By Nikki PapatsoumasWellington College are halfway
towards seeing the doors open on their new Memorial Hall and Performing Arts Centre, and now they are looking forward to making things happen.
In 2007 it was announced that Wellington College would begin fundraising for a new Memorial Hall and Performing Arts Centre, and seven years later the project,
or the ‘Raise the Roof’ campaign, remains in full swing.
Wellington College Head of Development Tony Robinson says seeing the centre completed is important for two reasons.
The Colleges current assembly hall was built in the late 1960’s to cater to the then roll of 800 students.
Continued on page 2.

now double this figure and Mr Robinson says the space is now proving inadequate as an assembly hall.
As well as this the school’s current performing arts centre, the Brierley Theatre, can only house an audience of 160, and the new centre would allow for a much larger audience.
“The idea is for this new building to be a fl exible all-purpose building, to be both a meeting place but also a vibrant performing arts cen-tre,” he says.
The fi rst stage of the project is expected to cost $8 million.
So far the college has man-
aged to raise $3.5m through fundraising and donations, leaving them $4m short of their total goal.
Mr Robinson says it has been a long process and the college is now determined to meet its stated goal.
“It is high time that this project came to fruition and something happened.”
He says ideally they would like to raise the remaining money in time to begin con-struction in December 2014, which would allow the centre to be up and running in time for the college’s 150 year celebration in 2017.
He says completion of the project will not only benefi t
the college, but the wider com-munity.
“It is the college’s intention that this will be able to be used by the public, as a public facility. Our aim is to share this with the community.
“It will be a benefi t to all the community of Wellington.”
As part of their fundraising efforts, this Tuesday college students and staff will com-pete in a stationery ‘bikea-thon’.
The event, which is now in its second year, will see a team of staff and a team of students compete against each other by cycling for 24 hours on stationery bikes.
“We wanted to think out of
the square and really attract attention to the Raise the Roof campaign,” Mr Robinson says.
At the end of the bikeathon the college will then kick off a TradeMe auction which will feature 12 sports-only auction items.
These include a full day of skiing with Olympian Simon Wi Rutene, and a coaching session with Black Cap crick-eter Mark Greatbach.
“We are very excited about this, there are 12 major sport-ing experiences available.”

By Nikki PapatsoumasFrocks on Bikes is a movement
working towards normalising cycling as an everyday form of transport by being inclusive and encouraging everyone to jump on their bikes.
Frocks on Bikes was formed in 2008 after a group of women took part in the annual ‘Go by Bike Day’.
The women spotted each other across a sea of fl uro, and realised they were all wearing normal clothes – Frocks on Bikes was born.
Co-coordinator Christina Bel-lis, who is also part of the Wel-lington ‘mothership,’ says Frocks on Bikes began with a focus on climate change and women, but has evolved into so much more.
“We wanted to create a niche for women and create a service that didn’t exist. But now it has become about sustainability, convenience, fi tness and exercise for everyone.”
The movement has proved to be so popular, groups have popped up around the country, and even across the Tasman.
Christina says she has been commuting by bike for the past 11 years, and part of the move-ment is encouraging people to think outside the box when it comes to cycling.
“We don’t need to see cycling as a sport. It has been taken into a sport mentality but can be a recreation and it can be just a commute, you don’t have to get all sweaty.
“People look beautiful out on their bikes, it’s a lovely image people happy on bikes.”
They often have group rides, which Christina says are great for people who love to ride but are too scared to cycle on Wel-lington streets.
“We are show don’t tell. We just get out there and do it and invite people to come along with us. The more people see others doing it they think ‘I could be doing that.’”
They also offer street skill workshops for people who want to cycle but may feel nervous. The classes provide participants with bike handling skills, and help to build confi dence.
Frocks on Bikes will be pre-senting their ‘Wheel Stylish’ evening on Thursday November 14 and the fashion show comes complete with a twist-all models will be on bikes.
Wheel Stylish will be held at the Sustainability Trust build-ing, 2 Forresters Lane, Te Aro.
Tickets are $20 and there will be limited doors sales.

