Bears proving popular

By Gerald Rillstone

Serious illness gave Rachel Whalley the drive to keep herself busy, and with that she has reignited an interest in hand-made teddy bears. They are proving so popular that Rachel is almost certain she wont

have enough to fill the demand at this weekends market. A number of years ago serious illness floored Rachel and she found herself in the high dependency unit in Wellington Hospital. Continued on page 2.

Rachel will be selling the bears along with her hand printed cards at the Karori Arts and Crafts Market which runs from Friday to Sunday this weekend. “I have done hand painted cards as well and I might do cards of the bears as well and it is done with an ink dipped pen,” she says.

Uncertainty and challenges ahead for new Mayor

World Sandwich Day This week Kiwis were able to enjoy a good deed feed for World Sandwich Day. For every sub, salad or wrap purchased, not only did guests receive one free, Subway also donated a meal to charity. This year Subway New Zealand has donated 115,000 meals to KiwiHarvest, thanks to the support of New Zealanders on World Sandwich Day. Food insecurity impacts around 40 per cent of New Zealanders and around one in five children live in households without access to enough food. Subway New Zealand Country Director Chris Churchmichael says World Sandwich Day was one of the ways that Subway was giving back to the community and helping tackle hunger.

Extreme heat making businesses sweat

ABOVE: Former Wellington Mayor Celia Wade-Brown with re-elected Takapu Northern Ward councillor Malcolm Sparrow. LEFT: Newly-inducted Mayor of Wellington Andy Foster with a constituent, after last Wednesday’s inauguration ceremony. By Glenise Dreaver

The inauguration of the Wellington City Council Mayor, Deputy Mayor and councillors was held on Wednesday October 30 at the Michael Fowler Centre. The ceremony went ahead, despite uncertainty surrounding ex-Mayor Justin Lester’s challenge to the 62vote majority held by Mayor Andy Foster. The event means, however, any business transacted by council in the interim will be lawful. Justin placed the chain of office around Andy’s neck and the incoming Mayor later acknowledged the pain of be-

ing elected just once. “Losing the hopes and dreams. That’s really tough.” He also said that the clear message to him had been this: ”People want us to get things done.” The heavy chain, with 36 gold links, one for every Wellington Mayor and a central medallion dated 1840, could be seen as symbolic of the weighty issues Andy faces: transport, not least the Let’s Get Wellington Moving programme, earthquake resilience, including the rebuilding of key buildings in Civic Square, development at Shelley Bay and housing. New Deputy Mayor Sarah

Free also received her chain of office, having first been mistakenly given the Mayoresses’ chain, but that was soon put right. Former Deputy Mayor Jill Day now has the key role of chairing the strategy and policy committee, the council’s “engine room” which includes all councillors and the Mayor. It meets weekly for all but one week of the month. Its recommendations, or matters needing further work, can be forwarded to the relevant sub-committees or the monthly formal meeting of council. Some 350 guests included

members of the diplomatic corps, Maori leaders, MPs, for mer mayors, GW RC members, and family. Candidates could take their oath in Maori, in English or both. Some were fluent, especially those of Maori ancestry such as Jill Day and Tamatha Paul, the latter wearing a spectacular korowai (cloak) with pukeko feathers symbolising her iwi . Others made what was clearly a first, and courageous, effort to embrace the Maori language at this ceremony which, regardless of the recount result, heralds a new era for the city.

Extremely hot weather leads to declines in market value of shares on the stock market, according to a new international study. The research involved researchers from Victoria University of Wellington, the University of Otago and the University of California, Davis. “The study quantifies the impact of extreme heat events on corporate market values in public companies in the United States but has lessons for New Zealand,” say Associate Professor Lubberink from Victoria University of Wellington’s School of Accounting and Commercial Law.

