Dainty treats, tasty teas and Grandma’s white ware – a new high tea venue has opened in Kilbirnie. The Little Teapot, on Coutts Street, was opened last week by local cafe owner Nicole Lyons. “It’s something different that I think Kilbirnie needed,” Nicole says. “It’s not a normal café.” She says she was inspired to open the new venue because she enjoys going for high tea with friends and likes the pretty food. “I want to bring the smaller foods back so people can do afternoon and morning teas.” Nicole, who also owns the Carlton Café, says all the baking is home made. “I love baking,” she says. “I kind of zone out. I’m in my zone when I bake.”

“From a young age I did baking with my aunty and other family members. “I have got my grandparent’s recipes.” Nicole’s great-grandmother also helped to spark her interest in pretty tea cups and fine china. “I remember her pulling them out on special occasions with her friends,” Nicole says. “I want to make it a bit more old school.” While Nicole says the Little Teapot is a massive risk, the Kilbirnie resident says she hopes it pays off. Nicole says there are 13 different types of tea on the menu which are all brewed fresh from tea leaves. HIGH TEA: Mon, the manager of the Little Teapot in Kilbirnie, tests her tea pouring skills.

The largest circulating newspaper in Wellington Southern and Eastern suburbs.

Continued from page 1 By Sam Duff “It’s an opportunity for us to get out and help in the community,” he says. “It’s a fun day.” “It’s nice to see everybody getting involved.” “It’s good to ditch the office. By and large the bank gets out and about around the country.” There are about 5,500 BNZ staff nationwide and of those about 4,000 participated in community projects around the country, Brian says. Local Police, parking wardens and even a group of 20 students from Rongotai College gave the BNZ staff a hand. Bunning’s Warehouse pitched in with paint and supplies while Placemakers supplied a barbeque and Lyall Bay Bowling Club let more than 60 volunteers use their facilities. Jane Hill from Wellington City Council says the day was a great opportunity for the different groups to get together and help out in the community. “It was an opportunity to link up together which has been hugely effective,” Jane says. “Particularly when you see the result.”

A love of art has led to a Hataitai author winning the top prize at the New Zealand Post Book Award. Jill Trevelyan, who works at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade during the day, says she was completely overwhelmed when she won book of the year. “It was a shock,” Jill says. “I still can’t believe it to be honest.” Dinner at the Beijing restaurant in Newtown was how Jill says she celebrated with family. Jill says she spent hours trawling through the archives to put together her book, Peter McLeavey: The Life and Times of a New Zealand Art Dealer. Peter McLeavey has been an art dealer in Wellington in the same shop on Cuba St reet since 1966. “It’s pretty remarkable,” Jill says. “He has seen some

pretty amazing changes in that time.” “I have always been interested in art and I have always gone to Peter’s gallery since I arrived in Wellington in the 1980s.” As well as taking out the book of the year award Jill also won the general non-fiction section. Jill, who has previously penned a biography on Rita Angus, says people need to celebrate the artists that Peter has featured in his gallery since he set up shop. “In those days contemporary New Zealand art was like an underground activity,” she says. Jill’s publishers Te Papa Press did a great job helping put the picture together, she says. “They’re just the most wonderful team.” BIG WINNER: Hataitai author Jill Trevelyan has won the New Zealand Post Book of the Year award.

BIG SMILES: Edison Robinson, 4, displays a thank you picture she made for the nice stranger who gave her art supplies last week.

By Georgia Forrester A very generous gift giver dropped a present into the Cook Strait News office for young artist Edison Robinson. Four year old Edison’s drawings are being sold to raise money for orphaned children in Thailand and Burma. The gift-giver, who wishes to remain anonymous, says he is a big softie where kids are concerned. “I like doing things to appreciate people’s hard work,” he says. Edison was given a sketchbook, new drawing paper and a $50 warehouse stationary card which she says will go towards lots of new sparkly glitter pens. “I want to say hello, thank you for all my presents and give you a big cuddle,” Edison says. “I will use the voucher thingy to buy so many making stuff to sell to people to help the children with no Mummies and Daddies.”