The Island Bay community was saddened to learn The Empire Cinema had closed its doors for good last Wednesday.
The news came as a shock to many locals who were unaware the cinema, located on The Pa-rade, was considering closing.
The Empire offered three boutique cinemas, as well as a café and has been a popular spot for locals since opening eight years ago.
It was refurbished after the original Empire Cinema closed its doors in the late 1960’s.
Manager of the Penthouse Cinema in Brooklyn Iain Ma-cleod says the closure is refl ec-tive of today’s market.
“I think it’s sad when any busi-ness closes, and there is a lot of competition out there. It’s not just the cinemas that are having trouble, it’s the stadium, the
Empire Cinema, on the corner of Mersey Street and The Parade, closed its doors for good last week.
Phoenix. They are all having trouble attracting people.
“You’re not just asking peo-ple for their money you’re asking them for their time. It’s about making sure they enjoy their experience.”
Mr Macleod says the Pent-
house cinema, which has been open since 1975, will continue to improve what they offer their customers, which includes upgrades to the cinema and café over the coming months.
He also says The Penthouse
will honour any existing Em-pire Cinema gift vouchers.
Owners of the Empire Cin-ema Ian and Angela Hay could not be contacted for comment.
Empire Cinema to retire Bush Builders receives grantWellington Zoo’s Bush Builders pro-gramme has received $5000 in Canon products of its choice after being selected as an Environmental Grant recipient. Bush Builders is a hands-on conservation learning programme run by Wellington Zoo that connects urban students with their local wildlife. They share $20,000 worth of products with three other recipients.

Wanganui and Christchurch will join the mix in November and the programme will be expanded to include Auckland in the New Year. The free driving lesson programme is part of the AA's commitment to improve driving skills and behaviours along with helping to build positive attitudes behind the wheel.

By Nikki PapatsoumasLast week was the offi cial
Niue Language Week.The week was organised by
the Niue Kaufakalataha Wel-lington Region Inc (NKWR), and is in its second year.
Reverend Tom Etuata is now retired, but as chairman of the NKWR has helped to establish and organise the language week which runs from October 13 to 20.
He says the purpose of the language week is to revive the language.
“For most of our New Zea-land born, English is their fi rst language and most of them do not understand or speak the Niue language.
“We are under threat of our language becoming extinct if we do nothing about it.”
Reverend Etuata says it is becoming easier for people from Niue to come and live in New Zealand, and a downside to this means a decline in population on their homeland.
He says that while roughly 23,000 Niuean people live in New Zealand, Niue itself has a population of roughly 1,500.
He says what is now im-portant is encouraging New Zealand born Niueans to learn their culture and language through history, singing and entertainment.
“As long as there is an island back home there will always
be a language and also a culture and practice. There will always be that link.
“Language and culture are a powerful part of our identity, they make up who we are.”
The second Niue Language Week provided a variety of ac-tivities that encouraged those involved to learn more about their culture and language.
Reverend Etuata says given its popularity over the last two years, they are looking at making it an annual event.