Building funds open Two funds to help owners of earthquake-prone and heritage buildings in Wellington are now open for applications. There is $500,000 available in each of WCC’s existing Built Heritage Incentive Fund (BHIF) and the new Building Resilience Fund (BRF). The BHIF provides funding for heritage buildings, with 85 percent of funding for seismic-related works, and 15 percent for heritage conservation projects. The BRF is targeted at non-heritage buildings which are earthquake-prone, or have the potential to be, and have complex ownership arrangements such as a body corporates, or are small one to two storey buildings. The closing date is February 5 2020 and applicants can contact the council with queries, or to discuss their project.

inbrief news E-scooter ban? A petition to Government to have escooters and other personal transport devices banned from New Zealand footpaths has been launched. A spokesperson for a coalition of 14 organisations, including Grey Power and Alzheimers NZ, says the planned Accessible Streets regulatory package seems to permanently allow personal transport like e-scooters on footpaths. The spokesperson says that for many people on foot, those in pushchairs and wheelchairs, and those who have difficulty walking, hearing, seeing or with mental processing, using the footpath is their main connection to their community. The petition, which can be found on the parliamentary website, will be presented to Government in early December.

Gun amnesty ending Police Minister Stuart Nash is reminding gun owners that the Friday December 20 deadline for gun owners’ firearms amnesty and buyback will be enforced. “Don’t wait,” he advises, saying that the clock is ticking on the last opportunity to receive payment for prohibited firearms and parts, or to hand over unwanted or unlawful guns without fear of prosecution. He says that more than 19,000 people have picked up $62 million in payments, but if people don’t hand in the other prohibited firearms and parts by the non-negotiable deadline, they will get no money and will face up to five years in prison and the loss of their firearms licence.

New slide fun for all With new teaching spaces at Khandallah school a favourite of all students, the long slide, had to go, but with a huge effort from the school board of trustees and the supportive community they have a new slide up and ready to go. The original slide was removed to make way for the new shared learning space, the newly opened Kaukau building. When the building of the Kaukau block commenced, the board of trustees made a commitment to the community to have a replacement playground that would be better than the one that was removed. With great support from the Ministry of Education the community and hard work from the board of trustees the school now has exactly that. Student Aemlie Nestmann thinks it is one of the best things to have at a school. “It’s great to ride down but if it was a bit straighter I could shoot right out the end,” She says. Anyone wishing to have a go on the slide can when they come along for this year’s Kaukau Challenge.

Enjoying the slide Brody Carter, Lyla Desmond, Aemlie Nestmann all nine years old with teacher Hanan Chittock.

The news on our economy keeps getting better, with many indicators defying what is happening with economies around the world. Just this week, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern signed an improved trade deal with China. The Helen Clarkled Government was the first to secure a trade deal with China so there was considerable significance in us getting this upgraded deal this year.

future for the many hundreds of students who are moving out into the big wide world. Wages are up and unemployment is down, two important indicators. Concern over the environment is also ever-present with them, and our ambitious Zero Carbon Bill is moving through Parliament this week. It’s designed to lay out our pathway to zero carbon emissions by 2050. If we do nothing our kids will have to deal with the consequences. We are also working constructively with the farming sector to introduce a way to measure and price carbon emissions at the farm level by 2025.

It was only a year ago the opposition were attacking Jacinda Ardern over our relationship with China. This is, by far, the best trade deal any country has with China. Our PM is leveraging her massive overseas profile to achieve economic gains for us, so she should be encouraged not criticised, and she is representing us on the world stage which is benefitting NZ Inc.

Four special women were celebrated by Samuel Marsden Collegiate School, as they were inducted as Laureates into the Marsden Hall of Fame last week. Julia Morison ONZM, a visual artist, was recognised for her contribution to New Zealand art for more than 40 years. Using a wide variety of media, her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally. She was awarded the Frances Hodgkins Fellowship in 1988 and the Moet & Chandon residency in France in 1990 where she continued to work for the next 10 years. When she returned to New Zealand, she became Senior Lecturer in Painting at the University of Canterbury. Rosalba Finnerty (nee Willis) was made a Laureate in the Marsden Hall of Fame in recognition of service to the school. They honoured her, not only for her length of employment at Marsden, continuous since 1986, but for the breadth of voluntary work she has done for the community since 1974 and the depth of her knowledge of the school. Rosalba attended Marsden from 19561966 and in 1986 was made a School Bursar.

