After years of planning, the Waitohi Community Hub Library is almost complete, the provisional opening date December 14.

Libraries and community spaces manager Laurinda Thomas says we will have the biggest library in Wellington, following the closure of the Central Library.

It’s not just twice the area of the old one, but Waitohi will have the biggest book collection in the city, with 16,000 new books to supplement the existing 35,000 volumes.

Library biggest and best Continued from page 1.

That’s necessary. “We know a new library brings a 40 percent increase in usage.”

And Wellington people are, she says, heavy book users.

“They love the printed word.

They read a lot. And broadly, deeply.”

So at least half a million people a year are expected through.

“And that’s huge for Johnsonville itself,” Laurinda adds.

The two-level building will cater to twenty-first century needs, including multiple power points, “maker spaces” for craft and technical work, and a small sound studio for recording and editing audio and music.

Then there are the bleacher seats waiting for cushions, tucked in beside the steps to the café and the children’s and non-fiction sections on the mezzanine floor.

“It can be a hang-out space,” says Laurinda. “Or a place for an audience to listen to a talk.”

There will also be new ways of working. Gone will be a single big desk at the front.

Desks there will be, but smaller, and staff will roam more, to help library users as they browse.

This week, the former Johnsonville Kindergarten in Wanaka Street is being demolished, replaced by a 24-space car park and patio leading into the café.

Now library staff are planning

for the huge task of shifting from the Broderick Road library, which will be shut for two weeks before the new building opens.

A moving company will do

the heavy lifting, but largescale book shelving will be a carefully measured activity Laurinda says.

“There’s a huge weight of books. Even lifting them one

at a time for several hours a day can cause injury.”

Book lovers will also be happy to hear that there will be a big book sale at a date still to be decided.

Heroism to be remembered At 1.15pm on Mond ay August 19, at James Stellin Memorial Park, Northland, the 75th anniversary of the ultimate sacrifice made by 22-year-old James Stellin will be remembered.

The young World War II pilot, a former Scots College pupil, sacrificed his life in France to save the 370 people

of the village of Saint-Macloula-Brière in Normandy.

He steered his plane away from the village, but in doing so he was too late to bail and did not survive the crash.

His grave is a dedicated Commonwealth war grave and the villagers continue to honour James annually, renaming an area in front of

Diane Calvert, Wellington city councillor for Wharangi/ Onslow-Western Ward, this week announced she will stand for the mayoralty in the WCC elections on October 12.

She says she’s doing that after being approached by a lot of people.

“They are ready for a change.

They want someone to speak up for them.”

Diane says she especially wants to ensure more transparent decision-making.

“Wellingtonians have had enough of overspending and secret deals. We want honesty, transparency, and accountability.

“Over the last twelve months there has been less of that, fewer chances for different points of view to be heard.”

In that respect, she says she is concerned about the role the national Labour Party has assumed in policy and council decisions.

“Our city needs real leadership that’s for Wellingtonians and not just the Beehive.”

One example of that is, she says, the lack of consultation and open debate in the Let’s Get Wellington Moving programme.

“It won’t deliver what Wellingtonians need now, nor in 20 years when it might be finished. That’s 20 years too late.”

The final draft of the programme had never come to council she says, nor did any Wellingtonians get to comment on it before it went to the Beehive.

“Representatives from the New Zealand Transport Agency, Greater Wellington Regional Council and Wellington Mayor Justin Lester took it to

Helicopter at Otari Work is due to begin today, Thursday August 15, to construct a viewing platform at the 800- year-old rimu on the blue trail at Otari.

Between 8am to 1pm, a helicopter will transport materials from Wilton Park on Wilton Road to the drop site about 100 meters from the rimu.

While the helicopter is in operation all Otari forest tracks under and around the flight path will be closed. Wilton Park will also be closed.

“We had a rough idea about what was in it, but the final draft was never debated.

“And it’s a big strategic decision worth billions.

“If you can’t run a bus network costing a couple of hundred million dollars, what are

the chances of successfully running a project worth billions?” she asks.

The bus issue needs, Diane says, more effort to fix it.

“More effort than just putting in bus priority lanes.”

“Wellington’s population is growing and we need to

support this growth with a stronger economy and integrated solutions in housing, transport and infrastructure for all our communities.

“And our leaders have to be honest. They can’t afford to keep making promises they won’t live up to.”

On Friday August 9, Wellington Zoo Trust and Zealandia signed a Memorandum of Understanding.

“Wellington Zoo and Zealandia have had a fantastic working relationship over the past twenty years and we are thrilled to cement and celebrate our partnership,” said Karen Fifield the zoo’s CE. “We have collaborated with Zealandia on numerous projects, she says, adding that the agreement sets the foundation for future collaborations.

The zoo will continue to treat native wildlife patients and will also offer support for veterinary health checks and wildlife disease screenings on-site at Zealandia.

Flu on decline The latest influenza surveillance from the Institute of Environmental Science and Research (ESR) shows a continuing national drop in numbers of flu and flulike illnesses around the country for the fourth week running.

The figures peaked at over 2600 at the beginning of July and were down to 850 by last week. Numbers testing positive for a flu virus have dropped from close to 1800 to over 500 over the same period.

Rates of hospitalisation for severe respiratory illness have also dropped below the baseline seasonal level.

An ESR spokesperson says this year’s influenza season was early and appears to be declining earlier than usual, but cautions there could still be a resurgence late in the flu season.

Train upgrade begins Greater Wellington Regional Council is planning to purchase new rolling stock for the Wairarapa and Capital Connection fleets.

Council has endorsed a plan to supplement peak demand on the busiest lines, Hutt Valley and Kapiti, which together carry 84 percent of the network’s passengers.

