Centenary beckons

By Jacob Page

A century of friendship, faith and family will be celebrated in Johnsonville next weekend as Saints Peter and Paul’s Church marks one hundred years since the establishment of the Johnsonville Parish.

Judy McCormack spent three months compiling and writing a history of the Parish.

“I wanted to preserve the stories of the people and also record the factual details of the church like the parish boundaries, the buildings and the priests who served the people.”

Church evolves with Johnsonville through the years Continued from page 1.

Judy says she found the information in the church archives that were stored at the church.

Judy is grateful to the colleague who sorted all the pieces of information and put them into an order which made her task so much easier.

She also talked with people and listened to their stories.

“I wrote every day because I wanted the book to be available for the celebration.”

Judy says one of her favourite discoveries was finding a handwritten letter from one of the first priests who travelled by horse and cart from Lower Hutt to get to the Johnsonville church on a Sunday.

He then decided with the potholes and the traffic from the Trentham races and the fact that his horse would get spooked by the few motor cars that were on the road in those days, that he would buy a motorbike to make things easier.

The first church was built in 1895 and the current building is the third on the site.

In 1922 Saints Peter and Paul’s which was part of the Lower Hutt Parish became a parish in its own right in

Johnsonville. At the time the parish extended from Pauatahanui to Ngaio so the minister who came over in his horse and cart had to travel over all those places.

The parish is quite a key part of early Johnsonville.

“Today it’s a lively, multicultural meeting place with a good mix of older people and young families,” Judy says.

The present church and the way it looks today is because the builders in the parish rolled up their sleeves and got stuck in during the 1970s to extend and build a new church/hall complex. The people have always been actively involved in the parish.

“We are now in the fourth generation of the original families and many are still part of the parish.

As a community we have remained welcoming, warm and relevant through all these years,” Judy says.

On June 26 at 2.00pm there will be a service in celebration of the milestone and there will be a gathering afterwards.

The book will be available for sale on the day for $20 or can be pre-ordered at bookings@stfrancisohariu.nz

Te Karoria takes shape brick by brick Karori families, individuals and businesses are helping pave the way to success in the building of the new $4.7 million community facility Te Korǀria (The Glory).

Karori family Lucy Ross, Scott Dennison and Clementine Dennison purchased the very first brick in the fundraising initiative “Pave the Way”.

“It’s our small way of supporting a project that will provide much-needed services for this community. We’ve benefitted from the great education and care at the early childhood centre and afterschool so want to give back.

“The project’s new build - the cafe, soft-play and counselling will be social enterprises.

“It’s a model that’s a win-win for everyone.”

St Mary’s has served the people of Karori for generations and

this project will help it carry on this legacy well into the future,” said Lucy.

Their brick will be engraved with the family names and laid in October outside Te Korǀria at 170 Karori Road forming the footpath around the buildings and onto the street front. To date, single bricks at $250 each have been the most popular reported St Mary’s Vicar Ian Cook. People are choosing to engrave dedications to people who have died in remembrance, Bible verses, and family names he said.

One business has purchased 32 bricks to be laid in a logo arrangement. The scheme aims to sell 500 bricks and raise $100,000 towards project costs said Kate Harvey-Green, Karori Anglican Project Manager.

“Pave the Way is an opportunity

to provide financial support as well as demonstrate community support in a lasting way towards the wellbeing of our local community,” she says.

Currently the project is progressing well.

The first element is the demolition of the church’s earthquake prone hall and creation of a new counselling space attached to the existing earthquake strengthened building.

The second element is an entirely new building right on the main Karori Road which will be open to everyone in the community.

“The first building has its roof on, and its internal framing completed, the second building is currently having its structural steel framing installed.

“Both buildings are really taking shape and it is exciting to

see what a great space they will create.

“The final project area is creating outside spaces including a traffic free courtyard,” says Kate.

“Te Kororia will operate as a WhƗnau centre with a three -storied soft play for kids and café at its heart.

“This will provide well-needed respite for carers and parents, particularly in the middle of winter when they are stuck in doors with small children.

“The play/cafe will fit up to seventy people comfortably and the soft play will be sound -proofed, with a quiet lounge provided to relax and meet friends over coffee.”

People can purchase a brick until the end of June 2022, by going to karorianglican.org.nz and completing the online form.

Native plant giveaway Kererū Discovery is holding its annual native plant giveaway in the Zealandia carpark from 11:30am on Saturday.