Maraea Rakuraku was recognised for her achievements as a storyteller, playwright, poet, writer and broadcaster informed by her Tuhoe and Ngati Kahungunu whakapapa. Maraea brings her whakapapa, advocacy and heart to all her work. She is currently completing a Doctorate in Creative Writing: Screenwriting at the International Institute of Modern Letters. Christina Inglis was also inducted into the Marsden Hall, her award recognising Christina’s contribution to the law and judiciary, particularly in the areas of employment and human rights. Christina served as a Crown Counsel and led the Crown Law Human Rights Team. She has also sat on the Advisory Board of the New Zealand Centre for Human Rights Law and Practice and in 2011 was appointed to the Employment Court and became the Court’s first female Chief Judge in 2017. “We are proud our girls have gone on to lead lives of meaning and accomplishment, and feel blessed that they come back and share their stories and experience with our current students”,Marsden Principal Narelle Umbers, says.

readers have their say... Find out the WORD on the Street. Question: Should the private sale of fireworks be banned?

Brian Hagen, Karori “I’m just back from Asia. There’s nothing close to those fireworks here. Bombs.”

Carmen Hartendorf, Khandallah “I’m in two minds. It’s a lot of fun but they can be very dangerous.”

Colleen Smith, Khandallah “Yes. Absolutely. If council wants to pay for a public display, then yes.”

D J Philips Johnsonville “Fireworks aren’t dangerous it is just the people who are in the way they use them and a few are spoiling it.”

Teresa Christianson, Northland “Absolutely. Our cat hates them. Have public displays.”

Warren Fraser, Karori “Yes! I learnt the hard way! Public displays are OK.”

Think about the horses this week Dear Editor With the glitz and glamour of the Melbourne Cup almost over, people may like to reflect on what happens to a number of the horses when their racing days are over. Being retired to a sunny pasture to enjoy the rest of their lives sounds

very idyllic and this should be the case. Unfortunately a high number of retired race horses, including those who don’t make the grade or are too slow or unsuitable for racing, end their days in a horse slaughterhouse being turned into pet food. It is a personal choice if you want to

bet on the Melbourne Cup or any other horse race (or greyhound race for that matter) but people need to be aware of the fate of many of the horses (called’ wastage’) when they put their bet on. Megan Barber Johnsonville

It was illustrated by another local, Alastair Babbage who was living in Ngaio at the time and, says Madeline, there were many hours and much consultation required in completing the illustrations. The book has received positive reviews since it was launched on October 16 at Vic Books, complete with a cake iced with the cover of the book on it. Iain has worked with, led and trained teams around the world and is now a speaker and trainer, while Madeleine provides facilitation, training, and coaching. “My special interest is in supporting parents to grow resilient children in an overindulgent world,” she says. The book was written while Iain was travelling to speaking appointments in Europe and the USA “The publisher, Taylor & Francis Group, is based in the USA, as is our editor,” says Madeline. “With Iain in Europe and myself here in Aotearoa, there was a lot of juggling across time zones,” she adds What the two writers are particularly proud of is a comment from their publisher John Wyzalek. His comment was: ‘Your manuscript has many firsts for me: it is the

National is aspirational for New Zealanders. In our Social Services Discussion Document, we’re asking for your view on how we can best support Kiwis to reach their full potential. Our social services programmes cost around $70 billion per annum – from supporting new mums and babies as they start their first 1,000 days, to helping seniors in their later years, to those who depend on the state when they’re unwell or not able to work. We believe that as much as possible, New Zealanders should be in the driver’s seat of their own lives. That means keeping more of what they earn and making their own life decisions. The reason for this is that families know their own needs best. But we also know that, sometimes, people need help to get back on their feet. We believe in a strong safety net that helps vulnerable Kiwis out of the cycle of poverty.

first to be gender fluid and have Maori as well as poems. I think the book will be thought-provok-

ing and start many productive conversations as well as assisting all to become better leaders.”