Overall the rail network reached a new high of 14.3 million passengers in June 2019, an increase of 5.7 per cent over the previous year.

Trains running longer distance services between Wellington and Masterton and Wellington and Palmerston North also require refurbishments or replacements.

Whale Rescue expertise shared in local workshop

By Glenise Dreaver

On Saturday August 10, over twenty people from throughout Wellington spent a day at the Johnsonville Community Centre with Whale Rescue experts, learning how to best manage whale strandings.

Local Whale Rescue member Linda Gideon-Robinson, the well-known proprietormanager of the Ka Pai Kidz Centre in Newlands, explains that Wellington is an important centre for trained volunteers, and they are always looking for more.

That’s because, she says, we are able to quickly provide good numbers of volunteers when a whale stranding occurs in Nelson’s Golden Bay. “By ferry or plane. Whatever is fastest.

“Strandings often occur there,” says Linda. “Maybe the bay’s geography confuses their sonar.”

She has been to half a dozen strandings , some with hundreds of pilot whales.

When the call comes, Linda’s on the first available ferry.

The last one came in the early evening, and with her alreadypacked bag she was on the 8.30pm ferry, promising her husband that she had safe transport from Picton to Nelson.

In the event she had to use her initiative. With the Whale Rescue logo on her jacket, she

was helped on the way by a friendly truckie, followed by a few other drivers who realised why she needed a lift.

“People are so good. I was there before 10.30am, just as the operation was starting.”

Tanya Kenchington from Churton Park was at the workshop, the second time she’s been to one as she wants to make sure she is as prepared as she can be when the call comes.

“I’ve already got my kitbag ready.”

The workshops are comprehensive, with a strong emphasis on preparedness and ensuring the volunteers keep themselves safe in what can be a dangerous situation for the unprepared.

Presenter and co-founder Dr Ingrid Visser explained the correct gear to have ready packed ready for a call, the need to keep warm and the vital importance of remaining aware of your surroundings.

Half an hour in the water at a time, and the need for at least two wetsuits to ensure adequate layers of protection from hypothermia were emphasised, as was the need to watch tidal movements which can rush in at speed, bringing rips.

“Watch the people around you,” Dr Visser said, adding that it was important for volunteers keep themselves safe.

“Because attending to volunteers means attention is taken

away from the whales. And the whales are our focus. They are why we are there.”

Guilty plea in Karori murder On Monday, in the High Court in Wellington, 31-year-old Joseph William Borton entered a plea of guilty to murdering a woman in Karori in April.

The woman’s name is suppressed to protect her 12-yearold daughter who Borton sexually assaulted.

He was remanded in cus-

tody for sentencing on October 18 after pleading guilty to murder, indecent assault of the woman and to wounding the girl with intent to cause

grievous bodily harm, sexually violating her and doing an indecent act.

He also pleaded guilty to charges of aggravated burglary.

development has lagged behind the city’s growth and cannot cope with the increased population creating congestion on our roads which is becoming a huge issue that needs to be addressed.

• Is it not the Councils responsibility to make sure that buses and trains are

running on time, every time?

• We need more accessible and affordable public transport options.

• The WRRYV will lobby for free yearly kerbside inorganic rubbish collection.

• We will lobby for Council to provide weekly wheelie bin collection, for general rubbish and recyclable

rubbish, and one bin for green waste.

• This will reduce more than 400,000 plastic bags going to the tip every week.

Wadestown Kindergarten head teacher Elle Whiteoak with long-standing teacher André La Hood as they scrutinise a photo of the late Sir John Marshall with an as-yet-unidentified Wadestown child. (Sir John died in 1988.)

By Glenise Dreaver

The Wadestown Kindergarten is preparing to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the opening of their premises at 45 Oban Street.

On August 29, head teacher Elle Whiteoak says they will be celebrating that milestone with the whole community.

Several members of the establishment comittee from the time

of their momentous shift in July 1979 have come on board, she says.

And they are gathering resources from the files, which including a photograph of the late Prime Minister John Marshall, also a children’s book writer, with a child, both enjoying a “go” on one of the kindy’s ride on toys.

There is also a good collection of photos dating from their first

site in 1940’s.

Elle has a message to past, present and intending kindy families with young children.

“We would love if you wanted to come by on Thursday August 29 at 3pm,” she says, adding that there are spaces for more children at the moment and it would be a good chance for anyone interested to come and have a look at what Wadestown Kindergarten offers.

Unemployment is down below 4 per cent and wages are up. Despite dire predictions that increases in the minimum wage and good pay settlements would have a negative effect, the opposite has proved true.

And we’re continuing to run surpluses and keep debt under control.

I do worry that deliberate and somewhat disingenuous attempts by the opposition to talk down the economy will damage our country, but I have faith New Zealanders can see through the doom and gloom merchants.

Certainly we in Ōhāriu have plenty to be optimistic about, with considerable house construction taking place, and some promising indications that things are happening with the Johnsonville Mall.

I make myself as available as I can on sports fields, and in cafes and shopping centres so I can hear from a wide range of people who would not normally engage politically.

We get heavily lobbied in parliament on issues like euthanasia, abortion, and firearms legislation, often by

Everyday life can be tough for parents with children who are picky eaters.

Judith Yeabsley’s response was to form ‘The Confident Eater’ company, to find simple non-medical ways to help parents build children’s confidence around eating and trying new foods.

They do this individually and through workshops for groups and educators.

Judith, who is from Tawa, ap-

preciates the daily stress that picky eating causes and how it affects social occasions, meals out and holidays.

Her latest venture, with two other Wellington mums, Karen King from Churton Park and Vibeke Moore from Khandallah was to develop a book for parents ‘Creating Confident Eaters’.

It was launched at Ngaio Tow n Ha l l on Aug ust 9.