Native trees and plants will not only enhance the biodiversity of your garden but, also help feed tūī, kākā, kererū and other native bird species.

All of the plants have been locally sourced from the Wellington area and donated by Wellington City Council.

JCA president puts his name forward for council Johnsonville Community Association president, Tony Randle has confirmed he will run for Wellington City Council at the elections in October.

“For me, it’s looking at the council and asking are they on the right track or are they on the wrong and I believe they are on the wrong track,” he says.

“I believe I now have the opportunity to give more to my community at that level,” Tony says.

“I don’t like the apparent influence of party politics in our affairs in things like the cycleways and high density housing.

Tony says Wellington is a diverse city and deserves representation which reflects that.

“I don’t like the one-size fits all approach across the city when our city is more different in parts than any other city in New Zealand.”

He says North Wellington suburbs are coming under increasing pressure both

in infrastructure and population and it needed a strong voice at the council table.

“I’m a pragmatic person, I make decisions based on evidence.”

Tony says the timing is right.

“I’ve had bigger family commitments in the past but now my kids have grown up and I’m more of a free agent now.

“I think I have some smarts and experience that I can add around the table and I believe I can work with others.

“Coming from Johnsonville, I feel our voice has been weak around the table and it is time to change that.

“If the city is determined to put new people here then investment in the Northern Suburbs needs to match that,” he says.

“The Northern Ward is full of blue and white collar workers who want to do their own thing.

“I like living in the suburbs and I want to have that voice around the table.

A special week for Karori Rotary

Three Rotary Club of Karori members beside the predator-free fence at Zealandia – from left David Watt, Krystle Crimmins, and Allan Frazer.

The Rotary Club of Karori will celebrate 40 years of service to the citizens of Wellington and help for people through Rotary projects reaching as far as the South Pacific, on Saturday.

One of its great successes has been a cornerstone of regeneration in Wellington, at Zealandia, the fenced wildlife sanctuary in Karori, centred around what was once the city’s water reservoir.

In 1999, Karori Rotary took the lead and initiated, largely through the efforts of Past Rotary President, Allan Frazer, and other community leaders a fundraising project that involved selling the naming rights to fence posts along the 8.6 kilometre, predator-proof fence constructed as the first stage towards protecting and restoring an area of native forest and biodiversity. The fence post initiative raised nearly $300,000.

In 2003, the club, in collaboration with other Rotary Clubs in Wellington, chaired by Welling-

ton Rotarian and then Mayor of Wellington, Kerry Prendergast, embarked on an ambitious Discovery Area project to build an interpretation display on the old upper dam construction site, which had been a hive of activity between 1906 and 1908.

The project involved incorporating historic relics, rails, bogeys and skips as well as erecting a replica single men’s hut and a gantry tower similar to that used during the dam’s construction.

A magnificent viewing platform over much of the sanctuary was completed by Rotary in 2007.

Close to $200,000 was raised to meet the total cost of the Discovery Area.

The work undertaken by Rotary in Zealandia, together with their support for education programmes led out by staff and community environmental groups has reached out across the globe with high praise from world environmental leaders in many countries.

A twenty plus years partnership between Rotary and Zealandia, working with the Wellington City Council, has resulted in the world’s first fully fenced urban eco-sanctuary, now comprising some 225 hectares in a groundbreaking conservation project that has reintroduced over 20 species of native wildlife back into the area.

Dr Danielle Shanahan, the new Chief Executive of Zealandia, with a strong vision and commitment for future biodiversity projects to further enhance Zealandia, is looking forward to working with the Rotary Club of Karori and other clubs in the Wellington area, to achieve more for this outstanding environment asset in the capital city.

If you want to know more about Karori Rotary and to come and join projects in support of community well-being, please phone Andrea Skews on 022073 5548 or email andrea.skews@gmail.com

An old master painter A two bedroomed state house in Strathmore is an unlikely repository for a substantial collection of art works – mainly acrylic paintings. But there they are, not only arrayed on the walls but many are stacked up to three deep on the furniture.

The artist is 91-year-old Ron Jobson, a retired prison officer who worked mostly at Mt Crawford where conditions were fairly rough, and the pay was less than substantial. Ron, a Geordie, was used to the rough stuff having lived through the air raids on Newcastle on Tyne during WW2. He and his wife moved to Australia in the early 1960s but decided that New Zealand offered them a better future.

Ron had a natural talent for

drawing, starting off at primary school with a pencil and then moving to Indian ink. He remembers that many of his drawings were tacked up around the walls of the classroom, much to the chagrin of the top scholar who could not draw.