Change came to Wexford Hill last week as Wellington’s infamous replica of the Hollywood sign had a makeover. It is out with the V for Vellington and in with the WOW for Wowington to celebrate the annual World of Wearable Art Awards Shows being held this month. A large crane was used to remove the old V and install the new three-metre-high characters. Greg Thomas from Wellington Airport says the change to the sign was a joint effort between the airport and WOW, which was six weeks in the making. “The airport is a partner of

Architect Bruce Welsh says "the process is not focused on repairing houses and getting people back to a normal life. We need a better system and leadership."

Jean travels back to India

Help! Wellington Curtain Bank urgently needs more curtains

By Sam Duff In 1984 Jean Watson made her first trip to India with a friend – now 30 years later she is again preparing to make her annual journey to check on the orphanage she helped to start. “India was my first big overseas trip to somewhere where I didn’t know the language and it was quite different,” Jean says. “I went with Joy Cowley. She wanted to go and wanted someone to go with her.” Jean, who spends three months each year in India, says she had a feeling she needed to go back several years later. “I was very interested,” she says. “It has a certain appeal to some people.” In 1987 Jean opened an orphanage, the Illam, along with several other to help local children. “It was a sort of creative idea really,” she says. “I thought we would start with 10 children and I thought they should have a chance for an education.” Jean says the orphanage kept growing after it was opened and

Do not replace Needle GETTING AROUND: A cyclist in Kilbirnie shows you do not need to wear Lycra to be a safe cyclist. PHOTO CREDIT: Sam Duff

Dear Ed, I think that the Needle should not be replaced as it may be struck by lightning again. Deirdre Parkes, Hataitai

Creeping Yank-talk

No Lycra, please Dear Ed, firstly I don't think anyone over a certain age should wear Lycra (Aug 25), certainly not on a bike! Biking has become a bit of an obsession lately probably due to low cost and fitness issues. However those of us who walk in a group, with a partner, a dog or to work are just as fit and are also saving money. Cars are here to stay however they are powered and hopefully one day we can all afford a battery charged one. In the meantime here are my suggestions so walkers, car drivers and bikers can co-exist. Firstly, bikes should be registered. I think a $100 registration fee to the local council each year would

be fair. Cyclists could even get their bikes micro chipped like dog owners have to! Secondly, the council should identify where bikes lanes are not possible i.e. narrow hilly suburban roads that share their roads with buses and parked or moving cars and have no footpaths. Thirdly, most motorists I encounter are happy to share their space with others but it's not easy in Wellington and I feel cyclists take the moral high ground far too often. They do not have a monopoly on our roads and it will take some time to work it all out. It's a recent phenomenon and needs patience from us all and the above may assist. Janet Weir, Melrose (abridged)

Dear Ed, though I was pleased to read (Sep 1) about a fellow-septuagenarian who, as a pianist, now entertains people at Wellington Hospital, I was irked to see you state that he ‘plays piano’ for them. That's creeping Yanktalk once more. The amiable gentleman plays THE piano, in our English! Actually, to say anyone plays piano is to say he/she plays ANY instrument softly, as ‘piano’ means soft or low in Italian, when used as a musical direction. In that context, it is pronounced ‘pee-ahno’, but in English we correctly pronounce the

Candidates You decide 2014: Rongotai Electorate The Cook Strait News contacted the ten candidates contesting the Rongotai E l e c t o ra t e a t the election and gave them the opportunity to tell the voters what they are all about.

