Lest we forget

By Glenise Dreaver

Some 600 people gathered at the Johnsonville Salvation Army rooms for the annual Anzac ceremony

on Thursday April 25.

Over half were children, Scouts and schoolchildren, with Newlands College being strongly represented.

They had proudly marched down Johnsonville

Road behind veterans, community leaders and elected representatives, from the top of Johnsonville Road.

Strong turn-out in Johnsonville Continued from page 1.

Two pipers representing the Stirling Pipe Band led the march.

The service and wreath laying ceremony was held in warm sunshine with its clear focus on young people and the need to look forward, as well as to remember the sacrifices made.

Greg O’Connor, MP for Ohariu, reminded the young people that many of those who went to war were only one or two years older than some of them and many didn’t come back.

“They grew up like yourselves,” he said, “playing and walking in the local hills and with Mount Kaukau in the background, always there.”

And sometimes, he added, that view could well have been their last memory.

He also told them not to reject the lessons of history.

“When your history teacher comes in to the room, listen carefully. You need to know what happened in history to ensure it never happens again.”

There were murmurs of appreciation as Greg concluded his speech with the words: “Know that if we don’t do the right thing, then the wrong things will continue to happen.”

The relationship with Newlands College drew special mention and head boy and girl Isaac Andrews and Amber Zhu presented the poem “In Flanders Fields”.

Ford from the Salvation Army, created a nostalgic atmosphere as they hung in the air towards the end of the ceremony.

The service ended with the

national anthem and the benediction , which included the powerful words of St Francis Prayer: ‘Lord make me an instrument of your peace.

Where there is hatred let me sow love …’

Tea, instant coffee and UHT or powdered milk are also welcomed.

Donors are asked to please make sure all food items are not past expiry dates.

Volunteers and crafters past and present gathered at the Johnsonville Community Centre on Saturday to celebrate the Spot Shop Co-operative’s 50 years of existence.

Many of them, now grandparents and great grandparents, have known each other since they were young mothers, creating and buying craft work, volunteering in the shop and providing a social support network for themselves and

others.

They also provided grants to deserving local causes every year from the annual profits.

Fifty years on only their ages have changed but, with the addition of some men, everything else is exactly the same.

At the party there was reminiscing about the several sites the shop has occupied in central Johnsonville, and in a quick round robin, each crafter described the craft work they have done, and that

some continue to do.

There is always a need for the specialised knitting needed for premature babies for example.

Support was shown by invited guests including the Mayor, Wellington City Councillors and even a List National MP, Brett Hudson.

That was encouraging for the volunteers, who face and uncertain future, in July moving to a lease on a month by month basis until the end of the year.

Their premises are needed

for other purposes once the Waitohi Hub is completed.

Finding another set of affordable and accessible rooms in a central area in Johnsonville has been a source of despair for the committee members, who are fighting to keep their half-century-long co-operative mission alive.

There has been the odd recent glimmer of hope though and one long-standing committee member, Wendy Pellett said cheerfully on Saturday: “Do watch this space.”

Following the success of the multi-faith meeting held with the Muslim community at Churton Park on April 5, a second event, We Are One with the Sikh Community, will be held on Friday May 3, 7pm-9 pm.

Community adviser Mai Mostafa says the second session will focus on Sikh traditions and celebrations and how to understand and engage effectively with the Sikh community.

“Light dinner will be served,” she says.

“Just bring your friends and family and join us for a fun evening.”

Booking is essential, so please contact Mai on cpcc@wcc.govt.nz or 04 8304 802 to book your place.

inbrief news Gallipoli exhibition to stay Te Papa has announced that the exhibition, Gallipoli: The scale of our war, will remain at the museum for at least three more years.

Scheduled to close in 2019, the free exhibition is still a huge drawcard with more than 2.5 million people having seen it.

Created by Te Papa and Weta Workshop, it is the most-visited exhibition in New Zealand’s history, and has set a global benchmark for immersive museum experiences.