He took up painting again as a hobby in the 1970s when his wife encouraged him by buying some oils and canvas, and Ron started walking around his local area looking for scenes and subjects to commit to canvas. He occasionally became so engrossed that he would paint until he finished; but like most artists, Ron is sometimes not completely satisfied with the “finished” work.

He soon switched to acrylics on canvas, or hardboard, or

anything useful that he could paint on. He likes using acrylics as they dry faster which means he can correct the bits he is not satisfied with.

Ron’s range of subjects is extensive – from landscapes, townscapes, ships, still life and portraits, painted from the original and occasionally from memory, to copies of photographs or film posters – you name it. But he also has a flair for copying the paintings of old masters with a particular liking for the Dutch master Johannes Vermeer, with some extras in the Vermeer style but conjured up from his own imagination.

What started out as a hobby became more full-on when he retired in 1995 and moved to

Painting also helped pass the time after his wife died about twelve years ago.

Popular Children’s Programmes return to WINTER HOT BUYS Wellington Libraries The team at Wellington City Libraries is pleased to announce the resumption of its highly popular Children’s Programmes under level Orange of the COVID-19 Protection Framework.

With the exception of a brief period in January, the Children’s Programmes have been largely suspended since August last year due to COVID restrictions.

Multiple events are currently kicking-off, initially at larger branches so new personnel can gain valuable experience working with colleagues to take knowledge back to home libraries and share with their communities.

Laurinda Thomas, Manager Libraries & Community Spaces, says: “After such a long wait, it’s wonderful to be able to bring our Children’s Programmes back into the libraries. At all times we will adhere to New Zealand Government COVID guidelines to make our libraries a safe place for children, caregivers and our staff.

“We will be continuing, as far as possible, to encourage physical distancing between groups of attendees, and it remains mandatory for anyone 12 years of age and over to wear a mask. In addition, we will carefully clean the spaces and equipment that are used for the programmes between each session.”

Stephen Clothier, Children & Youth Services Coordinator at Wellington City Libraries says: “We are so excited to be welcoming back our Storytimes and other events for our tamariki and their whƗnau.”

The Children’s Programmes cover all ages, starting with Baby Rock and Rhyme, a fun session for parents and carers to interact with their babies through songs and stories.

For children a little older, Preschool Storytime inspires children aged 2 – 4 years with interactive stories, songs, and rhymes to grow their love of literacy. Through stories and play, children learn how to express themselves and understand the world around them.

Meanwhile, at Kǀhunga Kǀrero children aged 2 - 6 years and their caregivers learn stories, rhymes and songs in te reo MƗori.

Children aged 5+ and their caregivers can put their creative skills to the test to design and build LEGO™ masterpieces in Let’s Go LEGO™. Each session has a different theme and building challenge, which spark natural curiosity.

Social Board Games afternoons are also returning to libraries. Whether newbies or board game aficionados of any age, people can choose from a wide selection of board games, or bring their own to share!

Playlists of special storytimes and Baby Rock and Rhyme can be found on the Libraries’ YouTube channel, thanks to the generosity of New Zealand publishers throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.

In addition, the Johnsonville Library Facebook page is a great place to find videos for sensory activities, as well as musical and crafty sessions to keep your little ones engaged.

For more information on the Children’s Programmes at Wellington City Libraries, keep an eye on the event calendar and social media platforms to keep up to date with programmes resuming at the various Library branches.

Q: What is your go-to favourite food during winter and why?

Milinda Higgins

SOUP! It’s delicious, versatile and you can pack it with hearty nutrition for winter!

Love it.

Guinness Beer and slow cooked Beef Back ribs.

I can not say why, just that it is!

Lentil soup made from my partner Donna with fried “Craft paté” pork sausage – simple and tasty! Don’t forget the glass of organic red wine.

Homemade Tomato Soup.

Preserved late summer and ready for chilly days. It’s refreshing and heart-warming.

My ‘go-to’ favourite food during winter is anything that goes well with wine which is anything. It’s my favourite food for the rest of the year as well.

Lasagne. It always hits the spot and the leftovers are just as delicious too. Good winter comfort food.

This new exhibition blends the past with the present and future, showing how events in our city’s history ripple across time, explains Senior Curator Ian Wards.

Wellington Museum will launch Te Whanganui-a-Tara, a new exhibition exploring the natural and cultural landscape of Wellington’s history.