Justin Lester appointed as Deputy Mayor
Last Friday Mayor Celia Wade-Brown announced that Northern Ward councillor Justin Lester will be appointed as Deputy Mayor.The new deputy mayor is Wellington’s youngest councillor, and says he is excited at the opportunity to work with the mayor.“I’m honoured to be off ered this role and will strive to do the best I can to serve the interests of all Wellingtonians, Mr Lester says.“We’ve got a large group of new councillors who are very talented and I look forward to working with them alongside the returning councillors.”
By Robert JohnsonWellington Mayor Celia Wade-
Brown is looking forward to increasing public confidence in Wellington and the council after winning the mayoral race last Saturday.
Ms Wade-Brown secured her second term as mayor after beating John Morrison by a majority of 2284 votes—fi nish-ing on 26,854 compared to Mr Morrison’s total of 24,570.
She gave a celebratory ‘ya-hoo’ when receiving the call to confi rm the result on Saturday evening and gave her husband
a big hug.“The support I received from
my husband and all those in-volved during the campaign and my fi rst term as mayor was fantastic.”
Ms Wade-Brown was happy with the clear majority, meaning special votes could not swing the result, allowing her to celebrate on the night.
“It was nice to not have to wait three days for the result like last time. Those were the longest three days of my life,” she laughs.
The mayor has spent the last
week meeting the councillors, both old and new, and is happy with what she has seen.
“I’m very pleased with the make-up of the council. They are all very positive and enthu-siastic and have some great ideas for a sustainable city.”
She says despite a number of councillors having differing political affi liations, there are common goals among them all.
“I’ve talked to councillors with a Green affiliation who are passionate about economic initiatives and are very ‘urban greens’. Those at the other end
of the political spectrum have shown interest in parks and reserves. There are definitely some shared goals.”
Ms Wade-Brown says the goal for the next three years will be continuing the vision of a good economy and a sustainable city through attracting good quality jobs, saving money through shared services with other councils and improving public transport.
“I’ve got a good grasp of the magnitude of this role now and am looking forward to increas-ing the confi dence in our city,”

Council welcomes new faces By Nikki Papatsoumas
The southern and eastern wards welcome two new faces to the council table.
David Lee joins Paul Eagle as southern ward councillor, while Sarah Free will join Si-mon Marsh and Ray Ahipene-Mercer in the eastern ward.
Both councillors ousted exist-ing previous councillors, Mr Lee was elected over incumbent Bryan Pepperell in the southern ward, and Ms Free beat Leonie Gill in the eastern ward.
Both new councillors say while campaigning they have managed to establish a good relationship with their commu-nities, and they are now looking forward to the next three years.
Mr Lee says he is “delighted” to have been elected.
“I didn’t run with the expecta-tion of losing, it wasn’t ‘let’s
have a bit of a go and test the water,’ I was all in now and that’s it.”
Mr Lee says he wants begin by looking at implementing achievable cycle lanes begin-ning in the southern ward. He also says building relationships across council is important.
“The most important thing is building relationships and connections within council, and then putting together a good programme for action for our southern ward.”
Ms Free says she had no name recognition, so her win is the result of a hard campaign.
“I knew I would have to cam-paign really hard to win people over.
“I like to think we were elected because we did win people over with our skills and what we had to offer.”
Ms Free says now she will focus on the platforms she campaigned for, which includes cycling infra-structure, something she will try to make progress on as soon as possible.
Both councillors stood as Green party candidates for the election, and say although they got in on a green ticket, they are now looking to work as a collective.
“It is very easy to label us, we are Green but I believe everyone has an element of ‘greenness,’” David says.
“A lot of the other council will support many of our initiatives, whether they are Green or not,” Sarah says, “all the signs are we will be able to work really well together.”
David Lee and Sarah Free have both been elected to Wellington City Council.

By Nikki PapatsoumasThe Fabric-a-brac event, which has proven to
be very popular, will return once again this year.The event, which is now in its fi fth year,
offers stall holders the opportunity to sell old fabric they have no use for, and is perfect for anyone who loves to sew and may be looking for unique fabrics.
Stallholders at the event range from private sewers to small clothing, accessory or uphol-stery businesses.
The Fabric-a-brac has proven so popular, peo-ple have even started their own events in other locations, including New Plymouth, Auckland and even Sydney and Brisbane.
Founder of the Wellington event Josie Bren-
nan says she has always been a sewer, and was left with all of her mother’s fabric when she moved into a retirement home.
“I looked at in despair, it would’ve taken years to have put it all up on Trade me. I realised I would rather sell it on to someone else who is enthusiastic about material and would use it.
“It is fantastic for people who really want to fi nd the best bargains but also the most unusual things.”
The fi rst event was held at the Brooklyn Com-munity Centre in 2009, and Josie says the fi rst year was so popular the centre fi lled up like a “fabric mosh pit.”
After having a family Josie has stepped back from running the events, but says she remains
passionate about it.“It has turned into this lovely com-
munity thing, and it’s great for people to meet other people who are interested in fabric and sewing.”
At this year’s event there will also be a table of donated fabric, with all
proceeds going towards the Hospice.
The fabric-a-brac will be held on Saturday November 9 at the St Anne’s Church Hall in Newtown.For more information head to www.fabricabrac.co.nz