Our social services depend on the generosity of hardworking taxpayers every day. That’s why National’s approach to welfare is firm, but it’s fair. We believe work is the best route out of poverty, and we want to ensure as many New Zealanders as possible enjoy the opportunities that being in work bring. We want more Kiwis enjoying the security of a regular paycheque, and fewer children in benefitdependent homes, because we know kids do better when their parents are in work. We want to enable New Zealanders to live happy, healthy, prosperous lives – right from the very start. Our Social Services Discussion Document is part of the biggest policy process ever undertaken by an Opposition. Please give us your feedback on www.national.org.nz/social_ services.

St Benedict’s School Fair By Brian Sheppard

The people of Khandallah streamed into the St Benedict’s School fair on a sunny Sunday 3 November. The organisers had been worried when they awoke to a cool, cloudy morning but the sun came through and School Principal, Michael Hinds, took up his post in the entrance drive to welcome everyone as they arrived. The interest in rugby, heightened by the Rugby World Cup in Japan, was reflected in a chance to get up close and personal with the Bledisloe Cup and for the youngsters to have a go at sumo wrestling. Stalls selling garden plants,

cakes, hot dogs and a range of ethnic food dishes meant that there was something for everyone. A bouncy castle, and places to throw darts at balloons or to smash a rack of plates gave opportunities to burn off some excess energy. Michael Hinds explained that proceeds will be added to the fund-raising that is needed to meet the costs of laying the new turf area in the upper playground. But, just as importantly, the fair helps to cement the strong bonds of support between the school and the surrounding community. Let’s hope that this gives a taste of the summer days ahead.

Waitohi a sneak preview By Gerald Rillstone

Waitohi the new, multi-level community hub for Johnsonville that will join together a new library, Keith Spry pool, Whanau Manaaki kindergarten and a new café is getting close to opening and this week the Herald had a sneak preview at the latest fit out. These facilities will be linked to the existing Johnsonville Community Centre and the Memorial Park. Waitohi will be the vibrant heart of Wellington’s northern suburbs and a place for people to come together- Te Manawa o te Raki. The new makerspace at Waitohi called The Hive: The home of invention and various experiments, with Jamie Boor-

man, Waitohi’s makerspace specialist, is almost up and running. Jamie says they will be running exciting programmes where people of all ages can learn how to use 3D Printers, give laser cutting a go, and join in on a variety of activities involving robotics, electronics, coding, art, craft and sewing. “The HIVE is a space where you can come and create, play and experiment with ideas, technology and your imagination. It is a first for Wellington City Libraries and hopefully a template for similar spaces in the future.” says Jamie. The new café is almost ready and unique shelving is ready for books and magazines with the official opening next month.

Wearable Arts wedding dress wows crowd Recycled paper doilies, bubble wrap and plastic forks were just some of the bits and pieces residents and staff from Enliven’s homes have used to create wearable art masterpieces recently. Entries from a number of Enliven homes were modelled at the Woburn Home Wearable Arts in Lower Hutt recently. Cashmere Heights Home resident Josie Lancaster modelled her home’s entry, a beautiful wedding dress creation and accompanying parasol, made by Cashmere Home and Cashmere Heights Home recreation team leader Linda Lankshear. This was the third time Woburn Home hosted the event, which was established by Linda when she used to work there. More than a dozen outfits hit the runway at the Lower Hutt home as part of the event, attended by residents, family members and Enliven staff. This year the theme was ‘life’s memorable moments’, and the creations ranged from remembering school days, old dances, shared meals, leaving home and of course wedding days. Linda says the Cashmere Heights Home residents were treated to a sneak peek of her creation prior to the event. “Josie walked into the sunroom wearing the outfit and everyone started clapping.” As well as Johnsonville’s Cashmere Home and Cashmere Heights Home submitting an entry, other Enliven homes entered, such as Huntleigh Home in Karori and Levin’s Reevedon Home. Woburn Home manager Sue Wood says the outfits were made by recreation staff