A taste of home at Wellington Museum Wellington Museum has launched Te Whanganui-a-Tara, a new exhibition exploring the natural and cultural landscape of Wellington’s history.

Bearing the MƗori name for Wellington Harbour, this exhibition showcasing the capital city of Aotearoa has been developed in collaboration with mana whenua and Wellington-based artists, creatives and scientists.

Inviting visitors to explore their own history and reflect upon their place within Wellington, this exhibition is about the people as much as it is about the city. Aimed to provoke

thought and spark conversations, Te Whanganui-a-Tara is playful, interactive and full of surprises.

Significant events in Wellington’s history are celebrated, including a large-scale timeline beginning at Te Orokohanga (creation). From the explorations of the Polynesian navigator Kupe and the Haowhenua earthquake circa 1460 AD, right through to the memorable Absolutely Positively Wellington campaign which started back in 1991, and the Covid-19 pandemic our city is still navigating today.

A highlight of Te Whanganui-aTara, is the carpet flooring which

maps out the city in such great detail that most Wellingtonians can spot their flat or family home or, for out-of-towners, the hotel they’re staying at.

This new exhibition blends the past with the present and future, showing how events in our city’s history ripple across time, explains Senior Curator Ian Wards.

“It’s celebrating what is quintessentially Wellington. The past few decades have been our golden age here in Pǀneke and we are thrilled to display its rich and vibrant history.

From works by Wellington based artists Xoë Hall, Derek Cowie and

Ariki Brightwell, to wind turbine interactives, this is an exhibition for local and tourists alike,” he says.

Te Whanganui-a-Tara also features an interactive station to help visitors create their own pepeha, which they can use to introduce themselves in te reo MƗori, and leave greetings for other museum-goers.

Incorporating visitors into the exhibition, and reflecting on who we are and where we come from is a big part of Te Whanganui-a-Tara, says Senior Curator Taonga MƗori, Lawrence Wharerau.

“There is the sense that our lives are built on those that have lived

here before, and that we are mapping the way for the future. History is made everyday and this exhibition acknowledges that.

“It is an introduction to Te Whanganui-a-Tara but it also offers the opportunity to contemplate ourselves, our histories, and where we belong.”

Te Whanganui-a-Tara also includes a number of recently collected items under the banner ‘We Collect Wellington’’, part of the Museum team’s programme of actively collecting things that tell the story of the city and its people.

Entry is free, visit Wellingtonmuseum.nz for more information.

STEAM INCORPORATED’S 50TH YEAR In 2022, Steam Incorporated is celebrating its 50th year as an Incorporated Society. Please join with us in 2022 in a series of special anniversary events to commemorate the work that a small group of people embarked on in 1972, and what so many others have maintained through the last 50 years.

We thank you for all of your continued support. Created in collaboration with our friends at Kapiti Signs, we will be running a special anniversary Tail Board on the back of all of our excursion trains this year.

We look forward to seeing you sometime in ’22 to help make our 50th one to remember.

Sport groups demand grounds and facility cost review Candidates for Council elections in the Wellington region will be inundated by sports players and parents over the coming months, demanding a review that lowers the costs for the region’s sports grounds and facilities.

Campaign group Affordable Sports for Greater Wellington has announced a mobilisation of sports codes in the region, to end high facility fees and make sports more affordable.

The group has been pulled together by five major codes: Wellington Hockey, Capital Football, Capital Basketball, Cricket Wellington, and Wellington Rugby, as well as College Sport Wellington.

Group Chair Lisa Jones said candidates would be asked by codes,

clubs, players and parents to agree to an immediate review of sport fees, with an intent to lower charges for the region’s major sports organisations.

“They should expect the calls to start soon. This will be the number one issue for 300,000 players and parents – they will vote for candidates that put affordable sport first.

“Councils are making it too expensive to play sport because of the unfair fees to provide and maintain fields, turfs and indoor facilities.

“The rise of the cost of living now makes these fees a real threat to participation in sport. Councils say sport is good for residents’ wellbeing but do nothing to keep fees from going up, it’s now time

for us to do something about it.”

The Wellington region has the most expensive fees in New Zealand for sports, clubs and schools to use Council grounds. Councils charge fees for use of fields in competitions, and fees to clubs for training, and for facilities such as changing rooms.

The high fees make player subs expensive. For example, $99 of $171 of every player’s sub for Capital Football goes to the Council.

They then pay club subscriptions, which include another portion to council for training costs.

