The Karori Youth Awards celebrated young people’s contribution to the community on Tuesday September 10. Karori West Normal School Kapa Haka Group opened the night with breathtakingly rich waiata-a-ringa (action songs), which left the audience in awe and led beautifully into the awards night. The Karori Youth Centre presented 25 awards including one supreme award, in this, their 21st year running the event. Continued on page 2.

Karori’s young achievers recognised Continued from page 1. “We get to celebrate people who see there is a need and that there are spaces they can meet that need in their community,” says Youth Leader Alex Powell. Bethany Kaye-Blake was the recipient of the Karori Community Centre Supreme Award
for going “above and beyond”. She was described as a role model in and out of school, working with groups like Climate Challenge and an iwi-affiliated youth collective. “Bethany has been the Wellington City Youth Councillor and Communications Leader,” says Alex. “She helped write
the Aotearoa Youth Declaration. “She was volunteered at the Te Aro TEDx youth event and was selected to attend the Sir Peter Blake Environmental Leaders Forum in 2018.” However, Bethany says she was not expecting to win but it felt special.

“I do it for the people not for the recognition,” says Bethany. “The smiles people have on their face when you help them is really nice, especially when you help them understand something and they explain it back to you.” The night also awards young individuals who overcome adversity, says Alex. Ignite Sport’s Daniel Olive spoke and presented the Overcoming Adversity category. He spoke about the importance of resilience in a time when youth are facing “more and more adversity”. “It doesn’t matter what background or age you come from, we all face adversity through life,” says Daniel. “I have never been to this kind of event and I am blown away. “Even though it is just a small school hall, it is so impactful for these young people to come and see the support of the community.”
History of Newlands Baptist Church launched A gathering of over 100 people in the Newlands Intermediate School Hall on Sunday afternoon September 15 saw the launch of what author Gilbert (Gil) Roper, describes as “a very visual book” on the church’s history. Newlands Baptist Church began as a Sunday School in the Newlands Centennial Hall in September 1957. By August 1968, the church had evolved from that, so it was in August 2018, it celebrated its 50th anniversary. In 200 pages, Gil traces the detailed history of the church from its beginnings through to a comprehensive pictorial record of the 50th anniversary celebrations in 2018. With many photos and personal reminiscences of early and present worshippers, the book also outlines the early development of Newlands as a suburb and the churches that have worked alongside Newlands Baptist. Given the church’s strong linkages with the local community, it was fitting that Northern Ward councillors and local MPs shared the lunch at this community event.

Emergency tank landmark looms Who will buy the 1000th 200L emergency water tank? The three Northern Ward city councillors can, pretty regularly, be seen on Saturday mornings firing up the BBQ and selling emergency water tanks, usually outside busy local supermarkets. “Our most recent promotion took us to 989 of the 200 litre tanks in the past three years or so,” says councillor Malcolm Sparrow. “This coming Saturday, September 21, we will be selling them outside Countdown John-
sonville, next to The Warehouse.” That he says, will be when they hit the 1000 mark. “A few months ago when we were contemplating this milestone, we decided we’d make a bit of a fuss when we handed over number 1000,” he says. The prize is a refund of $60 of the $115 cost, the other $55 being donated to a school, church, charity or community group of the winner’s choice, within the northern suburbs of Wellington. “So those who pre-order and
pre-pay 200L emergency water tanks for this Saturday, to be picked up at Johnsonville, will have their names go into a hat.” That’s not just one, but two entries per person, he says. Those who “walk up” and pay on the day will have their names go into the same hat, but just one entry per person. “On the reasonable assumption that we’ll sell at least 11 water tanks this Saturday, taking us up to 1000, the one name drawn out of the hat will be regarded as the winner,” Malcolm says.
If you don’t already have a 200L emergency water tank, or need another one – bearing in mind the official recommendation is to store 20L of water per person for seven days – you can pre-order your tank now by emailing malcolm.sparrow@ wcc.govt.nz. “ O n c e yo u h ave s e n t through your $115 payment, we will hold one for you for pick up outside Countdown Johnsonville on Saturday. “Alternatively you may pay cash on the day, but on a first in, first served basis,” says Malcolm.