EYE ON CRIME In Johnsonville a resident in Trafalgar Street arrived home at midnight and saw a hooded person standing by a sliding door. On being seen, the hooded person ran off. It was discovered that a pane of glass in the door had been smashed. A gold Toyota hatchback parked overnight in Kipling Street was broken into through a smashed window and a rabbit hutch was stolen from the boot. A Suzuki Swift parked during the late afternoon in Moorefield Road had a rear window smashed. The owner arrived to see a hooded male and female with hands through the window attempting to unlock the door. The owner ran towards them and the pair ran off so no entry was gained and nothing was stolen. A blue Honda CRV stationwagon parked overnight in Atua Street had a rear window smashed and a cell phone stolen from the glove box , while and a white Toyota hatchback parked overnight in Haumia Street was entered through a smashed rear window. The vehicle was searched but nothing was reported stolen. Entry was gained into a black Toyota stationwagon, parked during the night in Fraser Avenue, through a smashed rear window. The vehicle was searched but nothing has been reported stolen. A blue Toyota Vitz hatchback parked overnight in Arapiko Street had a rear window smashed and the vehicle was searched but nothing is reported stolen. In Newlands a house in Black Rock Road was entered during the day when the intruder put their hand through an

open window and unlocked the front door. A newly delivered washing machine, still in its box and been left inside the front door, was stolen. During the night, a silver Mazda Demio hatchback parked in Black Rock Road was entered through a smashed window and a wallet stolen from the glove box. A bank card from the wallet was used fraudulently twice, at a service station and a taxi. A silver Mazda Demio hatchback parked overnight in Lyndfield Lane had a rear window smashed and a bag of clothing was taken from the boot. In Khandallah an early morning commuter on the way to a Ganges Road bus stop noticed that the window of a restaurant was open and the latch broken. He called Police who found the empty cash register on the counter. The owner had, however, removed the takings before closing but a few bottles of alcohol were stolen. In Ngaio a pink Toyota Corolla hatchback parked overnight in the Collingwood Street park and ride car park had a rear window smashed. A rummage search was made but nothing was stolen. In Karori a resident in Croydon Street who had been working on his fence left his tools on the ground in plain sight of the road, during the early evening. They were stolen. In Northland a white Toyota Hiace parked overnight in Harbour View Road was stolen. In Kaiwharawhara a silver Toyota Yaris stationwagon parked overnight in Kaiwharawhara Road was stolen. It has since been recovered.

NZSO excels in 2020

US-based New Zealand conductor Gemma New, hailed as “one of the brightest rising stars in the conducting firmament.

A multi-Grammy Award winner, a virtuoso YouTube sensation and an internationally acclaimed young Kiwi conductor feature in the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra’s all-star 2020 concert line-up. The 2020 Season includes the New Zealand debut of Costa Rican conductor Giancarlo Guerrero, winner of six Grammy Awards. He’ll be joined by Ukranian pianist Valentina Lisitsa, who has been viewed on YouTube over 216 million times. Maestro Guerrero will also conduct the NZSO National Youth Orchestra and the NZSO for performances of Shostakovich’s monumental Seventh Symphony. US-based New Zealand conductor Gemma New, hailed as “one of the brightest rising stars in the conducting firmament”, will lead the NZSO for the first time. New will conduct in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin with virtuoso German cellist Johannes Moser, and two special concerts with Moser on electric cello. The NZSO will celebrate the 250th anniversary of Beethoven’s birth in 2020 with a myriad of concerts aimed at all age groups. Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony will feature Ode to Joy sung in te reo Maori by Secondary Schools and Youth Choirs in Auckland and Wellington. The NZSO and singers will be conducted by renowned American conductor Marin Alsop on her first visit to New Zealand. The concerts are part of an international project All Together: A Global Ode to Joy instigated by New York’s Carnegie Hall. Over 12 months Maestro Alsop conducts nine orchestras across five continents performing the Ninth Symphony. NZSO Chief Executive Christopher Blake says 2020 takes the Orchestra to new heights, with performances of great symphonic music, superb soloists, and innovative programming for new audiences. “One of the most exciting events to mark Beethoven’s 250th anniversary will be performing Ode to Joy in te reo Maori. We’re honoured a conductor of Marin Alsop’s standing is coming to New Zealand for the first time to lead the NZSO and that the concerts will include talented young New Zealanders. 2020 Season Subscription tickets are on sale at nzso.co.nz, along with detailed information on all concerts.