Inquiry needs to be looked at Dear Ed, the inquiry into the Basin Reserve flyover was an interesting exercise. Obviously most Wellingtonians supported the project as another step towards a second Mount Victoria tunnel and widening of Ruahine Street. The Council support an extension to Wellington Airport’s runway and are putting up something in the order of $1 million while the Airport Company is telling us it is not economically viable. Which airline is even remotely interested in operating long haul services into Wellington?

provide us with an excellent public train and bus service, which costs us ratepayers dearly, but we accept this. These services need our support or subsidies will continue to creep upwards. To now consider spending millions of dollars on cycle ways to take patronage off these services is madness. The government have committed many millions of dollars for cycle ways throughout the country. By travelling on public transport we are already reducing car usage and reducing parking issues and to spend money to effectively reduce patronage on these services is a huge waste of ratepayer’s money.

Aaron Carter, Climate Party New Zealand’s newly formed Climate Party aims to make addressing climate change an urgent priority. It is well understood that climate change poses a threat to our whole way of life, and to our ability to live on this planet. To hold this threat at a manageable level of two degrees of warming above pre-industrial levels, as world leaders have agreed, scientists tell us that global emissions must drop to 40 to 70 per cent below 2010 levels by 2050, and to near zero by 2100. Despite this, our emissions are increasing, and are projected to

keyboard instrument's name in an anglicised way. I remember a dapper, good looking, young secondary school music-master, really up himself, who wrongly called the instrument ‘the pee-ah-no’, back in 1950. More about trendy Americanese expressions, why speak of ‘comfort food’? All food that we find satisfying, sustaining, and tasty could be called by that phrase, unless you mean that it's what self-indulgent people, when anxious, stuff into themselves! H Westfold, Miramar

Maurice Roberts, Miramar “A superhero and to fly. Batman always appeals, it must be the cape.”

keep doing so until at least 2030. We need to take urgent and effective action to reduce our emissions, instead of sitting on the fence. Doing so will be a win-win because it will also create more jobs, reduce the $7 billion a year we spend on importing fossil fuels, and restore our clean green image.

For the past 18 years I have represented the Rongotai Electorate, since its formation under MMP boundaries in 1996. In that time I have developed strong relationships and connections with people from all walks of life living in the eastern and southern suburbs of Wellington. I believe a local MP has to be involved and interested in their community. I'm seeking your support to continue as your representative. But I can do better. I also want to be part of a Labour led government prepared to form a strong coalition with other progressive parties to build a fairer more open NZ.

Where politics are not driven by secret deals, vested interests and the size of a person’s wallet. People in Rongotai tell me the real issues that matter to them are jobs with decent pay, their families and affordable, warm, dry homes. Those are the issues we are fighting the election on and with Party Vote Labour will be our priorities.

NZ First will take GST off food and rates, ban the sale of farms to foreign interests, expand the export base and help create more jobs and higher wages. Lift the minimum wage to $17hr. A vote for NZ First is a vote for common sense.

National’s commitment to investment in infrastructure and policies promoting growth and jobs across the country are evident throughout the electorate. We have ensured the future of the screen production industry in New Zealand and in Rongotai by facing down Australian-run unions and putting in place smarter incentives to build local talent and intellectual property. We have also provided smart economic man-

So now, with the end of the world as we know it looming large before us, I’m devoting my twilight years to paving the way for our coming of age as a trail blazing, model ‘sustainable nation’, which I believe, is New Zealand’s true, visionary destiny.

As a young man he was a member of the territorial force and has travelled widely overseas. Was part of an agricultural exchange programme (1984-85). Has been involved in the union movement for more than 20 years and is a strong believer in worker’s rights. Brent’s involvement with NZ First dates back to the 1996 election. After returning from Chile in 2009 he re-joined NZ First and helped organise the Wellington electorates.