Volunteers sought The Newlands Resilience Plan was approved by Newlands Paparangi Progressive Association (NPPA) in August. And Rodney Barber of the Newlands Resilience Group says they now need focussed help as they begin preparing for disaster. “Ideally we’d like the volunteers from Newlands, but anyone interested who has the skills and doesn’t mind coming over here to our meetings would be most welcome,” he says. A key position is communication advisor. “Two hours a week, starting as soon as possible – this month. “We are also looking for evaluators in resilience and cultural change to come on board in November. “The project leaders would need up to two hours a week, and we would look for their work to start in October,” he says. If you are interested please contact Rodney Barber of the Newlands Resilience Group by for more information on rodneybarbernz@gmail.com or 027 478 8061
141 Johnsonville Road: the premises formerly occupied upstairs by the Johnsonville RSA and downstairs by SuperLiquor, is being rented by the WCC as a site for storage of books from the “mothballed” central library, and as a centre for administrative operations. PHOTO: Glenise Dreaver.
A home has been found in Johnsonville for storage of 400,000 items from the Wellington Central Library’s collection. The 2000 square metre, two storey site at 141 Johnsonville Road has been leased, and work is to begin on a new collection and distribution
centre there. It will give Wellington City Libraries, Te Matapihi Ki Te Ao Nui, a new centre to manage the entire network’s collection, work previously done by the Central Library. The Mayor says the site has excellent access to major transport routes and the building is
structurally strong enough to house the collection, with the correct climatic conditions. The present Johnsonville Library building will also be used as an interim extra warehouse facility once the new Waitohi Hub Library opens in December. Work to get the site ready

Third library
Preparing for disaster All sorts of dire emergency scenarios were thrown at a group of Wadestown locals on Sunday. They had turned up to lend a hand at a Community Emergency Hub Exercise at the Wadestown Plunket Rooms in Wadestown Road where the Hub is based. Working with WREMO (Well i ng ton Reg ion Emergency Management Office) staff under the direction of advisor Chris
Moore, locals of all ages and backgrounds worked together. They allocated roles and tasks to cater to the many different types of emergencies which might arise during a real life Civil Defence situation. Wadestown Community Advocate Louise Davies was delighted with the response, especially as the weather was not conducive to a community event.
“Although things got a little chaotic at times, I guess that is the whole point of doing these events –to get prepared and build our local resilience. “It was really rewarding to see our locals working with WREMO staff on various scenarios which might arise during a real life Civil Emergency and coming up with some creative solutions.”
Combatting pornography By Brian Sheppard
require more intense stimuli as time goes by. His point is that someone with such an addiction is increasingly harmed and risks harming others. He urged his audience to recognise the signs, talk about the issues and also consider the need to seek qualified professional help. His message is that the disturbing images won’t go away but we all have a part to play in helping each other to avoid their influence.
At a workshop in the AlAmeen Mosque in Newlands on September 15, parents heard internationally recognised speaker Wael Ibrahim talk about the dangers that pornography brings to our children. While children are taught about such topics as ‘stranger danger’, published examples of violence, pornography and other degrading behaviour can distort their moral compass. The problem is how to equip them and others to deal with it. Wael reasoned that curiosity leads us to explore the world around us and that some discoveries trigger “rewards” in the brain, which lead us to repeat them. If this becomes a habit on which we depend, it may
Wellington is to have a third new central city library, this time in Brandon Street in the Harbour City Centre. The new library should open early next year, following a partnership between Wellington City Council and the building owners making the CBD location possible. At around 1400 square metres, it will be the largest of the council’s three CBD branches, housing around 20,000 items. A café will operate alongside it. Councillor Fleur Fitzsimons says the branch will have space for a children’s collection and activities and a parents’ room. It will be the third link in the CBD library network, along with Arapaki Manners Library, and He Matapihi Molesworth Library which is due to open in October.
It’s the one stop shop for all your biking needs.