Have you thought about propagating? By Dwyllis Maggs Have you thought about propagating some of your favourite plants? From now through to midsummer is the time to take softwood stem cuttings. Cuttings at this time of year are quick to root because your plants are actively growing. This technique is mostly used for propagating perennials both hardy and tender for example pelargoniums, petunias and penstemons. You can also propagate deciduous shrubs such as buddleja, fuchsia and hydrangeas using this method. First look for new growth on your parent plant. It is easy to see as there is usually a colour difference between the old and new growth. For example, old growth on lavender shrubs have a silvery-grey colour

while new growth at the tips have a soft green. Using sharp secateurs or a knife cut just below a leaf node (the point where a leaf joins the stem). The cutting only needs to be 5 to 10cm long. Don’t make your cutting too long because long cuttings lose more moisture. Avoid taking cuttings from flowering shoots as they don’t root as well as non-flowering ones. Working quickly to minimise water loss (from the cutting) fill a small pot with free-draining propagation mix (coarse sand and pumice). Using a pencil or a blunt stick make a hole in the mix at the side of the pot. Strip the leaves from the lower half of the cutting and pinch out the growing tip. Insert your cutting

up as far as the first pair of leaves. Gently fill in the hole. Continue to add more cuttings around the edges and space them so that they are not touching each another. Finish off by watering the cuttings from above so that the mix settles firmly around the stem. Don’t forget to label the pot. You can cover your pots with a plastic bag to retain moisture but make sure the leaves don’t touch the sides or they will rot. I prefer to leave my pots uncovered somewhere warm. If you have a propagation pad or similar some bottom heat can speed up the rooting process. Cuttings will root within three to ten weeks depending on the temperatures and the plant.

Beware of Legionnaires’ disease when using compost and mixes At this time of year as the sun starts to make more of an appearance week-by-week, a nasty disease also starts to make its presence felt – Legionnaires’. As the days get longer and warmer, people are more inclined to head outside and get stuck into their gardens, and with this comes the increased risk of catching Legionnaires’. Gardeners are being urged to take care with potting mix and compost. Legionnaires’ disease is a form of pneumonia. It’s caused by the Legionella bacteria that live in moist organic material and people can catch the disease by inhaling airborne droplets or particles containing the bacteria. Gardeners are at particularly high risk of catching Legionnaires’ disease as the bacteria thrive in bags of potting mix and compost.

How to use compost safely

• Open potting mix or compost carefully – use scissors instead of ripping the bag • Wear a well-fitting disposable face mask and gloves, and remember not to touch your mask when gardening • Reduce dust by dampening down potting mix or compost with a sprinkle of water • Work with potting mix or compost in a well-ventilated outdoor area • Thoroughly wash your hands after handling potting mix or compost

There is typically a spike in cases in early November that can be attributed to the increased gardening activity over spring, so now is the time for gardeners to take the necessary steps to avoid catching the disease. Source: Canterbury District Health Board

Love Lavender? It’s been used forever as a medicinal herb, insect repellent, aromatic oil and general all-round house hold essential. The Romans and Greeks used Lavender when bathing and that is the origin of the botanical name Lavandula which comes from the Latin word lavare which means to bathe or wash. There are about 30 species of Lavender, and all of them are sun lovers! Lavenders are best trimmed after flowering. Many use the clipped blooms which can be dried for potpourri. Bees adore Lavender so make sure you plant a couple of bushes near the vegetable plot or orchard for pollination purposes. Most lavender used in the home

garden belong to one of two groups. The L. stoechas species are known as the Spanish lavenders and the L. angustifolia are the English types. Another popular variety is L. dentata also known as French lavender. New season Énglish types such as Grosso, Munstead, Hidcote and Violet Intrigue are now in store in good numbers. We also have Spanish and French varieties too - look for the new release French variety My Choice. This one is adorable! All Lavender are great for hedging or edging, perfect in the perennial border or lovely in a pot. They are easy to grow, for all they need is sun and a well drained soil. We love Lavender at Twigland!