The book takes parents through practical strategies that gently enable a child to add variety to their

diets. Its format is image-based, to put across quite complex ideas in a way that is easy to understand by busy parents.

As Judith explained, they wanted to ensure that the average parent – like themselves – can use the guide as a handy reference that is returned to again and again.

She emphasised that its aim is to show how to support getting food eaten by picky eaters but not to advise what children should eat, as that is a topic covered widely elsewhere.

Carter Scheule of Johnsonville: turning a love of animals into practical action.

PHOTO: Lauren Simpson

GET THE 1OO% FEEL GOOD EXPERIENCE

Carter Scheule of Johnsonville spent his last school holidays collecting, drying and selling pinecones to raise funds for the animal shelter Helping You Help Animals.

After selling bag-loads of pinecones and kindling at the bottom of his driveway, the 11-year-old ended up with $200 as his dad matched his earnings, which he hand-delivered to the HUHA shelter in Otaki.

“I couldn’t have felt any better,” says Carter.

“Walking away from it I was just like ‘Yes, I did the right thing’. I was just really proud of myself and my parents who helped me.”

HUHA is a no-kill animal rescue shelter that aims to protect the animals brought in and actively find them safe homes.

“They take any animal from a goose to a mouse that is in need and protect them,” says Carter. “All of the dogs we saw were in these new cabins with dog beds, toys, treat dispensers and they were all happy as.”

“There was one lady that visited the stall who worked with HUHA before. Her

neighbour’s cat was being disrespected so she took her into HUHA, and they sorted her out and got her a home.”

He says his dad suggested donating the money to a charity and while he was “on edge” about the idea to begin with, he became inspired to give it to HUHA because of his love for animals.

“We have two dogs and a cat, and they are just everything,” says Carter. “I was born with my cat, he is just one year older than me.”

After deciding to sell the pinecones he collected, his parents doubled it as an economics project to teach him about the extra costs of running a business, with costs such as leasing the driveway for his stall.

“It started out as a way to keep him busy in the holidays because he kept saying he was bored,” says mum Victoria. “We planted the seed, but the rest Carter drove himself which was cool.”

“I’m definitely doing it again,” says Carter.

“Probably in the next few months but we’ve already got pinecones drying in the garage.

Deepak Dalvi, Newlands “We don’t use plastic at all. But if we do, we recycle it.”

Diane Flaus, Johnsonville “I do more recycling and only do rubbish every fortnight. I don’t each much meat. I sit in and have my coffee so I don’t use takeaway cups.”

Lamber Tenbroeke, Johnsonville “I use paper bags for my shopping but sometimes the things fall out the bottom!”

Shirley Chien, Johnsonville “When we go out we take our own utensils.

We just put them in a bag.”

Fiti Magele, Newlands “We try to use less plastic and try to reuse instead of buying new. And what food we don’t eat we freeze it.”

Blood boiling Dear Editor Re “New career for former rep”, Independent. Herald 1/8/19, p.19.

Daphne Tou’s new employer Tranzurban should never have got the nod from Regional Council to run buses in Wellington.

Why? Because they pay drivers $17.68 per

hour to shoulder the responsibility of driving half-million dollar vehicles with 50+ passengers on board.

It’s little wonder there’s a driver shortage.

It makes my blood boil to see the way drivers and commuters have been treated.

Arrogant, out-of-touch regional

councillors don’t want to be held accountable and need to be removed.

I want to see a city council-controlled organisation take responsibility for our city’s transport system.

EYE ON CRIME

Huntleigh Apartments selling now

In Johnsonville last week an offender visited a charity shop in Johnsonville Road and asked the counter attendant if they had a box for donations.

The attendant held up a plastic bucket from behind the counter in the belief that the enquirer wanted to make a donation.

The man grabbed the bucket and ran from the shop, knocking over a lady who was standing in his way. He ran down an alley and into the Mall carpark.

Community Police have recovered the donation bucket and have identified the culprit who is to be charged over the offences.

He also faees charges in relation to an earlier incident the same day when he entered a motel in Burgess Road and was

recorded on CCTV roaming around the corridors on various levels. He was seen to take items from the closed reception desk.

In Khandallah a white Mitsubishi Lancer saloon parked overnight in Mandalay Terrace was stolen.

In Crofton Downs a silver Toyota Hiace van parked overnight in Admiralty Street had both front and rear registration plates stolen. The offender taking the plates had replaced them with a mismatched pair stolen from other vehicles.

In Kaiwharawhara Road a Porsche Cayman sports car was broken into via a smashed right front window.

A power tool, sun and reading glasses and a radar detector were stolen.

Three faiths, one message

By Lauren Simpson

Reverend Ryhan Prasad from Khandallah Presbyterian Church has welcomed Rabbi Eliot Baskin from the USA and Ustad Oji Fahruroji from Indonesia to Wellington as part of 1000 Abrahamic Circles.

The global initiative, which strives to foster understanding between Christianity, Judaism and Islam has moved into its second phase in New Zealand, after visiting Denver in the first week.

Rev Ryhan, dressed in clothing from all three religions, spoke about what he learned from the

trip thus far at Sunday’s service in Khandallh.

“The yarmulke and the prayer shawl are not symbols that I have converted to Judaism or Islam,” says Rev Ryhan. “What they are is recognition that different faiths have different ways of worshiping.”

“It seems to me that the main goal of interfaith relations should be this; that our voices, our moderate voices, should be heard a lot more than the radicalised ones.

“Out of our three faiths of Christianity, Judaism and Islam what are the two words we would use to represent them?” Asked Rev Ryhan.

“Love and peace. If you hold on to those two words, then you will be a big change maker in this world.”