New role for principal
DON’T MISS OUT
THE NEW MAYFAIR PLUSH BED
Louise Green, outgoing principal at Khandallah School, will be continuing her passion to ensure quality of education for all our children in her new role as a teachers’ union Principals’ Support Officer. PHOTO: Glenise Dreaver. By Glenise Dreaver
“It’s a bitter-sweet moment,” says Louise Green, principal of Khandallah School, who is leaving at the end of this term. But, she says, opportunities like her new job only come up once in a lifetime and you have to seize them when they do. “It’s the right time.” As the New Zealand Educational institute’s (NZEI) principals’ lead negotiator, she has just concluded a successful eighteen-month-long campaign for pay parity with secondary school principals, negotiations concluding in August. Now she is to become NZEI’s Principal Support Officer, a role that will see her
supporting individual North Island principals, from Gisborne down to Wellington, when needed in their complex roles. Her new role, as at Khandallah will, she says, see her continue to work towards a system and profession that supports our children. ”It’s all about the quality of public education.” And she says, she counts herself particularly blessed to have been at Khandallah school “this wonderful place”, for the last 11 and a half years. Louise pays tribute to the teachers, support staff, board and parents . “I’ve had amazing support from all of them. A leader never achieves anything by themselves.”

Petrol rip off Dear Editor Watch the price of petrol in Johnsonville drop when Waitomo in Johnsonville opens. Currently BP in Johnsonville charges $2.33 per litre. Waitomo
on Tinakori Road charges $2.05, a whopping 28 cent difference. Why are the petrol companies ripping off customers in areas that do not have Waitomo or Gulf? One suspects the major petrol
companies are trying to reduce some of their losses where no competition is happening. Murray Gray Johnsonville

Paul arrived at the home in July as its new manager, having previously managed a rest home in Auckland. He says he has already enjoyed getting to know the residents at Huntleigh Home and Apartments and wants to involve them even more decision-making. “In every rest home I’ve ever worked in there’s characters,” he says. “I want to know who somebody was and somebody is.

Exploring Judaism
Dental training memories strong after 70 years Most anniversaries and milestones in one’s life are almost never forgotten. At 88, Khandallah’s Margarita Doyle can well recall September 2, 1949, because on that date seven decades ago, she and around 30 others began their two years at the National Dental Training School in Wellington’s Willis Street. The eighteen-year-old Margarita Smeaton from South Canterbury had aspired to be a teacher until a presentation on school dental nursing during 1948 at Timaru’s Sacred Heart College had changed her mind. “It was the beginning of a whole new life for most of us and we made life-long friendships which led to wonderful reunions in Wellington down through the years” says Margarita. She is philosophical about the fact that with just a handful of the “49ers” left, age means they are past travelling to any more gatherings. “That’s life I guess”, but the memories remain strong of their two year course, held both at the-then near new Willis Street facility and at the Dental Annex in Tinakori Road (later Premier House). At one reunion, a group of the 1949 intake were shown through Premier House about 50 years after their training there. “We all seemed to get on and most of us thrived on the routine and the rules,” says a smiling Mar-
Churton Park Community Centre is hosting the fifth event in its Multi-Faith Series, which explores some of the core values that underpin different religions, traditions, and cultures that are represented in our community. On Friday September 27, between 7-9pm, they will focus on Judaism traditions and celebrations and how to understand and engage effectively with the Jewish community. A light dinner will be served.
E-waste collection Between 9am and pm on Saturday August 21, the Karori Lions are running a collection of electronic waste at the community centre. The charge on large items will be $5, medium items $2 and small items $1. (This excludes CRT-TVs and monitors, microwaves, car batteries and whiteware.) Please note the correction of last week’s brief, which wrongly identified the collection as being on Saturday September 22. We apologise for the error.