Senior College Basketball teams playing at Council venues pay nearly three times more per season than those playing at school venues.

Councils claim to charge codes, clubs and schools only about 15% of what it costs to own and maintain the facilities, but the great variation in fees and models makes it impossible to be sure.

For example, Wellington City Council charges $80/hr for an artificial turf. It claims this is a good deal because it is recovering only 40% of the true cost. Yet this $80/ hr fee is the same as is charged by privately-owned turfs in Petone, Porirua, and Upper Hutt, which are charging 100% of their real cost (including depreciation).

If councils aren’t clear about what they charge sportsground users for, those paying to play could well be subsidising wider recreation activities and events across the region.

Council to return Granville Flats land to Wellington Tenths Trust Wellington City Council and the Wellington Tenths Trust have reached an agreement which will see the Council end its lease of the land currently occupied by the Granville Flats by May 2024.

The Granville Flats were built in the 1960s on land that is owned by the Wellington Tenths Trust. The Council has been leasing the land through perpetual lease from the Trust, and owns the buildings.

The Council supports the Trust’s desire to end the lease, which was confirmed by the Trust’s board on 26 May 2022. Council officers have been working with the Trust over the last few months to finalise details.

The Council will dismantle and remove the buildings, clearing the site before it is returned to the Trust.

The Chairman of the Wellington Tenths Trust, Anaru Smiler said: “this is an historical moment for the Trust and its owners.

The land is part of the original tenths land blocks dating back to the 1839 deed of purchase with the New Zealand Company.

Having full control of our whenua means we can provide better opportunities for our people. It is a momentous occasion…”.

Mayor Andy Foster says: “We support the Trust in their wish to bring the lease to an end. This is in line with our new Tnjpiki Ora MƗori Strategy, approved in May, which explicitly supports a MƗori-led response to uplifting the state of wellbeing of whƗnau, anchored in the whakapapa relationships between people, place and nature.

“It comes at a time when decisions would have to have been made regarding the upgrade of Granville Flats which would have required significant Council investment, including seismic strengthening. Doing nothing was never an option.”

Asthma on your current mattress?

City Housing tenancy advisors have been working closely with all Granville residents today (Wednesday 8 June) to explain the decision and the next steps.

City Housing staff will work with residents to complete a thorough needs assessment to

understand what residents need and want from their future home.

All tenants will be rehoused in alternative Council homes by December 2023, with the Council covering tenants’ moving costs.

the first since 2019 – a further trial was scheduled and held at the ASB Stadium in Wellington at the end of May with 45 athletes in attendance.

Head Coach Jess Huia was thrilled with the outcome of the trial.

“I am really proud that we were able to bring this together in such a short space of time. Coming off of MƗori Netball Nationals in April, there was a real buzz across the motu. COVID has thrown a lot of uncertainty out across the sporting landscape over the last two years. The talent is alive and we had a tremendous group of young wahine attend the tournament and trial. Renee and I are excited to launch this programme and lead a new group of girls through. To see so many players transition across into New Zealand’s National Netball League and ANZ Franchises who have been a part of our Aotearoa MƗori Netball programme is really special and highlights the importance of our kaupapa and pathway. We have a lot of work to do and the bar has been set pretty high but we believe we have selected an experienced and youthful group who are up for the challenge”.

In 2019, under the management of Huia and assistant coach Renee Matoe, Aotearoa MƗori Netball delivered a very successful high performance programme sending teams to compete at the Pacific Cup Tournament in Auckland and the International Schoolgirls Netball Challenge hosted in Palmerston North. Winning both events was a significant milestone for MƗRri Netball, highlighting the success of its

New board for Karori Lions The new board of the Lions Club of Karori was installed by New Zealand’s head Lion, Murray Pringle, last Wednesday evening, for the Lions’ year 2022/23.

The installation took place during an enjoyable dinner, complete with fun activities and many awards being presented, at the Karori Park Sports Club.

Pictured from left are Murray Pringle, Jo Cameron (current and incoming President), Mary Snook, Alice McDonald, Diana De Alwis, Gina Smith, Vaughan Crimmins, Trevor Anders and Beth Anders.