Rabbi Eliot and Ustad Oji will not only experience Christianity but how all the faiths practiced in New Zealand.

“ We a r e g o i n g t o Christchurch, to the mosque where the tragedy was, and I was reading the remarks of the Imam which were filled with reconciliation and forgiveness,” says Rabbi Eliot.

“If a white supremacist attacked my family and loved ones I’d be filled with bitterness, so to see this is quite remarkable.”

Ustad Oji says the three faiths may have differences but they ultimately share the same values. “The goal is to understand each other, and through understanding we can have love and peace.”

Last week NZ Post and Kiwibank appeared again before a parliamentary select committee to face questions on the proposed changes to services in Johnsonville.

NZ Post plans to partner with a local business to continue to provide the full suite of postal and bill payment services.

Kiwibank proposes to close its physical presence locally, retaining services through phone and internet banking, with the closest branches to be in the city and Lower Hutt.

Rev Ryhan Prasad, Ustad Oki Fahruroji and Rabbi Eliot Baskin gathered at Khandallah Presbyerian Church PHOTO: Lauren Simpson.

Some peak hour services cancelled Metlink has released details of a range of temporary peak bus changes which the organisation announces will provide customers with certainty over the next six months while Tranzurban addresses its driver shortage.

Starting on August 25, 10 routes will see some trips suspended in the morning and afternoon peak with customers given advanced warning through the Metlink website and app detailing the trips affected, alternate travel times and alternate services where available.

Local routes affected with the temporary peak hours suspensions include 19e–Porirua, thorough Johnsonville to Wellington; 24–Johnsonville through Broadmeadows to Miramar and 26, Khandallah-Ngaio-Brandon Street.

The local route suspended since April 2019 which will continue to be suspended is 34 – Karori West to Brandon Street.

Barbara Donaldson, chair of Greater Wellington’s sustainable transport committee, says the

temporary suspensions will enable Tranzurban to deliver the best possible service to customers with the drivers they currently have.

“The past few weeks have been an uncertain time for customers across the network not being sure if their trip will happen or not.”

She adds that Metlink expects that customers travelling at alternate times and on alternate services during the morning and afternoon peak will result in fuller buses with customers having to stand more.

While there is no question that commercial realities will strongly influence their decisions - decisions which must be made independent of political interference – it’s puzzling that Kiwibank would remain so insistent on removing its physical branch presence in the highest growth area of Wellington.

To exit from the area hands an advantage to their rivals.

I have previously encouraged Kiwibank to take another

It’s a shame Kiwibank can’t seem to see the same opportunity.

Having questioned them both on their proposals previously, I asked what they are doing to support their staff during this protracted period of uncertainty. Both offered assurances that staff are being supported well, including potential employment prospects following the store closures.

They both also committed to retaining services in the current location until NZ Post has found a suitable partner to take over their services.

Inside the Waitohi Community Hub Library Waitohi name gifted The name Waitohi was gifted to the Johnsonville Library in 2010 by mana whenua on behalf of

Taranaki Wh nui ki te Upoko o te Ika and Ng ti Toa Rangatira and comes from the Waitohi stream,

the old name of the Nga Uranga (Ngauranga) stream.

Waitohi café contract awarded The former operator of Clark’s Café in the Central Library building, before it closed in March, will operate the new Waitohi Community Hub café when it opens to the public this summer.

It was announced this week that Jim Huy, who managed the central library café for 10 years, has been awarded the contract.

Jim says this will be his sole café operation, offering

breakfast and lunch. “ I ’m c o m m i t t e d t o it being the best café in the nor ther n suburbs.

“It will be the new local.

The vibrant heart of the northern suburbs,” he says.

Wellington City Council Libraries and Communities Spaces manager Laurinda Thomas says a very competitive process was run from March to July with 13 expressions of interest received.

The two beams stretching across what will be the children’s area of the library will be used as an opportunity to create innovative nooks for the children.

Sam Turner and Sarah Livingston, external project managers for the almost-completed Waitohi Community Hub, were checking out progress on the building on Monday morning.

Victoria Barton-Chapple, media specialist with the Wellington City Council, was inspired to try a mean air guitar riff in the new library’s recording studio.

On the Moorefield Road side of the Waitohi precinct, workers have been installing the bus hub at the front of the building. The Greater Wellington Regional Council has co-ordinated with the construction timetable to enable the bus hub and Waitohi to open at the same time.

Meet at the water cooler…

Sue Brown knows what it is to work from home and feel disconnected.

As well as being Minister at Ngaio Union Church, Sue works from home in her own one-woman commercial law business.

“When you work in an office, you’re around people you can bounce ideas off, find support from or just pass the time of day with,” says Sue. “But when you’re tucked away in your own office at home, there’s no one. “Distractions are everywhere and focus can be lost. And there’s no morning tea, five minute quiz or Christmas fun either…” she adds sadly.

And she’s guessing there are many more people who find the same thing, beavering away from home throughout Ngaio and the northern suburbs.

“So, we’re inviting anyone who works from home – freelancers, consultants, contractors, artists – to join us every Thursday for coffee, cookies, quizzes but, more crucially, to make connections with other people like you.” From August 29 Sue and her team at Ngaio Union will be opening their space on Thursdays from 10.30am and calling the initiative The Water Cooler.

“It’s somewhere to gather, to exchange ideas and to make connections.”

“We’re hoping people will build community and friendships. We can’t wait to see what happens!” adds Ngaio Union member Kate Spencer – a performance poet and producer who also works from home in Ngaio.

“We’re looking at a koha model for this,” says Sue. “Just drop by

Bus stop part of a GWRC plan Questions have been asked about the appearance of this new bus stop outside the Kiwibank and TAB premises in Johnsonville Road.

Critics point out it has removed several parking spaces, but they have seen no buses stopping there.