Insurance Taskforce recommends shift of focus Wellington Mayor Andy Foster has released the Mayor’s Insurance Taskforce discussion document, which looks at ways to address increasing uncertainty in the city’s insurance environment. The Taskforce, which included expert advisors from the science, engineering, insurance, law, and academic fields, as well as apartment owners and property developers, was convened in response to growing anecdotal evidence about cost and availability of insurance for some in Wellington City. The Taskforce has identified that there needs to be a move away from the current

model where earthquake risk is transferred to insurers to a more balanced blend of “transfer, mitigate, accept and avoidance” of seismic risk. “New Zealand has one of the highest levels of insurance cover in the world. But we may not be able to rely on insurance so much in future to address all property risk,” Mayor Foster says. “Insurers have learned some painful lessons from the Christchurch and Kaikoura earthquakes and, while we might not like what they’ve told us, we can’t afford to ignore the signals we’re being sent. “In future buildings have to

be more resilient, and built in less risky places. Our building code rightly sets out to save lives in an earthquake, but that’s not enough. Buildings themselves need to be usable so we can recover quickly, fix things up and get our economy back on its feet. “We can’t achieve this by ourselves. We need central and local government collaboration, and the support of developers, building owners, the banking industry and insurers themselves. We’re currently planning for Wellington’s growth, so now is the perfect time for us to be having discussions around the community’s appetite for living with risk

and insurance; and the trade-offs we might need to make.” The Taskforce proposes establishing an integrated Wellington risk leadership group to oversee an agreed implementation plan. It could be co-chaired by the Mayor of Wellington and the Minister with responsibility for the Earthquake Commission. It also proposes immediately commissioning research to determine if building owners (and particularly bodies corporate) are not taking out insurance because of price or availability issues, and trends or factors that might indicate systematic under-insurance of Wellington households.

T he Task force had ea rlier flagged an option to investigate increasing the EQC cap to $400,000 in order to reflect the original intent of EQC. This is proposed to be in addition to risk reduction and mitigation rather than as an alternative to better buildings on better land. “We will of course rely on ongoing best available science and engineering advice to grow the City’s understanding of risk and resilience,” Mayor Foster says. “The Taskforce recommendations will go to the Minister of Finance and we look forward to working closely with the Government and others on the issues.”

Greater Wellington welcomes discussion on congestion Greater Wellington Regional Council is welcoming the release of The Price is Right, a policy paper which argues for congestion charging to help manage growing peak time urban traffic snarl-ups the report says costs the country more than a billion dollars each year. Congestion charging has been successfully trilled in many cities targeting higher road users at peak times in overcrowded routes. The report, written for the NZ Initiative by Dr Patrick Carvalho, focuses on the impact of congestion charging, asserting that “without proper road user pricing, congestion is becoming the new normal in our urban centres, costing the economy over a billion dollars every year” Greater Wellington chair Daran Ponter believes the case for congestion charging

should be publicly debated, in an environment where local authorities lack the wherewithal to effectively tackle the impact of rising congestion. “Local authorities have few tools to manage congestion, which is costing our communities both financially and environmentally. “Unless we find smart ways to unlock congestion, it will get much worse and its consequences more significant. “If Government forecasts that New Zealand’s total vehicle kilometres travelled might increase by as much as 66% by 2040, our region will slowly grind to a halt,” he says. Cr Ponter also agrees with the report’s contention that introducing congestion charges can encourage commuters to find