WCC MAYORAL CANDIDATES 2019 Record turn-out at local meeting Over 150 people turned up to the mayoral candidates’ meeting held at the Johnsonville Community Centre on Monday evening. The Johnsonville Community Association, in conjunction with the Johnsonville Uniting Church, organised the meeting which candidates agreed had the biggest audience of any of their ten meetings that far. Two no-shows included Andrew Cox, who attended only the first meeting and Ajay Rathod (Eastern). Five of the front-runners came straight from a debate at the Wellington Chamber of Commerce which finished at 7pm. They were at the trust room by 7.30pm, clearly not having used public transport . Candidates were controlled by a bell, though the device leapt from the timekeeper’s grasp, spinning loudly across the floor just before the presentations. Fortunately it didn’t break (though she had a large coloured STOP sign as back-up). Andy Foster sparked some good natured banter early on as his phone also hit the floor with an extremely loud crack. “Andy! You’re interrupting!” was Norbert Hausberg’s firm reprimand. Norbert , like all candidates, focussed strongly
on climate change, discussing managed retreat from some areas. A veteran of previous mayoral campaigns Andy reinforced his message on current plans that, he forecast, would mean a 52 per cent rate rise over ten years, also calling the light rail mass transport option ”unaffordable”. Diane Calvert was critical of plans implemented without proper consultation, citing developments in Newlands as an example and one of her original reasons for standing. Current councillors – and mayoral rivals — Andy and Diane agreed with the current Mayor Justin Lester that the previously reported toxic atmosphere at WCC had largely dissipated, with people talking to each other. The Mayor described accomplishments, and included a reference to Johnsonville mall. Despite reports of possible action soon, he added: “Like you, I’ll believe it when I see it.” Jenny Condie, as well as a focus on climate change, mooted an appointed and decisionmaking Citizen’s Assembly, an idea drawn from overseas. Conor Hill ‘s presentation included a need for a focus on homelessness, housing affordability and urban density.
Justin Lester It’s been a privilege to serve as Wellington Mayor. We’ve been voted the world’s most liveable city and I’ve led a cohesive, future-focused council that’s getting things done. Wellington needs leadership with compassion, business experience and solutions to our challenges. We’re investing heavily in affordable and social housing and are working hard to eradicate homelessness. We’re the only accredited Living Wage Council and have the lowest carbon emissions of any New Zealand city. Three years ago we experienced a significant earthquake. Buildings were demolished and the Central Library had to be closed. The Central Library is my top priority. We’ve secured a multi-billion dollar boost to get Wellington’s transport moving by unlocking congestion at the Basin and delivering mass transit across our city.
I’m Andy Foster and I’m running to be your new Mayor. Hundreds of Wellingtonians are telling me you want a change at the top. You want your council focusing on the things that matter most and to restore our sense of energy, purpose and pride. I’ve got the experience, skills and ideas to get our city moving forward again. I’ll get our library strengthened and bring Civic Square back to life. I’ll make our city more people friendly, deliver bus priority to get the buses moving, and get on with the Basin and Mount Vic tunnel I’ll empower communities to plan their own future (no more Shelly Bays where you don’t get a say). I’ll establish an Urban Development Agency to provide more housing especially for first home buyers and older people downsizing. I’ll continue our amazing environmental
renaissance I’ll stop council’s planned 70-80 per cent rates rise. If you want your city to be the best vote Andy Foster, number 1, for Mayor and council.
Norbert Hausberg
I want to live in a city where all Wellingtonians are well-housed, our city is resilient, diverse communities are supported and our arts and economy continue to hum.
Don Newt McDonald Don presents his concerns for Wellington in this way: The swimming pool of orange juice is swallowed up by one cup, two cups, three. 1 .5 (1/3 1/4) (1/5.. 1/8)..It also empties all world oceans .. “What’s the sum?” he asks Millions of halves. “There is no end. It is infinity? Resources are used up.” The planet is as a lightning spark in eternity. It’s really flaring up now. Any month now you will flick the switch and nothing comes out. For this reason alone most growth is not good. A sombre lesson for these times. The planet is all but dead. Sick society, greedy, E-tainment. Alcohol cigs vaping noisy .. $$ for housing, electric cars, flights and runway. My immediate plan is to sharply halve the world population. The sus-