Greater Wellington Regional Council denies this, with a spokesperson saying the stop is currently being used by a number of commercial bus services.

“We understand locals’ request for more parking in this area, but as part of Wellington’s bus network, GWRC is currently working to provide new bus stops on Moorefield Road as part of the bus hub in Johnsonville.

“Until this work is completed, the bus stop located outside the Post Office on Johnsonville Road will remain in place,” the spokesperson says.

“Come and meet at the water cooler!” says Sue Brown minister at the Ngaio Union Church, which from August 29, is starting a weekly sessions each Thursday for those who work from home. PHOTO: Glenise Dreaver.

And, she says: “Who knows, if

there’s enough demand, perhaps The Water Cooler will grow into a morning’s shared working space.

“Why not bring along your laptop and test our bandwidth?”

The first Water Cooler will be on Thursday August 29 at Ngaio Union, on the corner of Crofton Road and Kenya Street.

The Ministry of Health has announced new guidelines for the control of tuberculosis, which were developed by national experts and co-ordinated by Environmental Science and Research, updating 2010 guidelines, and building on best clinical and public health practice internationally.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) identifies TB as one of the top ten causes of death worldwide.

New Zealand is classified by the WHO as having a low incidence of TB, but the disease is still recognised as a public health threat.

ESR monitors TB on behalf of the Ministry of Health as part of its

surveillance of notifiable diseases.

According to the surveillance data, from 2008 to 2017 New Zealand averaged 300 cases per year.

ESR Public Health Physician Jill Sherwood says the Auckland District Health Board had the highest rates of new cases of TB in 2017 followed by Counties Manukau.

“The data shows TB rates were highest among adults aged 20 -29, however no age is exempt.”

Dr Sherwood says although most TB cases in 2017 were reported in people who were born overseas, among cases born in New Zealand, Maori experience a higher rate of disease.

ESR surveillance shows that antimicrobial-resistant TB is an additional threat, especially among cases born overseas.

Dr Ayesha Verrall who co-ordinated the writing of the guidelines for ESR, says significant effort is currently applied throughout the health sector in identifying and treating TB, investigating and managing case contacts, and in preventing the spread of the disease.

“The guidelines is a distillation of the evidence on best practice which will support the system to know where our future efforts are going to be best placed”.

Introducing the use of hospital-grade imaging technology, Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), as part of every comprehensive eye exam at Specsavers Johnsonville will allow for earlier and more accurate detection of vision threatening eye diseases including glaucoma, age-related macular

degeneration and diabetic eye disease for residents.

Optometrist Partner Defini Tau’alupe-Tai says, “We want to eliminate avoidable vision loss and blindness in Johnsonville and believe that everyone should receive a comprehensive eye disease screening as standard, not just those patients

with clinical indications.”

“Many customers don’t realise that an eye test is more than just checking vision and if you need glasses. While that is always an element, an eye test is actually an important health check that even people with good vision should have at least once every two years.”

Nutrition is the key to so much of your wellbeing!

Your eyes are priceless and they’re always changing An Eye Health Check with an OCT scan helps detect early signs of eye conditions like:

• Glaucoma • Diabetic eye disease • Macular degeneration This allows them to be treated earlier and prevent potential vision loss. The best part: it’s included at no extra cost.

Measles prevention PACKAGING and control measures Fill your own container HTIME YOGA New Zealand was verified by the World Health Organization as having eliminated endemic measles and rubella in October 2017. The more than 480 cases of measles reported so far in 2019 have stemmed from travellers bringing the disease from overseas.

At a meeting last month, the National Verification Committee for Measles and Rubella Elimination (NVC) warned that New Zealand's elimination status was at risk, as a result of multiple measles importations, and low rates of domestic immunity in some groups. It also considers that the current situation in New Zealand could become a threat for other countries in the Pacific region.

The NVC provides expert advice on the prevention and control of measles and rubella, including verification of their elimination.

“The Ministry’s immediate priority is to ensure that our national immunisation schedule remains on track. This will prevent immunity gaps developing in the future.

"We know that people aged between 12 and 32 years have lower rates of immunisations than young children so are less likely to be protected against these diseases. The MMR vaccine is free for anyone under 50 who has not had two documented doses and is available nationwide from your General Practice.

"Because measles is so contagious, imported cases spread particularly quickly among unimmunised people. If you’re travelling overseas you should make sure you’re fully immunised against measles before you go," The Ministry's Director of Public Health, Dr Caroline McElnay Source: Ministry of Health says.

Wellington Police run art competition We l l i n g t o n P o l i c e District Custody Unit (DCU) is running an art competition where the winning entries will be used to cover the hall walls in the cell block.

E nt r ie s a r e op en t o anyone throughout New Zealand, not just Wellingtonians and prize money is up for grabs.

The idea for the competition came from the supervisor of the DCU, Sen ior Sergea nt St u Taylfor th, who says: “It is important that we hold people accountable for their behaviour but we need to change the prisoner experience and support them to change their behaviours.

“The theme for the art competition is ‘Awhi’, which means help and to embrace in Maori.

“Awhi is the name of a referral program that is being introduced into the Wellington District

to help people and prevent them from becoming a statistic,” he says.

“If people need help with alcohol or drug addiction a referral will be made to the right agencies, “he says, adding that all entries should focus on artwork that make the custody unit safer for staff by improving the prisoner experience, re duci ng st ress, a nd breaking down barriers.

“We want to engage with prisoners and support them to change their behaviours. How entrants to the art competition decide to interpret that in an artistic way, is up to them,” he says.

The competition is being suppor ted by the Wellington City Council and The Police Leaders Guild.

Go to art.competition. we l l i n g t o n @ p o l i c e . govt.nz for more information.