Relieving Indigestion & Heartburn Who hasn’t suffered from indigestion and heartburn, especially after overdoing it with food or drink, or when rushing meals? For some of us, indigestion and heartburn happens for other reasons and can cause considerable discomfort. It’s good to know help is available from your pharmacist. With indigestion (or dyspepsia), we can feel sick and experience gas, or a bloated feeling, in the stomach. “Indigestion causes discomfort and pain in the area between your ribs and belly button, and occurs during eating, or immediately after” advise Self Care pharmacists. A common symptom of indigestion is

heartburn, where there is a burning feeling rising upwards from the stomach towards the throat. The acid contents of the stomach return, or ‘reflux’, back into the oesophagus (the space between the throat and the stomach, which is shaped like a tube) and causes irritation there. Indigestion and heartburn can be caused by: • Foods such as cabbage, onions, cucumber, curries and chocolate. • Certain drinks, e.g. alcohol, fizzy drinks, strong coffee and tea. • Eating food too fast; eating fatty or large meals, especially late at night. • Stress and anxiety, smoking, bending and stooping, being overweight. • Pregnancy • Certain medicines – such as aspirin and other anti-inflammatory medicines for pain and arthritis. Try to identify the cause of your indigestion or heartburn and if possible avoid these things. If the medicines you take give you symptoms, let your pharmacist or doctor know. Sometimes taking food at the same time as you take your medicines can help. Remember to take your medicines with a glass of water, while sitting or standing upright. According to Self Care pharmacists, “there are changes you

can make to help prevent or reduce symptoms of indigestion and heartburn. They include stopping smoking (see the Quit Smoking fact card); avoiding rich, spicy, fatty foods, and large meals late in the day, and eating smaller meals; having plenty of physical activity – at least 30 minutes most days; losing weight if you are overweight (see the Weight and Health fact card) and learning to relax and sleep well (See the Sleeping Well fact card).” Sometimes focusing on lifestyle changes may be all that is needed to stop indigestion and heartburn. If medicines are required, your pharmacy has a wide range of products available for the shortterm relief of heartburn and indigestion symptoms. “We can assist you in selecting the one that is best for your situation”, advise Self Care pharmacists. Antacids neutralise excess acid in the stomach. They can provide quick and effective relief but their effects don’t last long. Reflux symptoms can be relieved by medicines called alginates that form a ‘raft’ on top of your stomach contents, helping to prevent them being regurgitated. Where these medicines do not help, or symptoms are experienced as often as two or more times per week, other medicines may be required that decrease the amount of acid made

Shake-down on the d-floor By Sam Duff Boom, shake, thrust those hips and time for a warm down – the children of Houghton Valley Playcentre had a good work out last week when they took part in the worldwide Zumba craze. Kathryn Hunt from the Playcentre says they are trying to keep the children active. “We want to give them different ways to keep active,” she says. “We didn’t know how they would respond but some of those children were really into it.” Zumba instructor Natasha Macaulay says it can help with co-ordination and it is fun. “It just burns a lot of energy, let’s face it,” NataDANCE OFF: The children of Houghton Valley sha says. “The children followed really well.” Playcentre enjoyed having a go at Zumba last week.

As sweat was wiped from foreheads and the finishing touches were made, hospitality students from Rongotai College began to wonder who in the kitchen had created the prize winning sandwich. Students from years 11 to 13 last week took part in the college’s first annual My Sandwich Rules competition, a take on popular reality TV show My Kitchen Rules. Hospitality teacher Nick Darling says the competition was just a fun way to emphasis healthy eating, something the students have been working on all year. “Being an all boy’s school, I thought “why not have a competition?” he says. “There’s a lot of amazing techniques and they’re using some great flavours.” Nick says the competition is a good way for the boys to work in teams and learn by doing things rather than through text books. “The boys love to cook,” he says. “They also learn from their mistakes which is the best way of learning.”

Bacon, salami and chicken with home-made marinates were just a few of the ingredients used by the six teams. The winners of the competition will be announced at the end of the term when they are presented with a chef’s jacket with their name on it.