Spiral shaped garden takes shape
By Nikki Papatsoumas A spiral shaped amphitheatre
and garden has taken shape at the former Wellington Prison gardens on Mount Crawford.
The artist John Overton, who is also spokesperson for the Save Mount Crawford Campaign, says he wanted to create an outdoor space for the community to enjoy.
“I thought it would be nice to have a place where people could meet and discuss things in a tranquil setting.
“The idea is it would be a gar-den, but also a venue for social and community gatherings. It also serves as a venue for small outdoor performances.”
John says the land art work
was inspired by ‘Vortrovia Vision’ which is the vision of a sustainable eco-city. He says at the centre of the eco-city there is an amthenium, which is a spiral amphitheatre.
John says this is the largest piece of art he has created.
“I have done a few things like this one on a smaller scale, but this is the largest one I have done.”
He says he would like to see more of the space transformed into a small art park, and en-courages other people to come along and create more small outdoor installations.
For more information, head to the Save Mt Crawford Cam-paign Facebook page.
The venue at the former Wellington Prison garden will also function as a small amphitheatre for social gatherings, acoustic performances & a forum for general discussion.

SUNDAY 17th Nov 4PM THE OPERA HOUSEBeethoven Leonore Overture No 3, Op 72bLeonard Bernstein Serenade for Violin Beethoven Fidelio Overture Op 72cLeonard Bernstein Fancy Free
Marc Taddei, Conductor Natalia Lomeiko, Violin
6 Monday October 21, 2013
Orchestra Wellington’s fi nal subscription concert for the year shows two sides of American composer Leonard Bernstein, pairing the jazzy suite Fancy Free with his seriously philosophical Serenade for Violin. The concert also completes the orchestra’s cycle of overtures to Beethoven’s opera Fidelio.
Bernstein likened his Serenade to Plato’s Dialogue, calling it “a series of related state-ments in praise of love”.
To play it, Orchestra Wellington is pleased to welcome Natalia Lomeiko, who has been garnering rave reviews from The Strad since winning the Michael Hill Violin Competi-tion a decade ago.
Born into a family of musicians in No-vosibirsk, Russia, Natalia Lomeiko has established herself internationally as a regular performing artist.
She has appeared as soloist with the Royal and Tokyo Royal Philharmonics and her chamber music colleagues include Gidon Kremer, Yuri Bashmet and Dmitry Sitkovetsky.
Four rimshots on the snare-drum launch Bernstein’s Fancy Free, a ballet suite fi lled with the rhythms and energy of New York’s Jazz Age.
The 1944 ballet tells the adventures of three sailors on shore leave.
They go to a bar (of course!), dance with girls they meet there, fi ght over them and fi nally make peace.
The music gives a nod to Stravinsky’s motoric rhythms, but Fancy Free’s biggest infl uences are the streets and clubs of New York, pulsing with jazz, Latin rhythms and blues harmonies.
Leonore No 3 was written for a revised
Fancy Free at Orchestra Wellington
1806 version of his opera Fidelio. It is a glorious tone poem with a heroic
sweep picturing the opera’s journey from darkness to light.
When the opera was revived in 1814, Bee-thoven wrote a completely new overture.
Now known as Fidelio, it packs a mighty punch right from the fearless, leaping chal-lenge of its opening chords.