Te Papa board chair Evan Williams says that from its opening, they have seen the exhibition have a profound effect on New Zealanders.

“It fosters empathy, inspires reflection, and is the starting point for powerful conversations.”

Nurses discuss hard issues Nurses will convene in Wellington today for the annual New Zealand Nurses Organisation (NZNO) Greater Wellington Regional Convention.

The theme for the day-long event will be “Nurses a Voice to Lead - Health for All” which is also this year’s theme for International Nurses Day on May 12.

NZNO president Grant Brookes and Kaiwhakahaere Kerri Nuku will be presenting on current issues faced by nurses, health care assistants and midwives; how things may change as a result of the landmark multi-employer collective agreement (MECA) settled with district health boards in 2018 and how these professions can better communicate and support each other.

Old and young gather

By Brian Sheppard

Churtonleigh and Plunket are both organisations concerned with health and welfare, but their focus is on opposite ends of the age scale.

One provides residential care for its elderly residents and the other provides support for the under-fives.

Nicci Ahrer, manager of Churtonleigh and Andrea Wilson, a volunteer coordinator for Plunket recognised that it would be good for the residents and children to meet each other for a play session and morning tea.

As Nicci Ahrer said, “As more young families move away from their parental homes, traditional connections between youngsters and seniors can be lost.

“Coming together for a few hours brings happy memories and joy to the elderly and fun for the children.”

Andrea advertised the opportunity through Plunket’s Facebook pages.

These posts were widely shared so, on Monday April 29, there was hardly room to move.

Families had come, not only from Churton Park but as far as Porirua and Upper Hutt.

Children played, mums chatted and all interacted with the residents.

While the children all took it in their stride, the faces of the residents showed that stories would be told of this morning tea for some time to come.

Rebecca Matthews is leading the charge in her efforts to find out the scale of the problems that the people of Karori are experiencing with unreliable bus services.

“I want to hear the stories and get a better handle on the effect bus timetable changes are having on people’s lives,” she says.

On Tuesday morning, at 7.30am, she and a team of five others took their survey forms to the bus stops outside the Karori mall.

“We are already hearing stories about people being late to work. We’re also asking if they are able to pick their kids up when they need to.

“And we spoke to one woman with two kids at high school. One of them has twice had detention. You get one at his school if you are late twice,” Rebecca says.

People are, she adds, getting Uber taxis in an effort to get to work on time.

“There’s a cost for that.”

Rebecca says they have already done some survey work on the phone with people on her Labour Party list. (She is an aspiring Wellington City Councillor for the Onslow-Western Wharangi Ward in the October local body elections.)

“We are having really good conversations.”

What they have already realised, she says, is that the issues with the Karori bus service are ”number one” for everyone.

Panel affirms extension of Kiwi Point Quarry Today, Wednesday May 1, Wellington City Councillors will consider a recommendation from an independent panel that their decision to extend the Kiwi Point Quarry be accepted.

The panel was convened following public hearings on the

proposed district plan change in December 2018. The Council had sought public feedback on the extension in 2017 and accepted the proposal.

The quarry is located in the Ngauranga Gorge and the council had been told that the north

face of the quarry had only a few years of rock left. The proposed extension to the south face is to ensure the supply of building material for another 15-20 years The Panel acknowledges that extending the quarry will have significant adverse landscape

effects, and that mitigation measures proposed will not entirely avoid these effects.

The report, however, goes on to say: “However, when considered alongside the positive effects of continuing to supply aggregate to the Wellington

economy the panel is satisfied that the plan change should be approved.”

Should Council approve the panel’s recommendations, submitters will be given an opportunity to appeal the decision to the Environment Court.

Bowls at the Mural One thing rolls into another at Ngaio Union Church.

Replacing the pews with chairs freed up the space for community events and it didn’t take long for Marion McInnes to see the opportunity to bring back bowling to Ngaio Union.

“Before the earthquake we had a bowling club in our hall but that all ended when the Church Hall was so damaged it has been out of bounds since and will be demolished.