The challenge from Wellington Police is to enter their competition to fill the bare cell walls with prize-winning art. PHOTO provided.

Portrait artist in residence in Karori

By Deirdra McMenamin

Portrait artist Flit Priest, a residency in Karori.

PHOTO: Deirdra McMenamin.

Artist Felicity Priest, or Flit as she is affectionately known, is undertaking a month-long residency in Karori.

Originally English, this nationallyknown and talented portrait artist emigrated to New Zealand in the early 2000’s as part of a formidable family enclave of artists.

Daughter Tessa Priest led the way: a poet, artist and drama teacher with a new book eagerly awaited. Son Julian is, she says “an artist spaceman” whose subject matter is on the edge where science, time and space meet.

a much sought-after graphic artist whose work graces the coffee tables, design magazines and galleries of Europe.

Then there are the grandchildren …

It was during an artist residency in Angkor Watt Cambodia, surrounded by beautiful stone temples and tragic history, that Flit decided she wanted to work closely with living breathing people, to interact with them “because everybody is different”.

“There is always something lovable or likable to be found even in the most difficult,” she says.

She feels very much in the here and now in Karori, after successfully returning to her portraiture roots

from England where she built a strong presence.

She is fascinated by what makes people tick and that’s facilitated by the painting, adding that it is like being an alchemist “My main aim is to reveal the essence of the person, not just the likeness.

“There are many reasons to have a portrait painted: to mark an anniversary or big event, a record of children at a certain age.

“Or often it is a celebration of the life of a person, or to mark the recovery from a serious illness.”

“It’s a very convivial process and people often leave with a feeling of elation,” Flit adds.

Local cast members in challenging musical Four young women from the Karori/Kelburn/Northland area, including the two lead females, feature in the latest Stagecraft Theatre production.

Bare - A Pop Opera, a contemporary new musical, opens at the end of this month.

It’s set in a Catholic boarding school, and it follows a group of high school seniors as they struggle to come to terms with who they are and who the world thinks they should be.

It deals with some relevant and challenging themes, including drug use, teen pregnancy, sexuality, body image, bullying, suicide and other issues.

Seventeen-year-old Stacey Dalziel of Karori plays the major role of Nadia.

A third-generation Stagecraft cast member, though in her first production, she says of Nadia: “She is so complex, she’s struggling so much with her self-image.

“I’ve also struggled with self-image issues so making the line clear between me and Nadia has been a huge challenge.”

She is also an aspiring songwriter who released her own first album on Soundcloud earlier in the year.

The other three local cast members in the seventeen-strong cast include uni student Tara Goulding-Weston-Webb, like Stacey from Karori. She plays Ivy, while 24-year old Jessica Cooper from Northland, a Wellington College teacher of drama and English, has the supporting role of Diane.

Nineteen-year-old first year uni-

versity student, Molly Cuneen of Kelburn, plays a supporting character.

Director Aaron Blackledge warns that the production is not for the fainthearted.

“Bare will appeal to anyone who cares about social issues affecting young people or who wants to enjoy a rocky, modern musical that’s a bit different to what most people would consider

to be musical theatre and shakes things up with songs like Plain Jane, Fat Ass, Birthday Bitch and God Don’t Make No Trash.

Bare runs at the Gryphon Theatre, 22 Ghuznee Street

from Wednesday August 28 to Saturday September 7, excluding Monday September 2.

To check times and book tickets, go to iTicket and search for Bare.

Wairarapa

Tickets open for garden tour of North Wairarapa Tickets for Pūkaha’s much loved annual Spring Wairarapa garden tour go on sale today, 10am. There are a limited number of tickets, so it’s a case of ‘fi rst in fi rst served’. Earlybirds will be rewarded with a reduced ticket price.

Earlybird tickets are excellent value at $45 each. This gets you a ticket to the tour which will feature more than a dozen gorgeous gardens in north Wairarapa on 9 & 10 November 2019. General admission tickets will be available at $55 each once Earlybirds have sold out.

This year’s tour features eight new gardens. One of these is an astonishing tropical oasis of 100 palm trees - a surprising fi nd in frost-prone Masterton.

“Palm Haven is one garden you have to see to believe”, says tour organiser Rachael Dell.

There will be returning favourites like Tarata, a woodland garden with a unique stand of remnant Totara forest that visitors can explore via meandering paths.

Just down the road will be newcomer Totara Cottage featuring a young and lovingly tended potager garden.

2019 celebrates nine years of Pūkaha’s garden tour. An added bonus for garden ticket holders this year is a free visit to

Dursley Garden Pūkaha.

Pūkaha’s intention is to grow the event.

Thanks to a new collaboration with ConArt (Container Gallery and Studios), unique garden art pieces will also be available to purchase on 9 & 10 November.

Locally sourced and home-made refreshments will be available in selected gardens, or BYO picnics are welcome in some gardens. There’ll also be plenty of garden delights to buy: locally propagated plants, garden sculptures and pots plus treats for the gardener in your life.

Tickets available from wairarapagardentour.co.nz Local i-sites can help with purchasing tickets, along with the Carterton Events Centre, and Pūkaha’s visitor centre.

Ten O’Clock Cookie Bakery Cafe is family “A near on perfect” pie is what won a Gold Medal for Ten o’Clock Cookie Bakery Cafe, a family run business in Masterton, for the annual NZ Supreme Pie Competition run by Bakels NZ. Every year the bakery enters the awards in hopes of receiving the anticipated phone call to see if they’ve placed gold in the prestigious competition and this year the gold flowed through the airwaves on hearing they placed first in the Gourmet Fruit section for their Black Forest Pie. Chocolate shortcrust pastry surrounds the most decadent

lightly spiced cherry filling. Dollops of vanilla infused mascarpone and cherry liqueur infused mascarpone are piped on top of an intricate lattice top with dark chocolate ganache between each of the creamy mounds.