Wellington carbon neutral by 2022! Cut plastic pollution! Reduce rubbish! Have a better, more frequent and cheaper public transport! What are we waiting for? We are Wellington, we are creative and innovative. We can work for a greener, sustainable capital. And to back that up, 50 per cent of my mayoral salary will be donated to environmental causes. They need all the help they can get. Let’s not have the current councillors and Mayor hold us back. They will use the same phrases and promises and achieve nothing but rates rises. We don’t have to wait any longer. Victoria tunnel for walking and cycling, functional bus service, photovoltaic systems to decentralise electricity for emergencies. And make the housing/rental market affordable.
All very much achievable. Wellington deserves a better future! https://policylocal.thespinoff.co.nz/ candidates/TA_047

My name is Ajay Rathod, Kiwiborn Indian, a fighter that believes in a fair go. I am standing for Mayor. As Mayor I want to fix some of the infrastructure issues that bug everyone and put wellington on the world map. Some will be quick fixes, some will take longer to fix, if we don’t start, we will never finish. As Mayor of Wellington I will commit to Wellington City Council for all of Wellingtons people. My commitment is to listen, be resourceful, make affordable and fair decisions for Wellington City and the people regardless of age, religion, culture, skin colour, gender or income. I will be a leader that doesn’t tolerate discrimination. As Mayor I will promote our city and people with respect and trust.

WCC MAYORAL CANDIDATES 2019 Conor Hill: For a Better Wellington
Diane Calvert
I love Wellington, and I want it to be the best city in the world. I believe homes should be affordable, transport should be reliable and that vanity projects should be cancelled. I think a warm dry home is a human right, and should take precedence over golf, landlord profits, or arbitrary council rules. I want to see quality public transport, streets safe for our children, and a city all people can move around easily. The Central Library, Wellington’s democratic heart, must take precedence over a convention centre or an airport runway extension. If you are sick of skyrocketing house prices, a city you cannot move around and a council with its priorities wrong, vote for me. I’ll help build a better Wellington. www.conorhill.org.nz
I’m a proud Wellingtonian and love my city. And I have been a city councillor for Wharangi/Onslow-Western for the past three years so I know how to make a positive difference. Wellingtonians are saying they want a Mayor who will get the ‘big stuff’ right -- the things that really matter, the things that affect us all -- jobs, housing, transport, the environment and our local communities. They are asking me to stand. Our city needs real leadership that’s for Wellingtonians and not just the Beehive. My priorities are 1. Get the city moving with sorting out the buses and a duplicate Mt Victoria tunnel 2.Open for business and the arts - three hours free Sunday parking 3. Building connected communities - revitalising suburban centres 4. Improving how we deliver - more
Jenny Condie Like all parents, I want to make a better future for my kids. For my generation that means taking immediate action on climate. To reduce emissions, Wellington must become a city of compact, vibrant neighbourhoods with frequent transit between them. To improve housing affordability while lowering emissions we need more apartments and townhouses near public transport and amenities. I will simplify planning rules while introducing an Urban Design Panel to ensure quality design. In partnership with developers and central government, council should build suburban apartment buildings with ground floor shops. We need a mayor with the skills to make this vision a reality.

The meaning of Yoga Yoga means “to Join, or to Unite”. The Yoga path and practices take us towards an understanding of ourselves and thus the ability to overcome all of the problems we face. We can realise for ourselves the essence of life and the purpose of our
being here, thus we are better able to cope with everyday demands and worries. As our perspective changes we are able to realise the one cosmic principle, and find eternal bliss in the union of the individual self with the universal self.