trip alternatives, such as other travel times, routes and transport modes. “The gold standard for public transport policy is mode shift: providing the right environment and incentives for people to take the bus or train rather than private cars, half of which are wasteful sole occupant commutes. “If congestion pricing can help us achieve that, we’d welcome the opportunity to discuss it with the Government. “But as a regional council, our interest

in mode shifting is broader than that of the NZ Initiative’s focus on congestion. Emissions from the national vehicle fleet are the nation’s biggest contributor to greenhouse gases. While economic cost and productivity are important, the clear and present danger is climate change. “Congestion charging is a useful tool. But it must be seen as another option in reducing harmful emissions rather than an end in itself,” he says.

SPORTS TALK with Jacob Page

Cane shows his worth after tough fortnight If there has been a winner in the All Blacks’ World Cup demise, in my eyes, it’s Sam Cane. Dumped from the starting line-up for the semifinal, his presence was sorely missed in a disastrous first 40 against England. His efforts on the field, I often took for granted. He’s not really my kind of flanker. He’s not the ball-fetching, ruck hunting openside I grew up with.

However, his physical presence, defensive intensity and total doggedness is something we clearly need. It’s the age-old saying - you don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone. I’d bet coach Steve Hansen and co would pick Cane in their starting side if they could pick the semifinal team again. That’s no disrespect to the man

who replaced him in Scott Barrett. He was put in a position to fail. An unfamiliar role where he naturally floundered on the biggest stage. Usually the All Blacks take a punt on a guy and it usually comes up trumps. Cane, who was once the presumptive captain-in-waiting, has likely lost that to Sam Whitelock now, but what he has proved is

a starting position is his going forward. Congratulations must also go to the Springboks for their 20-point demolition of England in the final. The game showed that English coach Eddie Jones, may have let his team down with his tunnel vision approach to beating the All Blacks, that there was no real plan for the final that followed. As many sides have looked after

Paris awarded all rounder Being awarded Wellington Community Trust – All Rounder of the year came as a great surprise for Queen Margaret College student Paris Lokotui. But to some it may not be so surprising. In her final year at Queen Margaret College, Lokotui has represented New Zealand in three different sports – basketball, netball and water polo. paris has been playing for the Queen Margaret College Senior A netball team since year nine, making this her fifth year in the side. It’s not just all netball for Lokotui however, she also plays basketball, water polo, sevens rugby and volleyball. She was also one of 12 young New Zealand sportswomen and the only one from Wellington who were awarded a Tania Dalton Foundation scholarship this year. The scholarship is in honour of the late Tania Dalton, who made 37 appearances for the Silver Ferns and died suddenly in 2017. Paris has always been around sport and sport teams and grew up travelling the world with her rugby playing dad, Lua Lokotui. The Tongan lock, who went to two Rugby World Cups, also played

beating the All Blacks the prior week, the English looked timid and tired - emotionally spent after their near flawless performance seven days earlier. With the Boks as world champs the new era of All Blacks have a measuring stick each year that is easy to compare. A fascinating four years of rebuilding, learning and growth lies ahead.

sports news Rec centre closed On Monday November 4, the Karori Recreation Centre closed for refurbishment. It reopens on Monday January 6. Wellington City Council is recommending alternative leisure activity choices, at Nairnville Recreation Centre in Khandallah, Karori Library, Karori Pool and Karori Community Centre.

There will also be updated signage and branding throughout the facility.

for clubs in France, England and Japan before settling down with his family in Wellington. Paris loves being part of as many sports as possible but admits a time will come when she will have to focus on one. She has played basketball for

the Junior Tall Ferns and, in 2017, went to India to play a vital role in the New Zealand U17 team qualifying for the world championships. That same year, she was goal keeper for the New Zealand U16 water polo team, and played in

Fiji with the Aotearoa Maori netball team (she is Ngai Tahu, Ngati Kuri, Te Rarawa, Te Aupouri - and Tongan - descent). This year she played for the New Zealand secondary schools netball side in a four-test series with their English counterparts