“Good things often come from unexpected events and the floor in the church is even better than the one in the hall,” says Marion.

Starting on Tuesday May 14 at 10am , a bowls group will be a regular weekly event.

Minister Sue Brown sees it as part of the Cameo approach – “Come

Marsden Karori Open Day

Girls Years 1–13, Co-ed Preschool

And Meet One Another.”

“We’ll be low key and friendly on bowls and big on a warm welcome to locals who want to meet one another through bowls,” she says.

For people who have never played indoor bowls Marion says this will be a great place to learn, get to know other folk, and socialise over a cuppa.

Entry is by gold coin donation.

There are hundreds of hearing aids on the market.

Why would you go somewhere that limits your choice to just a few?

Many people never get the hearing aids that would be best for them.

That’s because the big chain hearing clinics are owned by hearing aid manufacturers and they only offer a limited range of aids, the one’s made by their owners.

Hearing Consultants are INDEPENDENT Audiologists with no affiliation to or bias towards any manufacturer. We assess our clients on an individual basis and then select, from the hundreds available, the hearing aids that will give them the very best individualised outcome.

Too many excuses Dear Editor, Stride Corporation have for the past 19 years that I have lived in Johnsonville, made excuses about its development of the Mall.

They want key companies to make a commitment to occupy before they invest their money to develop the site.

Would any key company have any confidence in Stride, when they have had the property for 30 years and they are still

dragging the chain?

I’m of the opinion that the key companies will make a commitment, once they see work going ahead on its development.

They obviously have their head in the sand and need to extract it fast and get the Mall moving before all the shops move elsewhere.

Bob Grinling Johnsonville

New candidate Dear Editor, In response to your invitation in The Independent Herald (February 20, 2019).

I’m writing to inform you of my intention to stand as a candidate at the Greater Wellington Regional Council (GWRC) elections this year.

I’ve watched the GWRC mismanage the rollout of changes to Wellington’s bus

services since the middle of last year with amazement at their increasing ineptitude.

I therefore feel that the GWRC needs to change its composition, functioning and culture—and to this end, I offer myself as a candidate in the GWRC elections this year, with the hope that others will join me.

Health risks in nail salons Huntleigh Apartments selling now 221 Karori Road, Karori

Open Day Thursday 2 May 9am - 12pm The modern Huntleigh Retirement Apartments by Enliven are light, bright and just the right size. These sought after apartments have been recently renovated, all with updated fixtures and fittings, and are waiting for you.

Wellington City Council is consulting on the need for a review of its Public Health Bylaw.

Feedback on any issues people experience with the health and beauty industry is being sought, and whether they should be regulated.

The bylaw provides for the regulation of swimming pools and food premises.

The request for feedback follows a survey about infection-control procedures in 27 nail salons in the Wellington region, released last month.

It showed a lack of understanding about blood-borne viruses including spread

and control, limited understanding or protection from Hepatitis B and inadequate cleaning, disinfecting, sterilising and hygienic storing of instruments.

There was also a lack of written infection disease-control protocols.

The nail and beauty salons visited in the Wellington region overwhelmingly supported some form of regulation to improve industry standards.  Consultation has opened at https:// wellington.govt.nz/have-your-say/ public-inputs/consultations/open/publichealth-bylaw and runs to 5pm, May 24.

Take a step back and enjoy the independence and freedom of living in your own home, but without the worry and hassle. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to make Huntleigh Apartments your new home.

Interested? Come along to the open day or call sales agent, Allan Davidson, on 04 439 4949 to arrange a viewing.

EYE ON CRIME In Johnsonville a black Hyundai stationwagon parked unlocked for a period of ten minutes during the late morning, in a shared driveway in Clifford Road, was entered by an intruder who stole a bank card from a wallet left in the vehicle.

Within minutes of the theft the card had been fraudulently used in Johnsonville followed by other transactions in Newtown and Island Bay during the next two hours.

Most of the transactions were on gaming and betting totalling approximately $2000.