Danny, Sandy and the gang from Rydell High will be donning their leather jackets and frilly dresses when they head to St Mark’s Church School in Mount Cook next week. About 60 year seven and eight pupils from the school have stayed out of the milk bar and spent weeks singing, dancing and gaining some of that 50s era attitude to take part in a production of the famous musical–Grease. Director Dylan Longley says different teams of students, from marketing to costumes and makeup, have been set-up to work on the show. “We’re just getting them to do as much of the play as possible,” Dylan says. “They had to find out about characters and costumes and do their own research. “It’s been a big effort. It’s been a big challenge to get everybody together at the same time.” he says. Dylan says the production is just one of six that St Marks is currently working on with about 220 students. “We have a really strong music department,” he says.

SPORT

Parafed hits the slopes Members of Parafed Wellington will hit the ski slopes after receiving funding for an adaptive ski programme on Mt Ruapehu. A $3000 grant was awarded to the organisation by the For Everyone Charitable Foundation and Westpac, allowing Parafed members, people with physical disabilities, to participate in outdoor activities. Parafed manager Catriona McBean says they are grateful for the support. “Without the help from organisations like FECF, undertaking activities such as this are often outside of the scope of our individual members,” she says. “It is enabling our members to try a new and exciting sport which some of them have never tried before.” Westpac Kilbirnie manager Richard Burr says the bank receives hundreds of local sponsorship requests every year. “It’s great to be able to give back and support Parafed Wellington which I know will mean a lot to our local community,” Richard says. For Everyone Charitable Foundation, founded by All Blacks Richie McCaw, Dan Carter and Ali Williams, helps fund small projects that cost $5,000 or less.

ON BALANCE: Wellington Phoenix player Jeremy Brockie is the new ambassador for the For Everyone Charitable Foundation.

“Making the world team was my goal.” The Worser Bay Boating Club member says sports and sailing is a huge part of his family’s life. “When I was seven, Dad put me in an optie (boat) and I just started sailing,” he says. “My whole family, on my Dad’s side, have sailed.” Sam says that while sailing is a lot of hard work, he loves the speed and vulnerability of the sport. “Just being out on the water by yourself and making your own decisions, yeah it’s cool,” he says. “You have to do a lot of running (sailing with the wind behind you) and it’s all about

By Georgia Forrester Sam Bacon will set sail and part the waves next month, after qualifying to compete in Argentina’s Optimist World Sailing Championships. The year nine Scots College pupil qualified for the New Zealand optimist sailing team after placing second at the Auckland nationals recently. Sam, 13, from Seatoun, is the only Wellingtonian to ever have made the optimist worlds team. Sam says that while Auckland’s nationals were hard work, he was pleased with his efforts. “It was a big relief really, I put so much effort into it and it all just came together,” he says.

your reaction time. Something I want to improve on.” Sam says he has been sailing the same boat for a year and a half, and is looking forward to a challenge as well as trying new things. “I want to try out different boats and different opportunities.” While Sam’s already navigating his own path to success, his goal is to one day compete in the Olympic class 49er boat. “It’s the fastest boat in the Olympics.” Sam will trade his Yachting New Zealand hoodie for an Argentinean one, a memento from the Optimist Championships held in San Isidro, Argentina next month.

Sharks snap-up victory The Island Bay Sharks have grasped hold of the Capital Football Cup - the first time in its 37 year history. Island Bay United Sharks scored 3-nil against the Petone Settlers, becoming the victor of

the 13th grade cup final. Coach Patrick Lane says that while the Sharks dominated the first half, Petone came back stronger in the second. Great defending from Island Bay goalie Reagan Sommer-

ville kept Petone scoreless, while the Sharks scored two more goals in the second half. “It’s been a great end to our season, with the team having finished top of the league before playing the cup round,”

Patrick says. Junior club convener Gary Scott says they are fortunate that many of the players have played together for a number of seasons and are part of a strong and growing junior club.

JOHNSONVILLE – GREAT FIRST HOME OR REDEVELOPMENT!

“It was great for the club to taste success in a highly competitive grade,” he says. The Sharks will finish the season in October when it plays at a football tournament in Taupo.