Karori Lions President Jo reflected on a good year, in spite of the difficulties due to Covid, resulting in

the main fundraising projects being cancelled. Nevertheless the club was able to continue with important activities such as coordinating the annual appeal amongst Lions Clubs for the ‘Inspiration Voyage’ of the Tall Ship Spirit of New Zealand, a week-long voyage for disabled young people; being a hub for recycling spectacles, which go to the Pacific Islands; and being the lead club for raising half a million dollars from Lions clubs in the lower North Island and upper South Island towards the therapeutic play area in the new Wellington Children’s Hospital. The club is looking forward to an action-filled year serving the Karori and wider communities, as Covid loosens its unwelcome grip.

Olympic outlast North Wellington for crucial win

By Grant Stephen

It was a real mixed bag over the weekend with Men’s and Women’s Central Football Leagues in action as well as catch up games in the Chatham Cup. The Men’s Central League involved four matches and the game between Wellington Olympic and TFS North Wellington was a classic encounter without being a game to end all games as they have so often been in recent years. North Wellington was the only

team to beat Olympic in the 2021 season, but this pub quiz fact has lost a little gloss now with Olympic prevailing in the first round this season and doing it again on Saturday with a 3-1 win at Wakefield Park.

It was an enjoyable match without doubt and had all the usual hallmarks involving end to end drag races, spirited defence and close encounters of the crossbar kind on more occasions than could be imagined.

League Golden Boot, Jack-Henry Sinclair made it 10 goals over 10 matches when he

Supporting Local? YIP! Hey Everyone! Thanks for the Happy Birthday messages, the team put an embarrassingly large birthday card on one of our billboards, was a lovely surprise. I was very humbled at the volume of messages I received, especially from our community groups, so apologies if I haven’t had a chance to reply to your message. Moments like these highlight the importance of having a positive fabric in our community and helping each other thrive in tough times. I meet hundreds of community organisations and this week I want so share with you the things you could do to help our community thrive! s Spread the Word – no matter how big or small your social network may be, it doesn’t cost you anything to share a post or promote a business to your friends. If you see a cool local event, invite a friend, and go check it out. s Shop Local - when you visit a locally owned company you aren’t funding a global CEO’s next holiday home, you are directly helping a local family serve the community. Also don’t forget franchises, some of these are locally owned! The better our local businesses do, the more locals they can employ/engage, and more businesses will want to come and invest in our wonderful community. s Volunteer your experience – Our community would not survive, if not for all the amazing volunteers. If you have some precious time and skills to spare, maybe consider being a volunteer. Being able to directly participate and help local groups thrive is a wonderful part of my week. s Run a Group – If you have some expertise or talents you would love to share with the community, we have our FREE Collective Community Hub available for

you to run sessions, plus we may be able to help you get started too! Whether it is a fitness class or a craft workshop – we can help. s Donate/Sponsor – All local community groups run on a very tight budget and any donations and sponsorships are always welcomed. Maybe you have an unwanted gift that they could use as a prize, or you may just be looking for a good cause to donate to – there will always be a local group that would fit your target.

If you would like to know more about what options are available, feel free to get in touch – or pop into our Community Hub and Tracy, our Hub Manager will be more than happy to point you in the right direction.

As times get tough, let’s do more to support each other and check in on those who may be feeling a bit vulnerable right now.

Have a wonderful week.

struck early for Olympic before 15 minutes was even up on the clock.

It was double trouble on the half hour when Jesse Randall converted and despite the two-goal lead, the game was too close to call. Captain, Joe Hopper belted a screamer on the 60-minute mark for Norths and it was still a case of anyone’s game. The body language and tempo noticeably changed in Olympic’s favour though with 10 minutes to play when Gianni Bouzoukis took an impressive shot of his own and sealed the match at 3-1 for the home team.

The Phoenix Reserves did enough at Fraser Park in their 2-1 win over Western Suburbs. After a slow start, Petone find themselves in the middle of the pack with a 1-nil win over Wellington United. The last round of the match played out as a local derby between Napier City Rovers and Havelock North Wanderers. Rovers took all the points through a 1-0 win, in what was more of a closer match than predicted.

Although not all sides have played 10 games, Wellington Olympic are on 24 points, the Nix Reserves have 21 and Rangers have 18 points, with a game in hand. Down at the nervous end of league table, Wellington United and North Wel-

lington have 6 points and Havelock North have 8.

In the Chatham Cup, the other two Central League sides squared off after ground conditions the previous week made the game between Waterside Karori and Miramar Rangers unplayable. It wasn’t any better this time either and Waterside’s home ground became Martin Lucky Park for the day. Rangers however got the better of the pitch and made no contest of it with a 4-0 win. In the other local Chatham Cup match, Wellington Marist was too strong for Upper Hutt City and move to round 3 through a 3-1 win. The Central League takes another break this week as the next rounds of both the Chatham and Kate Sheppard Cups take place.