A white Toyota Hilux truck parked on the road overnight was entered and some tools were stolen from the vehicle. Work boots and gum boots were also stolen from the front porch of the property.

A train parked at Johnsonville railway station at 11.25pm was subject to a graffiti attack. Multi-coloured letters and dots were spayed onto a carriage. Four males were seen leaving the scene and the same ones were seen by a driver taking photos of the train when it reached Crofton Downs.

A silver Toyota Platz saloon parked overnight on the street in Ironside Road was stolen, while a white Mazda Axela hatchback parked overnight in Tarawera Road had its rear registration plate stolen.

In Newlands a blue Mazda Axela parked overnight in Salford Street had its front registration plate stolen.

A white Ford Ranger utility parked overnight in Ruskin Road was broken into via a smashed left rear window. A laptop computer and some connecting cables were stolen.

A white Mitsubishi Triton utility parked overnight in Robert Street was broken into, possibly through a forced canopy.

A quantity of power and hand tools was stolen.

In Khandallah the owners of a property in Harbour Park Terrace returned from a

few days away to find intruders had accessed their property through a forced side window. The alarm was inactive. A substantial amount of NZ and US currency was stolen together with electronic items, a duvet and pillows and a puffer jacket.

A jemmied front window gave access to the master bedroom of a house in Lohia Street and a laptop computer was stolen.

Another house in Lohia Street was broken into during the same timeframe. A rear window had been jemmied open to gain access and a large screen TV is missing.

A green Honda Civic parked in the driveway was also stolen, the keys having been uplifted from a bowl near the front door. This vehicle was later found burnt out in Hataitai.

In Northland a black Suzuki Moped parked overnight in Norfolk Street had it rear registration plate stolen. A black Piaggio Zip Moped parked in Northland Road was stolen.

In Wadestown the locked shed of a house under renovation in Weld Street was broken into and a wood chipping machine was stolen.

A blue Honda Civic parked overnight within the property of a house in Barnard Street was entered via a jemmied driver’s door. The vehicle shows sign of a search but nothing is known to have been stolen.

A grey Nissan Wingroad hatchback parked overnight in Barnard Street was entered via a smashed right rear quarterlight window and paragliding equipment was stolen.

A green Nissan Terrano stationwagon, from Barnard Street was recovered from Coast Road, Wainuiomata.

A shop in Wadestown Road was entered, probably through a window left open. A sum of cash, a computer tablet and some meat and cheese are missing.

National believes New Zealanders should keep more of what they earn.

Linking tax thresholds to inflation delivers that.

It’s fairness in action.

Powerful drama from youth of Challenge 2000 On Anzac Day, the young people of Challenge 2000 remembered members of the the Mahony family of Johnsonville who served in both World War I and World War II. They wrote and acted out a drama about Tom Mahony who served on the Western Front.

When Tom returned, and married, he fervently hoped that his sons would never go through what he went through.

But in WWII his sons Brian and Larry became soldiers.

Trooper Larry Mahony was killed near Faenza in Italy on April 15 1945 at the age of 21.

Brian was seriously wounded in the same action, losing sight in one eye.

He returned to Johnsonville, worked as a Probation Officer and remained in the family home until he died in 2001.

He never married.

Larry and Merle Wilson, however, were childhood sweethearts who met at St Bridgids in Standard 3 and the Wilson and Mahony families became very good friends.

Merle eventually became Sister Cyprian and is a Brigidine Sister still living in Johnsonville.

She too has served her community as a teacher, pastoral worker and companion to many in need.

The drama was re-enacted again at SS Peter

and Paul’s Catholic Church on Sunday April 28.

Sister Cyprian was thanked for her service by the young people who also made a commitment to do their bit to be peacemakers and to serve others.

The occasions were both powerful and poignant as they recognised the sacrifices of the young Mahony and Wilsons.

Anzac Day at Malvina Major

By Brian Sheppard

The Anzac Day commemoration service is a very special event for residents of Johnsonville’s Malvina Major retirement village.

