inheritance, which is showing in

the International Film Festival. She appears regularly in Wellington theatre and on television, and is the founder and teacher of Wonderplay drama classes in Island bay and Churton Park and has written and directed their big show, Heebie Jeebies, coming up in September. In 2013, Take Back The Hood was nominated for Best Solo Show and Best Marketing, but was originally staged for 20 minutes for Deborah’s Toi Whakaari Go Solo project in 2012. “I love it, it’s a funny show for me because I have to let go, and let Red’s character take control,” Deborah says.

The Onslow Probus club would like to invite the local community to consider joining the club. A group of retired or semi-retired professionals based in Onslow, the group meet and socialise together to keep active, expand interests, and enjoy friendship. There are many branches of Probus within the local area and also throughout New Zealand. The group meet every month to listen to a guest speaker, but it also has subsidery groups for members to enjoy, including a dining group, a luncheon group, and even a music group. Members even take an annual trip away together. Current Onslow president Frances Moles says the group also provides social support for each other. “It is about being part of a community, and getting to know your neighbours,” Frances says. She says the group is looking for new members, who might enjoy the ac-

Meet Jacinta – Barnardos KidStart

PORSE In-Home Childcare – Wiring up for life How a baby’s brain is wired up in the first three years of life, is critical for helping them on a positive journey to build lifetime success and a lifetime of loving relationships. PORSE Managing Director Jenny Yule says science has shown that the first three years is when a child’s brain is at its most critical stage of influence and development. “More parents are choosing in-home childcare because they value the oneon-one care children receive. They form secure attachment relationships with their educators or nannies in a settled home environment where natural play and learning can occur,” Ms Yule said. PORSE in-home educators are supported with free nationally accredited training

and certification programmes designed to help adults understand more about secure attachment relationships. PORSE Wellington Consultant Andrea Tindle says the local PORSE office can tailor affordable childcare to suit families’ budgets and lifestyles with the ability to utilise subsidies. PORSE also organises a variety of activities for children and their educators which promote friendship and fun, role modeling, observation, reflection of practices, confidence and sharing of information, resources and knowledge. For more details on how you can give your children the best start in life, by wiring-up with PORSE – phone 04 801 6814 or visit www.PORSE.co.nz

Looking for childcare?

Hi, my name is Jacinta Laualu and I am a Barnardos KidStart Childcare Consultant for Wellington. I love my job and I am really excited about having this opportunity to introduce and promote Barnardos KidStart Childcare home-based services. My story starts as a mum working and juggling childcare through daycares and kindy’s until my youngest child was born. It all got too complicated, so I had to put my thinking cap on to how I could have the best of both worlds - earning an income and being home with my family. When I enquired about becoming an educator with the Barnardos, their staff were so helpful and supported me in getting up and running. It worked out perfectly for my family and I was able to have a wonderful experience of helping other families in the same position as I was. I learnt so much through the guidance of the Barnardos staff and it was so rewarding providing care and education to other children. Being an educator also allowed me to have flexible hours and the choice of the families I could work with, which all of them were so lovely and we still stay in touch. Plus Barnardos is aligned with my values by having a genuine concern and interest in the wellbeing of all children and their families. Which I am now proud to be promoting. It is great to be getting involved in my local community where I was raised, surrounded by my family and friends. Now I have the

opportunity to pay this wonderful experience forward to other families through finding that perfect home away from home childcare fit for them. I understand how overwhelming it can be with all the childcare options available, but given the chance I would love you to find the perfect educator match to capture your family needs. If the circumstance fits we are here to help mums become educators setting themselves up so they are able to work from the comforts of their own home, where they will provide care and education incorporating Barnardos KidStart Childcare’s philosophy of learn, play, and grow. If you are looking for childcare or thinking about becoming an e ducator and running your own business from your home, we may have the perfect opportunity for you. Give me a call as I would love to help you with your childcare journey. Call 0800 KIDSTART today.

Work from Home Become an Educator today! As a Barnardos KidStart Childcare Educator, we guarantee no day will ever be the same. Every minute of your day will be so rewarding as you help children learn, play and grow. You will care for and educate children from birth to five years of age in your own home, plus we will provide all the training and support you need. We are looking for new educators to join our friendly, experienced and supportive team. Barnardos, trusted in your community for over 40 years.

KEEP IT LOCAL Low back pain - is it just about core strength? A com mon assu mpt ion among health professionals managing low back pain is that you need to improve your core strength and your low back pain will disappear. Let’s take a look at what we know about low back pain and where core strength may fit into this paradigm. Firstly we know the disc is the most common source of pain. The disc is a structure designed to absorb pressure and a healthy disc is mostly composed of water. Unfortunately once the disc becomes injured it loses water and loses the ability to absorb pressure. Generally the more damaged a disc the less it is able to absorb pressure. As health practitioners we know that many people develop pain with increasing disc pressure such as when sitting, bending over, heavy lifting, twisting, coughing and sneezing. Therefore the amount of low back pain depends on the structural integrity of the disc as well as the pressure applied to the disc. Low back pain is often experienced secondary to electrical signals generated in the disc/vertebral body region and transmitted through the central nervous system to the brain. People vary in terms of how they process electrical signals in the brain. People with migraine pro-

duce more electricity in the brain due to having slight differences in electrical channels. These differences increase electrical impulses in the brain hence people with migraine are more sensitive to pain, light, touch and smell. Another factor that influences the amount of electricity produced in the brain is stress chemicals such as adrenaline. When released in the brain these open electrical channels producing more electricity. Pain, stress and poor sleep increase stress chemicals in the brain. Therefore the intensity of pain experienced within the brain depends on a persons’ pain sensitivity, which is driven mostly by the presence of migraine and stress chemicals. Putting the above together, the intensity of pain experienced from the low back depends on the extent of disc damage, the pressure placed on the disc as well as factors that increase a persons’ pain sensitivity - namely migraine and stress chemicals. The fact is I see more thin people than obese people with low back pain at work and core strength is only one of five factors determining the experience of low back pain. Improving core strength by performing exercises that do not cause pain, will prevent recurrences once the other factors have been addressed.