In the W League there may only be seven teams, but competition is fierce at the pointy end. Petone had a 4-0 win over Victoria University and Palmerston North Marist squared off 1-1 with Seatoun. Waterside Karori had the result of the day when they defeated Wellington United 2-1. United find themselves uncharacteristically in third spot on nine points while Marist have top spot on 13 points and Waterside are close behind on 12 points.

Landfill gas capture deal saving money and the planet More than five million cubic metres of potentially harmful methane gas will be captured and turned into energy each year following the installation of an innovative biogas system at Wellington’s Southern Landfill site.

Wellington City Council is igniting the fire on its journey toward a more sustainable future, partnering with LMS Energy (LMS) to reduce methane emissions from the landfill site.

LMS took over the biogas operations at Southern Landfill late last year and are converting the biogas into renewable energy, which is injected into the local electricity network to power local homes and businesses.

The long-term partnership with LMS will see significant investment in a new biogas capture system and the installation of a state-ofthe-art biogas flare, which cleanly combusts the methane which is released from landfill sites during the process of organic materials decomposing.

This substantial investment will reduce the methane emissions released from the site and supports Te Atakura – First to Zero, Coun-

cil’s commitment to being a Zero Carbon Capital by 2050, and the transition to a low carbon Aotearoa New Zealand.

Mayor Andy Foster says the new partnership with LMS is another demonstration that Wellington City Council is taking big steps towards reducing its carbon footprint.

“This new biogas system is part of Council’s commitment to our country’s net zero by 2050 greenhouse gas emissions target under the Government’s recently released Emissions Reduction Plan. It will also help New Zealand meet its target of a 100 percent renewable electricity system by 2035.

“Landfills are responsible for about 74 percent of the City Council’s emissions and currently costs the city up to $3 million in carbon credits, paid for through landfill and rubbish collection charges. So this deal is helping save the planet while saving money.

“It is a win-win – we are not only reducing the financial cost to ratepayers of our carbon liability under the Emissions Trading Scheme but also improving the planet for future generations.”

Waste Operations Manager Stefan

Borowy says methane destruction at landfills is an important climate strategy.

“This highly potent greenhouse gas – which is 34 times more damaging than carbon dioxide at trapping heat in the atmosphere – is either flared or used as fuel in engines to produce renewable electricity. Without this, the methane would be released into the atmosphere.”

LMS General Manager Matthew Falzon says since acquiring the existing biogas project at the landfill, LMS has significantly invested in infrastructure upgrades which have resulted in the biogas electricity generator consistently running at full capacity.

“The generator ran at a 99.5 per cent capacity in May. This means less methane emissions from the site and more renewable electricity produced for the local community.

“In just five months, we have generated 3,400 megawatt hours of electricity by combusting approximately 1.6 million cubic metres of landfill biogas. Annually, this is equivalent to powering around 1,233 Wellington homes annually or growing approximately one million trees for ten years or taking more

than 35,000 New Zealand cars off the road.

“We are excited by this partnership with Council, and we look forward to working with them to deliver improved waste management and environmental outcomes for the community.”

In the coming months, LMS will install an industry-leading biogas flare, which has been engineered and manufactured in-house by LMS. The flare will further improve methane destruction from

the landfill as it will destroy surplus methane that is not utilised in the power generation process and can operate when the generator is down for maintenance.

LMS has a 25-year licence to occupy with exclusive rights to the gas extracted from the landfill. Benefiting Council as the more landfill gas they capture and destroy, the less Council pays for emissions as it doesn’t need to purchase as many carbon units to surrender to Central Government.

SPORTS TALK With Jacob Page

Origin is proof simple is best State of Origin has delivered again.

Like many things in life, simple is always best.

There’s nothing fancy about the premise of Queensland versus New South Wales playing each other three times each year, but it always seems to turn on a spectacular contest.

Last Wednesday was no different.

Pre-game I was feeling a little underwhelmed by the build-up.

I think that was because of a

couple of reasons.

There’s very little bad blood between the two teams.

There is little to no chance of a punch up during the game, because sin-bins are a regular occurrence these days and that’s too high of a price for a team to pay when the margin of victory is always minimal.

It’s also hard to believe these modern day players hold a grudge against guys they play with on a weekly basis.

The will to win is still there on both sides but it’s less rabid and more analytical.