Manager Lynne Pierse noted that with over 100 people present, it was the largest gathering she had seen for this commemoration.

Some arrived unaided while it was clearly a challenge for others, but they all came to honour those

who had endured much more and had given their lives in times of war.

Jud it h Dun lop f rom t he Johnsonville Uniting Church, accompanied by music from the Salvation Army Band, led the service.

Andrew Weir played the bagpipes to open the service and a trumpet to play the Last Post in a very fitting tribute from a thankful community.

Big numbers again at Karori service

By Carey Clements

The young and the not so young came from near and far to attend the annual Karori Returned Services Association annual Anzac Day service last Thursday.

Due to overwhelming numbers in recent years, the service was moved from the Karori RSA hall on Campbell St. to the Karori Normal School Hall in Donald St. This was a return to where the

RSA originally began its services in the late 1930’s.

Karori RSA President for the past 23 years Bruce Johnston described the several changes in venue over the years, adding: “Given we have a World War One Honours board inside our clubrooms that features a lot of soldiers who attended Karori Normal School, it also seemed appropriate we had this year’s Anzac Day service here.”.

Dr Geoff Troughton from the

Victoria University of Wellington School of Social and Cultural Studies was the speaker.

A n d fo r m e r R N Z Nav y serviceman and local Karori h i st o r i a n Gle n n Re d d iex generously handed out 60 copies of his pictorial non-fiction book, Just to Let You Know I’m Still Alive.

A former Karori School pupil and graduate of the National Academy of Singing and Dramatic

Art Matilda Wickbom presented the National Anthem at the start of the ceremony, attended by more than 300 people.

This included uniformed defence force personnel, along with Girl Guides and Scouts.

The Colonel Commandant of the Royal New Zealand Armoured Corps Colonel Trevor McComish and World War Two veteran and Karori RSA Life Member, Pat Tie also attended.

Leo Skilton (aged five) wore family medals to the Karori RSA service.

The Johnsonville Anzac Day parade and service, held at the Salvation Army Rooms, saw an excellent turnout.

The colourful medal ribbons worn by combat veterans, by serving members of all the Defence Forces, and in some cases by the family members of veterans who have passed on, were vivid symbols of the reality – and range - of war.

The need to keep the memories of sacrifice of life, or health and well-being, alive was an integral

His presence was a clear of the succession planning to ensure the Anzac tradition is carried through the generations.

And at the end, there was a special thank you from the Parade Marshall to all who attended – and to the police who had unobtrusively and on the boundary, kept everyone safe.

Young martial arts experts return in triumph Northern Suburbs karate students showed their winning ways at the Australian Seido Karate Festival in Sydney on April 11.

Ngaio resident Phoebe Yee, aged 15, and Newlands siblings Ben Hassidi 14 and sister Dana, 12 have returned triumphant with six medals between them.

Phoebe gained medals in all three events she entered, with silver in Individual and team Kata and a gold in the Green Belt Women’s sparring event.

That last gold is an extra special one.

Sensei Garry Szeto, head instructor at Seido Karate Northland, Wellington says: “We had entered her into a children’s Green Belt division.”

But they were surprised that, due to no other entries in her age group, the tournament organisers gave her the option of fighting against women or not fighting at all.

“After I carefully considered it, and making sure that she wasn’t going to be severely mismatched – size and weight-

wise by the older opponents – I asked Phoebe if she wanted to fight or pull out.

“I told her ‘It is alright to not fight’.

Phoebe responded saying ‘I want to fight’ and the rest is history so to speak.”

The Hassidi siblings also returned home with gold medals with Dana winning the Girls’ 12-13 Years Individual Yellow Belt kata and Ben winning both the Boys 14-15 years Individual Yellow Belt Kata and Shiai technique events.

These three students were part of a team of eight competitors from Seido Karate Northland, Wellington Dojo who won 13 medals between them.

With over 250 competitors and a further 150 attending the various seminars, classes and functions on offer throughout the three days, attendees came from throughout New Zealand, Australia, the US and Japan.