A CARING HOME FOR ELDERLY PEOPLE

The above scan shows a person who experienced low back pain for over ten years. The two bottom discs are narrowed, dehydrated and causing a reaction at the bones adjacent to the disc. Dr Giresh Kanji is a Musculoskeletal Pain Specialist working in Wellington. He is the chairman of the NZ Pain Foundation formed in 2013. The foundation is currently funding studies on self treatments for low back pain, neck pain, migraine and depression.

The burglars smashed the glass in a metal door but attempts to reach in an unlock it were frustrated as it could only be opened with a key. The power to the property had been cut off at the power box at the side of the house. Wilful damage was done to premises in Burgess Road, where the exterior has been daubed in paint. In Churton Park, an attempt was made to force an entry to a school, where a wire reinforced window of a classroom was smashed. There does not appear to have been any actual entry.

The house was extensively searched and a Play Station 2, and New Zealand and Dutch passports were stolen.

The Mystique of Molesworth By Laura Kavanagh Ngaio resident and award winning journalist Harry Broad will be speaking this evening in Khandallah. Harry will be recounting the story of New Zealand’s largest high-country station in a presentation of his book Molesworth at Onslow Community Church. Hear how this ruined landscape was gradually redeemed to become a profitable piece of land under the stewardship of Bill Chisholm. Molesworth is very much a

working farm which covers an area greater than Stewart Island. Now part of the conservation estate, this unique environment is able to be enjoyed by the public during the summer months. Harry will make copies of his hardback book Molesworth available at the special price of $50.

SPORT

Local canoe champion By Dave Crampton Kurtis Imrie is one of the world’s top junior paddlers after coming fifth in the A final of the Junior Men’s K1 1000 at the ICF Junior Canoe Sprint World Championships in Hungary recently. Imrie, 18, from Newlands, raced out to an early lead, but was soon matched by the other paddlers. But it was a superb performance, clocking 3:35.705, just 3.5 seconds off winner, Artuur Peters from Belgium. There was some drama when the comfortable leader at the 750m mark, Czecho-

slovakia’s Tomas Vesely, capsized. Imrie’s time was 12 seconds faster than his time at the Oceania Championships in Australia five months ago when he won the K1 1000 title in 3:47.68. Imrie was the only Kiwi to reach an A final, coming third in both his heat and his semi –final, with a smashing time of 3:34.66. Imrie had to get a top two placing to cement his place in the Afinal – and did so right up to the 750m mark,. However, in the last 250m Austria's Christoph Kornfeind put on a burst of speed

to overtake. This meant that Imrie had to get the fastest third place- and he did so by just 0.004 seconds 1.116 seconds behind Kornfeind, who came seventh in the A final. Imrie also came seventh in the B-final of the Junior Men’s K4 1000m (with Quaid Thompson, Taris Harker, and Toby Brooke), after coming fifth in their heat. His sister, Kayla Imrie, currently living in Auckland, also won an event - the K1 200m Cfinal in the u23 division. The championships finished on Sunday.

Cricketers selected for junior world cup

Johnsonville step up for comfortable win By Dan Whitfield

By Dave Crampton Three young Johnsonville cricketers may be winging their way to the Gold Coast next year after they were selected for the Junior World Cup in 2015. A third of the squad were from Johnsonville and Tawa. Reece Edgecombe, Devan Vishvaka and Kayden Muller, from the Johnsonville club, all caught the selector’s eyes at the National Indoor Cricket Championships, held at the Hutt Indoor Sports Centre in Seaview in the weekend. The boys were in the Wellington team at the champs, which was also the qualifying tournament for national selection. Reece, a Newlands College bowler, who also represented New Zealand in the u13 says the highlight of the weekend was his selection. The lifelong cricketer is confident he will make the u16

The Johnsonville weight-restricted under 85kg rugby team came to its senses this week, stepping up against Paremata-Plimmerton to win 34-5 on Saturday. The team’s Eddie Rakanui says good numbers and a good session at training set the team up for a strong performance. Despite Johsonville losing to the Plimmerton-based team during the first round, a completely different story was told over the weekend, with the team standing its ground, claiming victory. Johnsonville dominated both halves with strong attacking plays, including a try within the first five minutes after kick off. The Super loans-sponsored Johnsonville team are set to play Avalon in its next game, but a team-sponsors day will see it postponed for another week. In other results, the Johnsonville premiers lost to Wellington, 13- 24. This result means the end of the season for the premier side, and the

Gold Coast trip. I hope so,” he says. “I’ve played pretty much my whole life,”he says. Cricketers competed in three age categories - u13, u15 and u17. Playing for the Wellington u15 team, the trio made the initial cut for the u16 na-

tional selection which will be whittled down to 12 for the competition next year. Coach Robbie Kerr says his team came out victorious, winning the competition. “Everyone played really well. We were pretty dominant, actually, there were no close finishes,” he says.
