Tale of tragedy

By Glenise Dreaver

A new information board has just been erected at Karori Cemetery’s national memorial to the 151 victims of the 1953 Tangiwai railway tragedy.

The cemetery is the last resting place for at least twentyeight of the 151 who died that Christmas Eve when the Wellington to Auckland express, which left at 3pm, pitched into the Whangaehu River at Tangiwai, 10 km west of Waiōuru.

Tangiwai tragedy told in new Karori memorial Continued from page 1.

The exact number in Karori cemetery is unknown but sixteen have named graves, wh ile eight un identif ied people: “Known Unto God” are also there. In one of the cemetery’s memorial walls lie the ashes of at least another four who were cremated.

Just before the train arrived at the bridge, it had been swept away by what could basically be described as a tsunami, a six-metre high wave of water, ice, mud and rocks from the crater lake of Mt Ruapehu.

Yet, says local railway historian David Cuthbert, the marble memorial with the 151 names at the top of the cemetery recorded only that they had died “in the Tangiwai disaster”.

He knew that puzzled people, because he regularly walks the one and a half kilometres from the front gate with the family dog Dickson.

“I’d hear them ask ‘What disaster?’.”

It was, says David, not labelled as a railway disaster

because of union insistence on respect for the railway crew.

And they had, he says, done everything they should have.

They had picked up the tablet – the metal device left by the crew of the previous train that signalled all was well to proceed.

In the short time between

the tablet pick-up and the train reaching the bridge, it was washed away.

David, however, lobbied for the site to include more detail, gaining the support of local MP Grant Robertson, the Associate Minister for Arts, Culture and Heritage.

The Ministry for Culture

and Heritage has just erected a board at the other end of the site.

It includes a photograph of the disaster taken on Christmas Day 1953, and another a week later, of the Duke of Edinburgh with a long row of coffins in the punga-fern-lined grave. (Fourteen were later taken for reburial elsewhere.)

Kaiwharawhara proposal for Cook Strait Ferries Kaiwharawhara is being considered as the preferred site for a potential new multiuser ferry terminal, pending further detailed investigation.

A business case has been made by project partners CentrePort, NZTA, KiwiRail, StraitNZ Bluebridge, Greater Wellington Regional Council (GWRC) and Wellington City Council (WCC).

It was considered by GWRC as the Independent Herald

Please vote for

went to press yesterday, August 21. WCC will consider the proposal at its meeting on September 5.

Eight potential sites were considered, with Kaiwharawhara and King’s Wharf making the shortlist, but Kaiwharawhara will now undergo further structural and resilience engineering feasibility studies.

“Kaiwharawhara ticks many of the boxes so far, but we have a long way to go before

we can make a decision on this once-in-a-lifetime investment,” says GWRC economic development portfolio leader Roger Blakeley.

WCC’s chief city planner David Chick says Kaiwharawhara is a logical location.

“It would allow for co-located and more resilient ferry infrastructure and freight services…. We can expect more visitors to the city and further investment opportuni-

ties, with Wellington’s 30-year population growth projections showing a rise of 50-80,000 over the next 30 years.”

Key issues for consideration will be ground strengthening, seismic design of terminals and wharves to keep them open and functioning in a major event, and new transport links to the rail network and Hutt Road.

Completion could be expected in 2028.

Transdev acquires Mana Coach Services Transdev, Metlink’s rail operator since 2016, has agreed terms with Metlink to acquire Mana Coach Services.

The agreement, subject to regulatory approvals, means Transdev Australasia will be responsible for the 66 buses and Metlink bus services that

will continue to be operated

by Mana in the Wellington region.

Barbara Donaldson, chair of Greater Wellington’s sustainable transport committee, says the move is positive for the region’s public transport network.

“Transdev know the unique challenges of operating in our region, the topography, the growth and what customers expect in terms of services,” She also thanked the current owners of Mana Coach Services for their outstanding service and commitment to

customers over the years.

“The team at Mana have been a genuine asset to Wellingtonians and an integral part of the new network,” she says.

Mana Coach Services is one of Metlink’s four bus operators.

Shelly Bay site of campaign launch

By Glenise Dreaver

“There are absolutely no strings attached,” says Wellington mayoral candidate Andy Foster.

The Wharangi Onslow Western Ward councillor is talking about support for his electoral campaign from filmmaker Peter Jackson and his wife, screenwriter and producer Fran Walsh.

They were there as Andy launched his campaign on Friday at the Chocolate Fish Café at Shelley Bay, following that morning’s last-minute submission of his nomination.

Peter and Fran’s support includes helping fund Andy’s campaign, along with providing some plain speaking which has seen Peter contrast Andy’s integrity to what he says is a lack of it in the current leadership.

Andy says the couple are not his only supporters. He made his move after “many” approaches about the council’s direction “or lack of it”.

“People are saying: ‘We really want a change’.”

It is the third time Andy has stood for the mayoralty, this time going head to head with fellow ward councillor Diane Calvert.

She, and the third ward councilor Simon Woolf, have until now worked closely together.

So it is no surprise to find that Andy’s and Diane’s policies include significant similarities.

Like her, he calls for transparency. “No secret deals.”