This, says Garry, meant this tournament was bigger than any the children had encountered before.

World Tai Chi and Qigong Day

INFORMATION EVENING

By Brian Sheppard

New Zealand leads the world in many things, not least being the first to celebrate international events while other countries sleep.

Saturday April 28 is when countries around the word celebrate World Tai Chi and Qigong Day, by holding public tai chi exercises that begin at 10am local time.

About 200 people gathered at the Karori recreation Centre for Wellington’s event, organised by the Tai Chi Associates and supported by the China Cultural Centre.

People came from tai chi clubs across the Wellington region to perform their familiar traditional exercises, which derive from Chinese martial arts, to develop health, flexibility and wellbeing.

Amongst the tai chi masters and club instructors who led the exercises was Janet Chew, from Churton Park who gives a range of classes at different centres for people of all age groups and states of health.

These exercises may look slow and gentle but, when done properly, give a real workout and, for many of us, also find a long-lost sense of balance.

The Minister of Agriculture Damien O’Connor on Monday night responded to a request from his cousin, local MP Greg O’Connor, to meet with residents and farmers from Ōhāriu and Takapu Valleys to discuss rural issues.

Issues around water management and the need to farm strategically for the best long-term results for farmers, the economy, and the environment were the main topics raised.

There were also concerns around the recent Wellington City Council discussion paper which explores an option of

Win for bus drivers It was announced yesterday that a Memorandum of Understanding between Government, unions and bus operators will oversee the implementation of paid rest breaks over the next 12 months and work on temporary measures to avoid further bus disruptions.

The MOU also includes the establishment of a tripartite forum to review the Worktime and Logbooks Rule and achieving a living wage as a minimum standard.

Transport Minister Phil Twyford has further committed in a letter to the unions to achieve the living wage as a minimum standard for all public transport bus drivers in New Zealand.

Oliver Stent • 027 349 7731

He has addressed the urgency of parOliver Stent • 027 349 7731 •info@acelawns.co.nz • info@acelawns.co.nz ticular regions in a letter to unions in the www.acelawns.co.nz www.acelawns.co.nz transport sector and commits himself to support any opportunities in the interim that are achievable within his current powers.

First Union spokesperson, Jared Abbott, says the commitment to the living wage was a bottom line for First Union, adding that the development is extremely positive news for drivers not already receiving living wages.

He says: “It is key to attracting more drivers into the industry.”

The forum will also deal with longstanding issues around pay and hours of work for drivers.

Call for insurance forum Insurance Australia Group (IAG) – New Zealand’s largest general insurer – has announced higher home and contents premiums for customers who live in areas prone to natural disasters and severe weather.

Wellington’s Mayor is calling for a forum with the Government’s Earthquake Commission Minister, insurance companies, and affected stakeholders to discuss the matter.

“IAG has between 40 and 50 percent of the Wellington market, so this could potentially affect a lot of our residents,” Mayor Justin Lester says.

“This will be a daunting prospect for those facing increasing premiums on the homes they already own, and also make it

even more difficult for first home buyers.”

He says he has raised the issue with Megan Woods, the Minister responsible for the Earthquake Commission, and will be convening an insurance forum.

Invitations will go to the Insurance Council, IAG, body corporate and home owner representatives who are significantly affected by premium increases.

“It may be that the Government needs to consider what insurance companies are required to offer in a market, and they may have to offer an affordable option where they operate.

“Insurance is crucial for a city. It has to be available and affordable for banks to lend, for businesses to operate efficiently, and for people to have peace of mind.”

Gardening & HOME LIVING

Be careful with your ‘seed limit’ Autumn is seed saving time but it’s also a good time to sort out all those old packets of seed that you have previously saved or bought. It’s a good chance to check the seeds' viability. This just means that not all your old seed will germinate but a percentage will. For instance calendula seed that’s three or four years old is meant to be good for five or six years.

However fresh is best when it comes to onion seed so seven year old seed will probably fail. Of course if you have left-over beans then you can just eat them.