Finished with a chocolate pastry lattice ring and a flake of gold. Creator of the pie Caleb Kloeg tried to push the boundaries of the classic fruit pie with something a little more refined and it seemed to pay off, wowing the judges on both first glance as well as taste and texture. The Gold Award Pie is available daily till sold out.

Daffodils signal festival fun in Carterton There is plenty of fun to be had at the annual Carterton Daffodil Festival next month, on Sunday 8 September.

Located in the heart of the Wairarapa, Carterton’s popular Festival offers an abundance of activities ranging from the famous Daffodil picking at Middlerun, Street Markets, Horse Drawn Surrey Rides, the Big Wai Art Sale in the Events Centre and loads more.

What is now for many a time-honoured tradition, the festival includes the picking of daffodils at Middle Run, a historic property at Gladstone. There will be free buses throughout the day starting at 10am from Broadway Street, to shuttle people to and from Middlerun. A small fee is charged to pick the daffodils with all proceeds going to the local charities Plunket and St John.

The festival’s Street Markets boasts dozens of stalls featuring local arts & crafts, yummy treats, children’s rides and live entertainment.

This year’s Festival will also see the welcome return of the Daffodil Express, an historic steam train that brings visitors from Wellington. Operated by Steam Incorporated, the train will depart Wellington Rail-

Toby Stokes, Crofton Downs Primary School At Crofton Downs Primary School we value every child and their unique nature.

It is a place of learning, exploring, creating and thinking.

We emphasise developing the whole student, treating them as individuals and this is reflected in the way we teach throughout the school. Our teachers prioritise authentic and engaging learning opportunities that are child centred and developmentally appropriate.

We provide a play-based teaching and

learning environment for children in the Junior Pod. This contributes positively to a child’s sense of well-being, enhancing their natural capacity for intense and self-motivated learning. We are really excited to be leading this learning at Crofton Downs.

Our Middle and Senior students are further supported towards independence, through self-directed tasks and choices in how they demonstrate their learning.

Toby Stokes, the Principal of CDPS,

says, “Our community is really supportive of our school and help to make it a great place to be.” www.croftondownsprimary.school.nz Ph: 04 479 2429

Narelle Umbers, Samuel Marsden Collegiate School Ms Narelle Umbers, Samuel Marsden Collegiate School Principal, is an innovative educational leader with a passion for developing young women. “It is both an honour and a privilege to lead the Marsden community.

2019 is an exciting year. In partnership with Positive Psychology expert Professor Lea Waters we have introduced the Visible WellbeingTM approach, being the first school in New Zealand to do so. The Visible WellbeingTM initiative, implemented at more than 100 schools internationally, is modelled on strength-based science and positive psychology, and is woven through all classes and co-curricular activities. “It’s working to en-

hance student wellbeing beyond being ‘OK’ or ‘good’ - we want our students to thrive and prevent mental illness from occurring in the first place,” says Narelle. Marsden is already well-known for its pastoral care, and Narelle says the new approach will build students’ skills for positive mental health, to use now and well beyond school. Visible WellbeingTM provides a framework that is embedded across all levels, Pre-school to Year 13, and across all subjects and co-curricular activities to enhance wellbeing now and into the future. Research has shown that students who function better mentally also learn better. Marsden continues to provide a rich

future-focussed curriculum for girls and the benefits of an all-girls education at Marsden are evident. “The confidence and self-belief girls develop through an all-girls’ education at Marsden prepares them to take their place in an exciting future”, says Narelle.

Graeme Yule, Headmaster Scots College Headmaster Graeme Yule joined Scots College in 2007, and has seen the impact the changing workplace, technology and globalization has had on education over this time. To ensure students are best prepared to thrive both now and in their futures Scots has implemented a future focussed education across its three schools; Prep (Boys, Years 1-6), Middle (boys, Years 7-10) and Senior (co-ed from 2020, Years 11-13).

As an IB World School interdisciplinary and project based learning and teach-

ing are embedded in the curriculum for students from Year 1 to 13. For Year 11 students the recently implemented Year 11 course is specifically designed to concentrate on learning and the development of key transferable skills. In addition, Scots Senior School changes to become co-educational next year, providing an excellent educational environment where students are encouraged to realise their potential and build the foundations to best prepare them to take their place in the wider community of men and women.

Principal

Steve Bryan, St Catherine Steve Bryan joined St Catherine’s College in February 2018. He has extensive experience in education and was previously Principal of Sacred Heart College Napier for eight years.

At St Catherine’s College we pride ourselves on our special character as a Catholic Mercy School. We are committed to treating each young woman as an individual, supporting and nurturing her gifts and talents.

Our family atmosphere creates a strong sense of belonging and community whilst

our students consistently achieve well above the national average in all NCEA qualifications.

Whilst welcoming international exchange students from many countries such as Japan, China, Korea, Thailand and Hong Kong we also provide technology classes to students from several of our local Catholic primary schools.

Our school was further enhanced in 2017 when we opened our extensive new building which added several modern learning spaces to our facilities.

A St Catherine’s College graduate is a compassionate and confident young woman who is prepared for an ever-changing world.

Neal Swindells, St Patrick’s College (Town) This is my 6th year as Rector at St Patrick’s College. I have an extensive background in boys education at a number of state and integrated schools. My passion is working with staff and parents to develop the talents of students and to see our students grow from boys to good young men.