‘She’ll be right’ attitude puts sight at risk New research has found that more than 55,000 people in Wellington are putting their eye sight at risk by not seeking medical assistance. The study found that while 89% of New Zealand adults have experienced a problem with their eyes, one in five (18%) of those people haven’t sought any medical assistance for it. When asked why, almost half of respondents (47%) said it was either because they didn’t think there was anything wrong with their eye health or that they would rather wait for the problem to fix itself. Specsavers Johnsonville Optometrist Defini Tau’alupe-Tai, says the research highlights the ‘she’ll be right’ culture in Wellington, which can lead to serious eye problems not being detected until they are irreparable. This is because early detection of most eye conditions can prevent vision
loss and blindness. “Many common eye problems could also be early signs of more serious eye issues, which could eventually lead to vision loss or blindness. “For example, changes in vision may be the early signs of a sight-threatening condition such as macular degeneration; floaters or flashes of light could be symptoms of a retinal detachment; cloudy vision could be the early signs of a cataract and red eye may be caused by a serious corneal ulcer.” Defini says, “Sometimes serious eye problems can progress quickly, so the best thing you can do when you experience a change is to see an optometrist right away.” However, D ef i n i says i f you’re experiencing any problems with your eyes, the best thing to do is book an eye health check to check that your
problem isn’t a sign of a more serious issue. “Most Kiwis don’t realise that eye problems like conjunctivitis, inflamed eyes and gritty eyes can be treated by optometrists who are therapeutically qualified. These optometrists can prescribe antibiotics, antihistamines, anti-inflammatories and antiviral eye drops. By booking an eye health check, it means you can not only fix the problem, but also check the overall health of your eyes.” Co-owner Frances Wainscott said, “Many customers don’t realise that an eye exam is more than just checking vision and whether you need glasses. While that is always an element, an eye exam is actually an important health check and our optometrists recommend that even people with good vision should have at least on every two years.”

with Jacob Page
That not so secret AB weapon every four years The Mitre 10 Cup is New Zealand’s biggest point of difference in a World Cup year. What other countries would undoubtedly give to have a provincial competition the calibre of New Zealand’s for potential injury replacements to ward off any match-day rust as they wait for the injury God’s to reveal their hand. Already the All Blacks have lost
promising Waikato loosie Luke Jacobson to delayed concussion symptoms but never fear, Liam Squire, who has been in rampaging form for the Tasman Mako in recent weeks, is an in-form and ready-made replacement. Speculation is that the always polarising Sonny Bill Williams may also be ruled out of the tournament with Manawatu Turbos
Ngani Laumape match fit and battle-tested in the black jersey waiting in the wings. The fact that these fringe players, and let’s throw Canterbury’s Owen Franks into the mix, can play rugby while waiting for their second chance is the point of difference. Injuries will happen, that’s just the reality of a long competition.
Some injuries are worse than others, harder to cover. The loss of Jacobson is not a big one in 2019, and many would suggest Williams is lucky to be in the World Cup squad as it is. Retallick, Whitelock, Read, Aaron Smith, Beauden Barrett and Ryan Crotty are the guys I believe would be hard to replace in a starting XV.
The Mitre 10 Cup may not draw the crowds of 25 years ago but it serves a crucial two-fold purpose. It is the nursery for the next wave of emerging All Blacks and it offers fringe All Blacks some rugby when they need it most. That’s the perk of the competition and I’m sure the All Blacks will use it to their advantage when the time is right.
Lawn bowls returns after a four month break After a four-month hiatus, a new season has begun at the Johnsonville Bowling
Club. The season was officially launched at
a social evening on Friday September 13 when club patron and Ohariu MP Greg O’Connor delivered the usual first ceremonial bowl for the season. He spoke at the event, as did new club president Ian (Frankie) Franklin and club captain Logan Amer Frankie says he is excited at the prospect of having two top quality greens available again for the new season after the upper green went through a major renovation over the last year. Dedicated greenkeeper Brendon Gibson was awarded last season’s Wellington Greenkeeper of the Year Award and the Johnsonville greens are likely to be amongst the very best in Wellington again. Unfortunately, due to the wet weather on Sunday the first official scheduled club event was postponed.
The Wellington Interclub competition is to start in early October and the men will be looking to repeat last season’s winning effort. The Johnsonville Women’s Premier team will be hoping to go one better than last season when they ended up in second place in the playoffs. On an individual note, the vastly experienced Rob Ashton has just been selected in the New Zealand Over 60’s team to play in the Trans-Tasman Test series. Rob will be skipping both the New Zealand Triples and Fours teams against Australia in November. The club is holding two Have a Go Open Days for those interested in trying out the sport. They will be held on Saturday September 28 and Sunday 29, both starting at 2pm.