By Nikki PapatsoumasThe Worser Bay School Gala is coming
up in November and this year the theme will be ‘Welcome to Wonderland’.
Wonderland was Miramar’s very own theme park and was opened in 1907 by Chase Morris Esq.
It was located at the north end of Miramar near the present site of Camp-erdown Studios on the block bordered by Darlington and Camperdown Roads.
The theme park went into liquidation in 1911, four years after opening.
Now, Worser Bay School students, staff and families will transform the school into its very own wonderland on November 10.
Worser Bay School principal Jude Pentecost says every year the school likes to try and stick with a theme that refl ects
Miramar for their gala.“One of our school goals is celebrating
our place, so that falls out of that, where we are in this beautiful location.”
Ms Pentecost says this is the main event of the year, along with their ‘summer fest’ which is held earlier in the year, and a huge per cent of their school families get involved.
Money fundraised will go towards the school’s new outdoor learning environ-ment which is in the early stages of a ten year plan and towards professional development for staff and e-learning.
The Worser Bay School ‘Welcome to Wonderland’ gala is on Sunday Novem-ber 10 from 11am until 2pm.
For more details head to the Worser Bay School Fair 2013 Facebook page.
Gala a ‘Wonderland’Cruz, Elanor, Molly, Jupiter and Orla are all excited to see their school transformed into a wonderland in November.

By Nikki PapatsoumasIsland Bay Playcentre is
looking forward to their upcoming Gala.
In particular they are ex-cited for the silent auction, something which is new to their gala.
Amongst the items up for auction is a rugby jersey, which has been signed by team and coaches from 2011, the year New Zea-land won the Rugby World Cup.
The playcentre was lucky enough to win the jersey af-
ter being selected through a ballot, and are now excited to see the outcome of the silent auction on the day of the gala.
Money f u nd r a i s e d through the gala will go towards improving the playcentre’s outdoor area.
The gala will feature live music from parents and the Wellington Batucada group will also perform.
Entertainment for the children will include a little dig, face painting and a bouncy castle.
There will also be a white elephant, toy stalls and kids gear stalls.
Spokesperson Alice Domett says people can come to eat, relax, and let the kids play.
“It’s always such a great day, the adults sit and relax while the kids are enter-tained.”
The Island Bay Playcen-tre Gala is on November 9, from 10am until 2pm at 158 The Parade, Island Bay.

LETTERS to the editor
Dear Ed, I was touched by your story about
the small puppy Noah, in last weeks Cook Strait News.
(Cook Strait News 14 October 2013).
What a gorgeous wee thing!
I loved the premise of blessing the animals and also making an adoption day of it.
I do hope they found homes for some of their foster animals, it breaks my heart to see so many animals neglected and abandoned in such
horrible circumstances. Thank goodness for the kind souls
that keep the SPCA running so these animals have a fi ghting chance.
Kind Regards,T. McGee

Here is some advice that will help you have fun with fashion as you get older.
As we grow older our bodies often change and an important part of the aging process is to continue to celebrate your body, you just have to adapt your style to suit your body shape.
Be an individual: Wearing a great cut of skirt or jean, together with a well-chosen top
to fl atter your skin tone and body, will set you on your way to looking
good. Pay particular attention to how you wear colours and styles together.
Quality over quantity: Choose well-made clothes. If this means buying less then so be it. Buy some good quality pieces of clothing which will form the basis of your wardrobe. Your wardrobe should refl ect your own regard for yourself.
Hold yourself in high esteem and use your clothes along with your grooming to communicate this.
The right fi t: Correctly fi tting clothing is everything. Expensive and budget clothing can all look awful if they don’t fi t properly so fi nd a brand that gives you the best look.
Clothing should gently skim your body, anything oversized will conceal any defi ni-tion making you look like a sack of potatoes. Anything too tight will cling to your body.
- Around the armholes. Is there any puckering or pulling?
- Wherever buttons or fastenings meet. Are the areas between the
fastenings exposing fl esh?- Across your tummy. Is the garment
riding up stretching or losingits shape?
- Across your behind and round your crotch. Trousers that are too
tight pull and crease around the crotch. The eye will be immediately
drawn here and you just don’t need that.- Around or across your bust. Does it make
your breasts a strangeshape when fastened? Is it riding up over
the bust because there isn’tenough fabric in the design?- Across your back. It may be making
tramlines in a fl eshy back or notallowing you to swing your arms freely.