If experimenting isn’t your thing sow all your seed regardless of age and see what pops up. Sow according to the season though to give it a better chance.

If you’ve never grown the plant from seed before and don’t know what it should look like then sow the seed in a distinctive pattern. A spiral is good.

When the seed germinates you will know from the pattern what’s likely to be a plant and what’s a weed and it’s fun!

Plant Peonies Peonies are well known for their large and spectacular blooms and the longevity of the flowers when picked. A symbol of wealth, power and class in China where they're the national flower, herbaceous peonies were introduced into Europe during the late 18th century and their glorious blooms soon became immensely popular worldwide.

Nowadays, all florists love them, as they last and last - and they sell for big bucks! Twigland has just received 12 stunning varieties of bare root peonies which are ready to be planted now... Why not grow your own?

Peonies are outrageously beautiful when in bloom and make wonderful garden plants with lush foliage all summer long. They are surprisingly hardy and require little care once established. In the garden, they love a really sunny, hot spot over the summer months, that turns nice and cold in

the winter - they love a good chill! Available in a wide range of pinks, reds, corals and whites, peonies will take your breath away, so don't delay - plant today!

Love Mum As we all know, family is important and it's great to have their support and love. If you are lucky enough to have a great mum, Mother's Day is the perfect opportunity to show your appreciation by doing something special together or spoiling her with a lovely present. So go on... treat your Mum! At Twigland, we have plenty of gift ideas especially if she is botanically minded. Whether she's a master gardener, or just has a penchant for all things pretty - our garden inspired gifts will delight - and we offer free gift wrapping too! And if you still can't decide, a Twigland Gift Voucher will allow her to choose what she really wants!

A tidy site is a safe site

13

MAY 3 TO MAY 14, 2019

Free up more time for site progress by letting us take care of the basics.

• We safely and responsibly load and dispose

on minimising site waste

of your waste (up to 6m3) • Accelerated process. In and out in one hour

Anyone who’s worked (or lived) on a building site will know how messy it can become. It’s no reflection on builders, of course – it’s only natural that debris will pile up when you’re creating something new.

Cleaning up the site can be a real headache for contractors, never mind property owners – but that’s where Tidy Site comes in. This newly established Wellington company is already being hailed as a life-saver by its satisfied clients.

Based in Miramar, Tidy Site is the brainchild of successful builder James Gardiner. Back in 2017, he recognised an ongoing need for site clearance and maintenance. Instead of putting their building expertise into construction work, builders were using their valuable time picking up materials and safely removing rubbish. It’s estimated that apprentices spend 10 to 20 percent of their time doing just that.

• Gain valuable education time for the apprentice and overall time savings

• Efficient and cost effective

We’ll take care of that

• We support recycling and have a keen focus

What this amounts to is building projects taking longer, costing developers their hard-earned cash.

Tidy Site looks to improve the efficiency of any project with its safe and accelerated site clearance. Whether you’re doing up your home, you need to clear out an office fit-out, or you’re a contractor yourself, James and his team are more than happy to assist.

Residential clients in particular may find it tricky to find a spot to put a skip on Wellington’s narrow streets, or might not have the manpower to move large amounts of rubbish. Tidy Site is the smart alternative, supplying all the vehicle and personnel necessary to rid your home of unwanted material. Tidy Site can also help with maintenance issues that don’t relate to construction. For example, if you’re cleaning out a student flat or you need to remove foliage from an overgrown garden.

For commercial customers, Tidy Site understands that it is not always convenient to efficiently remove rubbish, especially in the heart of the city. They provide rubbish removal and delivery services during shop fit-outs and general office cleaning. Finally, trade customers should note that Tidy Site’s services are now available at your local Placemakers, and for your convenience can be invoiced as part of your monthly statements.

Furthermore, whatever rubbish materials Tidy Site can dispose of sustainably, they will. The team makes the extra effort to recycle any usable site waste, cardboard, plastics, and metals during their process.