St Patrick’s College has been a key part of the Wellington education community for 134 years and is constantly looking at how we can improve. Our boys love their College and are proud to

wear the blue and white uniform. Our core values are Faith, Manaakitanga, Achievement, Hauora and Integrity. We provide strong academic programmes that embrace digital technology, a huge variety of sports and cultural opportunities where students can strive to excel or just enjoy participating. All of this is underpinned by our Catholic Faith, service to others and a strong sense of helping each student be the best they can be.

Our expectation is that our leavers will go on to be leaders in the community.

Sectare Fidem: Hold firm to the Faith.

Kent Favel, St Mark’s Church School Kent Favel is the Principal of St Mark’s Church School which is the only co-educational Independent School in Wellington, educating boys and girls from Preschool right through to Year 8. Based at the Basin Reserve, St Mark’s is an International Baccalaureate World School offering the Primary Years Programme. St Mark’s has always been a co-educational school, and this is something which

Kent proudly believes in. “Co-educational schools reflect the diversity of our society. This is boys and girls, learning and working together just like the world we live in”. St Mark’s is such a special place to Kent that this is his second time working at the school.

He was Deputy Principal from 2002 to 2006, and then returned as Principal, a role he has held since 2011.

“St Mark’s is amazing,” he says. “It is

such a privilege to be part of a school that wants the best for everyone”.

Clifford Wicks, Otari School Clifford Wicks has been enjoying the challenge of leading a school with a unique structure and special nature since 2002. Otari School is comprised of three strands: an Original strand, delivering The New Zealand Curriculum, a Māori Immersion strand, delivering Te Marautanga o Aotearoa and a Montessori strand, also delivering the New Zealand curriculum in conjunction with a Montessori syllabus.

The Mixed-aged groups are a valued feature of classrooms.

Nestled next to the Otari-Wilton’s Bush the school is overlooked by bush-clad

hills. The close proximity to the Reserve allows access to the ngahere, enhancing learning in a variety of ways, especially the Environmental Education programme.

Whānau cherish the close-knit culture that exists and the overarching, embedded value of ‘whanaungatanga’, embracing the concepts of relationships and connectedness.

Otari School is known for the values it fosters within the students, as well as for the sound learning programmes that result in consistently high academic achievement. The emphasis placed on social and

emotional development, alongside rich, purposeful learning experiences, contributes to the development of confident, caring successful young people.

SPORT Sports talk

23

with Jacob Page

World Cup worries intensify The All Blacks are not winning the World Cup. At least not on that performance last Saturday.

The Scott Barrett red card was fair enough, you can’t make contact with the head, but there’s a bigger picture as to why the All Blacks lost.

There was no cohesion, the

men in black were out-passioned, out-muscled and out-thought.

If coach Steve Hansen has something up his sleeve, now would be the time to show it.

Rugby commentator Grant Nisbett called the 47-26 defeat as a hiding and it was.

The All Blacks don’t look menacing in the forwards and

they look rudderless in attack.

The Richie Mo’unga and Beauden Barrett experiment is not working.

Captain Kieran Read said defensively his team was poor as was the discipline.

It appears Hansen and Co, which includes the supposed next coach Ian Foster, may have taken

this team as far as they can.

A loss like that can only do the coaching aspirations of Crusaders’ head honcho, Scott Robertson’s stocks the world of good.

The whole balance of the team looks off-kilter and the efforts to patch up the shortcomings don’t appear to be working.

Ben Smith is wasted on the

wing and Read, while improved, is well short of his best.

It’s been a golden era of rugby in this country for more than a decade but it looks like the gloss is going away.

If the All Blacks aren’t careful, the Bledisloe Cup may go as well on Saturday at Eden Park.

Wellington United teeters on relegation

By Grant Stephen

The Men’s Central Football League was decided in emphatic fashion on Sunday when Western Suburbs thrashed a helpless Wellington United side 15-0 at Endeavour Park.

Wests scored at will throughout the match and scooped up the title with one round to play and a five point buffer over second place Napier City Rovers.

It will all come down to the final round this weekend as to whether Wellington United or Wairarapa United will head to the relegation departure gates with both sides locked on three points out of 17 games.

Wellington United are the lowest ranked team though with a goal difference of negative 109 over Wairarapa’ s negative 56 goals.

North Wellington’s match against Stop Out was not quite as exciting at Alex Moore Park on Saturday afternoon but had its share of mystery and intrigue all the same.

Stop Out stamped their dominance in just the fourth minute with a deflected free kick that wrong-footed North’s Sacha Nathu who could only watch the ball dawdle over the goal line. It took half an hour for Jessie Randall to square things up in what

was a gritty tussle that wouldn’t win any marks for a showpiece encounter.

The small crowd braving the elements was stunned when Stop Out’s skipper was sent off for challenging the referee’s decision.

There seemed to be nothing in it at all and both sets of supporters were left bemused by the outcome.

Twenty minutes into the second half the genius of Luis Corrales shone through when he expertly chipped the North’s keeper with little room to move to make it 2-1 to Stop Out. Despite being down to 10 men, Stop Out looked the dominant side and played with far more fluidity. That didn’t stop North’s locking up the game for a final score of two all thanks to a Jordan Martens header in the 70th minute.

Ironically it was a case of poacher turning keeper just on full time when Martens donned the goal keeping gloves for North Wellington following Nathu being directed to an early shower after also raising a query with the referee and paying the ultimate price for what seemed another innocuous exchange of pleasantries.

The curtain raiser between the two clubs in the Capital 1 League ended up in a comfortable 2-0 win for Norths with a brace to

Luke Grindlay. A surprise win to Tawa over Seatoun means that North Wellington has a two point lead in the league with two matches to play.

In other matches in the Central League, Miramar Rangers were

too good for Wairarapa United winning 3-1, Napier City Rovers travelled to Lower Hutt and won a tightly contested match 4-3 and Wellington Olympic did just enough at home to win 1-0 over Waterside Karori.