Despite the modern day realities and the punishing Wednesday 10:10pm kick off in New Zealand, the game was must-see TV. Rugby league is a simple game and that is what makes Origin so compelling.

It’s fast, physical and full of skill.

Statistics showed after game one that Origin requires 40 percent more effort than an average NRL

contest.

Five players covered more than nine kilometres in the 80 minutes and Queensland made 379 tackles to New South Wales’ 378.

Origin is known for its compelling arm wrestles and that is what Wednesday night produced.

New South Wales were a little guilty of playing predictable Penrith Panthers football which works a treat in the NRL but seemed to be exactly what Queensland had prepared for.

Queensland, in contrast, rode the X factor and the unpredictability of man of the match Cameron Munster and fullback Kalyn Ponga led to an underdog victory in front of a passionate Sydney crowd.

By the end of the 80 minutes I was too excited to go to bed, I had to unwind for half an hour after the game I had witnessed.

I am thankful there’s another 160 minutes to come over the next six weeks - sleep schedule be damned.

Will Anthony shines at Oceania Champs Johnsonville runner Will Anthony made his presence felt on the final day of the Oceania Area Championships in Mackay, on Saturday.

Will, who runs for the Olympic Harriers Club, is delighted by securing a championship record in the men’s Under-20 3000m to sign off the Kiwi track challenge on a high.

Will was part of the Athletics NZ Gold Coast Tour designed to give them a taste of how to travel, live and train ahead of a pinnacle event – and he enjoyed a timely a boost ahead of the World U20 Championships in Cali, Colombia in August.

He produced a performance of both maturity and class to win the men’s U20 3000m.

Smartly sheltering from the wind behind the lead two runners for the first kilometre, he then hit the front and by halfway had opened up a clear gap on the field.

Running in splendid isolation for the second half of the race

Running in splendid isolation for the second half of the race 18-year-old Will Anthony zipped home to destroy the previous championship record by more than 18 seconds, clocking 8:20.37.

the 18-year-old zipped home to destroy the previous championship record by more than 18 seconds, clocking 8:20.37. Aussie Douglas Buckeridge took silver in 8:36.76.

Will, the New Zealand Under-19 3000m record-holder said he was thrilled with the performance.

“I’m pretty stoked. I came in today hoping to go for a good time, with the main goal to win in a championship record.

“I knew I had the legs in me and took the first kilometre pretty steadily before coming through. It was tough going in the wind so I’m happy to come away with the win.

“It was my second race outside of New Zealand and first time on the track (outside of New Zealand).

“It was a relief after spending a few weeks in Australia. It was set me up well for Cali (World U20s).

It is good acclimatisation for the heat and good to have a tactical element rather than running from the front because I know I will be racing some very fast guys (at World U20s).”

Johnsonville lack composure late, lose crucial game

By Jacob Page

Johnsonville entered a busy period of their Swindale Shield rugby season with a frustrating 25-17 loss to Paremata-Plimmerton, on Saturday.

They face Hutt Old Boys Marist last night, as we go to print, in a covid-19 catch-up game before facing Petone at Petone Rec this Saturday.

Johnsonville had closed to within three points late in the game, but were unable to break through against the committed home-team defence.

Johnsonville had a chance to kick a gimme penalty moments before the end that would have drawn the contest but chose to go for the try and couldn’t do so.

Instead, it was the Hammer-

heads who had the game’s final say right at the end – and denied the Hawks a bonus point – with expressive halfback Esi Komaisavai regathering a kick and chase and scoring their fifth unconverted try of the match in the corner.

Johnsonville coach Jason Adamson says the performance wasn’t good enough.

“I was frustrated with the performance.

“Us on the sidelines wanted to take the three points and tie it up,” he says.

“We were running on the kicking tee but play had continued by that point.

“I would have rather had a draw than to lose like that.”

Jason says even with the scrum and line out struggling,

he felt his team had the better chances in the game but lacked composure in key situations.

“I thought we showed what we can do at times but set-piece needs a lot of work and we were down on troops,” Jason says.

“Just a really frustrating afternoon.

“We made the game harder than it needed to be.”

Jason admitted the loss was a hammer blow for their topeight chances with three games remaining.

Johnsonville fullback Jacob Walmsley scored a try and was integral in earning his team a penalty try in the first half to continue his strong career.

Jason says he is hoping his team can remain healthy over Mark Sutton kicks for goal in Johnsonville’s 25-17 Swindale Shield defeat to the next couple of games.