While it's always a good idea to stay hydrated, it's especially important when the temperatures of summer start rising.
Whether you're spending your vacation camping and hiking or just doing more outdoor daily activities like biking and walking, I've got some tips for how you can stay hydrated during the warm weather months.
Eat your water. Chowing down on water-fi lled foods like watermelon, is an easy and refreshing way to keep hydrated.
Swap soda for sparkling water. If you're trying to kick a soda habit, sparkling water is a healthy, but still fi zzy, alternative.
Hydrate before exercising. Be sure to drink water before exercising to maximize your workout.
Drink water on the plane. If you're traveling this Summer, don't forget to drink up the H2O on the plane.
Stay hydrated at work. Even when working indoors, it's important to keep the fl uids handy.
There are fi ve more ways, so read more.Drink water before meals. By drinking water
before meals, not only will you stay hydrated but you're less likely to overeat.
Have enough on hand. When you're spending the day camping or biking, it's important to bring enough water to last the trip.
Spice it up with healthy fl avouring. If you're having a hard time getting enough water,
spice it up with some natural fl avoring. Keep track of your daily water intake.
Stay hydrated this summer Hydrating prior to exercise is important in aiding your workout.
The shape and colour of your nails may be indicators of your health.
Pale or bluish nails may indicate anaemia. If the pink colour is slow to return when the nail is squeezed, it may be a sign of decreased circulation.
Clubbed nails shaped like the back of a
spoon may mean cardiopulmonary disease or asthma.
Spoon nails which dip inwards could mean certain types of anaemia or injury.
Pitted nails with punched-out spots may signal psoriasis.
Nail health
Try this tasty and handy way to keep track of your H2O intake.
Keep a reusable bottle with you. Having a water bottle with you at
all times is the easiest way to stay hydrated without even thinking about it.
Celebrities such as Jane Fonda show that despite your age, you can still look amaz-ing with the right style of clothing to suit your fi gure.
Have you ever noticed how some of your friends look best with no makeup at all?
No matter your age, too much makeup makes you look worse.
If you wear foundation, pow-der, blush, liner, mascara, eye-shadow, lip liner and gloss on an everyday basis, then you're overdoing it.
Tone it down: All you really need is a great mascara, con-cealer for blemishes and gloss. Add a pop of blush in winter.

Club welcomes new membersBy Nikki Papatsoumas
The Worser Bay Surf Life Sav-ing Club are a family orientated club who are welcoming new members as the summer months approach.
The club, which currently has between 120 and 150 members, had their registration day on Sunday, and club days will continue to be held each Sunday from 2pm for the rest of the year.
Club chair Grant Rae says this is the perfect opportunity for kids between the age of 7 to 13 to come in and register for nippers, where children will receive training towards their
junior surf achievement award.As well as the nipper pro-
gramme for children under the age of 14, the club also runs regular life guard training courses.
Anyone who is a competent swimmer above the age of 14 can learn to be a life guard, through a surf life guard train-ing programme.
Grant says they currently have 25 active life guards, and would love to increase this number by encouraging more people to get involved from a younger age.
He says it is important to keep kids enthusiastic from a young
age, so they can train to become life guards when they reach the appropriate age.
“It is action, fun and excite-ment. We can offer kids a whole range of life skills. It is not just about saving people it’s about mechanics, maintenance and team work.”
He says good swimming and a reasonable fitness level are required, but you don’t have to be an athlete to be a life guard.
“You don’t have to be an athlete to be a top life guard. It’s about being enthusiastic and be prepared to learn skills and discipline.”
As well as running these pro-grammes the club also partici-pates in carnival days across the Wellington region.
The fi rst nipper carnival day is being held on Sunday Novem-ber 24 at Worser Bay Beach, and Grant says they are expecting between 150 to 200 children will participate from Worser Bay, Lyall Bay, Maranui, Titahi Bay, Paekakariki, Otaki and Riversdale.
For more information about the club, head to their website www.worserbaylsc.org.nz/home
Coach Dave Wells, driver/crewman Paul Langman, crewman /driver Henry Williams, crewman Jack Malin and Neil Forbes Coach compete in the 90 Mile Beach Classic race in Northland.