Tidy Site is a truly innovative service provided by a hard-working, committed Wellington team. For more information or to make an enquiry, visit their website: www.tidysite.co.nz

SPORT Sports talk

with Jacob Page

Folau fails his role with tirade A case can be made that with Israel Folau set to see his Wallabies and World Cup chances go up in smoke, so do his nation’s chances of lifting the Webb Ellis Trophy.

Wallabies coach Michael Cheika has said he won’t pick his best attacking weapon after a Twitter rant that doesn’t bear repeating more than a fortnight ago.

You have to applaud the moral-

istic stance considering so many Australian sport teams have been lacking any such thing for years.

However, in doing the right thing, the Wallabies lose their only truly world class back, their only consistent line-break threat and with it, any slim chance they had of winning their first World Cup since 1999.

Rest assured, their chances of

winning it were slim with him in the squad but now it’s hard to find where they’ll get the attacking punch needed to compete beyond the group stages in Japan.

Folau’s fall from grace is a cautionary tale for anyone with a social media presence, which let’s be honest, is almost all of us.

Social media rants and the spilling of hate, even under the

guise of religion, can come back to haunt you sooner, or later.

Folau, who is married to New Zealand netball shooter, Maria Folau, has flown close to the wind with expressing his beliefs in the past but with his national teammates and coaches coming out against his comments, it appears his time in Australian rugby is up.

For those who say he’s entitled to his opinion - strictly speaking that is true but the world is more inclusive for the most part now and that’s a good thing.

Australian rugby needs a new star, someone they can market.

No longer is their pin-up boy Israel Folau and Folau only needs to find a mirror to see the reason why.

keeper no chance at all.

North Wellington supporters however reached for the rescue remedy with more than 30 minutes to run on the clock when Craig Bailey was sent from the field for deliberately handling the ball to prevent a goal.

Lower Hutt converted the penalty to make it 2-1 and the momentum shifted against the home side.

Pulse rates went down again at the 70-minute mark when Hughes-Mason was played onside by a Lower Hutt error and expertly chipped the visitors’ keeper to make it 3-1.

With four minutes of regulation time left to play, Ryan Worrall coolly slotted a well-driven penalty after Jackson Manuel was tripped inside the box for a final score of 4-1.

The Triples Champion of Champions winners, from left: Ian Franklin, Brendon Gibson, Rex Knox. PHOTO: Supplied

Johnsonville’s outstanding 2018-2019 bowls season continued with some outstanding performances in the recent Wellington Champion of Champions events.

As the bowls season draws to a close Bowls Wellington holds tournaments in various disciplines to find the champion club in the Wellington region.

Each Wellington club is represented by their champion team in a knock-out tournament.

The Johnsonville Men’s Triples Team started it all off by winning the Wellington Champion of Champions Triples Title a few weeks back.

Due to some inclement weather in the weekend the semi-final and final was moved to a Wednesday night and played indoors at the new Naenae

complex.

The Johnsonville team was made up of Brendon Gibson, Ian Franklin and Rex Knox.

Brendon skipped the Johnsonville trio as a replacement for Bruce Henderson who was overseas.

This was Brendon’s 13th Wellington title over his distinguished bowls career while Ian elebrated his first Wellington Championship win.

Rex clocked up his seventh win, amazingly 15 years after winning his last Wellington title.

Johnsonville took out the final against the Hutt Club 18-17 after earlier eliminating representatives from Titahi Bay, Silverstream and Miramar.

Avon Compton also added to the trophy cabinet for John-

sonville, winning the Junior Men’s Singles Champion of Champions event.

Avon won the final, comfortably beating his Naenae opponent 21-10 at the Hutt club in another re-scheduled game due to wet weather.

In the Champion of Champion Pairs competitions both the Johnsonville women’s and men’s representatives made it through to the final.

Kaaren Guilford and Robyne Bishop got very close losing their final by 14-15 against the winners from Tawa.

The experienced men’s pair of Grant Wakefield and Rob Ashton also went down by one point, 15-16 against Eastbourne in a game that was not decided until the very last bowl of the final.