And they both say Let’s Get

Wellington on a roll The latest Trade Me Property Price Index reports that Wellington’s property market has had an average asking price rise of 14.3 per cent to $652,950.

Head of Trade Me Property Nigel Jeffries says property prices in the region haven’t dipped since 2015.

“Wellington has been the country’s quiet achiever, with Auckland hogging the headlines. Wellington’s property market has been increasing considerably in the background.”

Wellington Moving is politically compromised.

“Ineffective, overpriced and slow in delivery with public transport,” says Andy, “The one practical thing the city council can do is deliver bus priority,” he adds.

The two also agreed that given proposed spending of billions of dollars on future mass transit, it would be irrational not spend something on the existing bus

service for benefits now.

Andy has been particularly active in environmental restoration and predator control and has also chaired the finance, audit and risk management subcommittee.

In that role, he made a stand on July 4 2018, the only dissenting voice in the council’s adoption of its 10-year-plan, saying there was “very little headroom”.

“What if something goes wrong?”.

“And it did,” Andy now adds, “Things have only got worse.”

He points to such issues as the the quake-damaged library and leaky building liabilities.

Fixing those issues and working on other significant opportunities for saving will, he says, be a major focus.

“In many areas we can work smarter and we have to decide to focus on our most important priorities,” he says.

Accolade for Glenside While not a winner, Glenside Progressive Association. members are proud they were a finalist in the heritage and environment category of the Wellington Airport Regional Community Awards presented on July 31.

The association was nominated by their website founder and administrator since 2007, Rex Johnson now of Cromwell.

GPA president Claire Bibby says: “We congratulate the winner, Predator Free Miramar, and Jay Street Community Gardens and Nursery of Paparangi, which was runner up.”

Rex flew in from Otago and joined two association representatives, Claire, and Barry Blackett, at the awards presentation.

Rex, a former resident, says he has watched the contributions and dedication of the GPA community grow over the years.

“These volunteer activities are made in the community, by the community, for the community,” he said in support of his nomination.

Activities that Rex highlighted were volunteers providing ongoing development of the Glenside Halfway House interior furnishing and herit-

age garden, and volunteers researching early identities and historic events for sharing on its website.

He also wrote of the community volunteers who “plant the stream banks, clean out invasive plant species, trap unwanted pests and rodents, and are caretakers to resident birds and eels”.

The special annual events the community shares with the wider Wellington com-

munity were also noted in his nomination.

“Working together on projects has built personal relationships, increased neighbourliness and greater pride in their efforts,” he said. “The greater benefit is that at times of need the community knows where to find, or to offer support to others.”

Claire says that Rex is a champion of Glenside community leadership in heritage and the environment.

“He lived in our community for several years, contributing to streamside restoration projects.

“He is the founder of the association website and although he now lives in Otago, he continues to maintain the website to give visibility to the activities our community is involved in.

“And Rex also visits us at the historic Halfway House every summer and is very supportive of our fabulous community.”

New CBD library service The new CBD library service being developed in the National Library is to be called He Matapihi Molesworth Library.

The new cooperative space on the ground floor of the National Library is expected to open later this year.

He Matapihi means ‘a window’ and national librarian Bill Macnaught says the name highlights the important relationships between the new shared area with the National Library’s He Tohu exhibition and collections.

The new library’s collection will range over Māori and Māori local history, New Zealand fiction, biography, books in Te Reo, art and architecture, natural history, general history and social comment.

It also offers a children’s section, magazines, access to digital services, printing and seating spaces.

Auckland honours Dame Kiri One of the world’s greatest sopranos is being celebrated in a grand theatre tradition, with a permanent tribute to be unveiled at Auckland’s Aotea Centre on November 20.

Aotea Centre’s ASB Theatre will be renamed Kiri Te Kanawa Theatre, with a gala concert to commemorate the occasion and acknowledge her talent and contribution to the arts.

As the guest of honour, the concert will include some of

It’s the one stop shop for all your biking needs.

Dame Kiri’s operatic favourites and will feature the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra conducted by Music Director Giordano Bellincampi, together with the Freemasons New Zealand Opera Chorus.

ASB Bank has held the naming rights to the theatre since it opened in 1990 and the bank’s decision to relinquish these rights makes this tribute possible.

Auckland Mayor Phil Goff says bestowing Dame Kiri’s

name on the theatre honours an extraordinary singer and a remarkable legacy.

“It is fitting that Auckland recognises Dame Kiri Te Kanawa in this way. It acknowledges her incredible contribution to Auckland, to New Zealand, and to the classical music world, as well as her strong connection with the Aotea Centre and the theatre,” he said.

“Dame Kiri was an early champion of the Aotea Centre −

a commitment that culminated in her return to Auckland in 1983 to sing in two fund-raising concerts which raised nearly $500,000 for the campaign.

“I am delighted Auckland is bestowing this honour on one of New Zealand’s iconic artists.”

The full gala concert programme and line-up of artists will be announced on Tuesday September 3 and the tickets will go on sale to the public on Friday September 6 at 10am.

Backing Black at Johnsonville School

By Glenise Dreaver

The children at Johnsonville Primary School are in for a thrill on Friday.

Parent Ben Fisher, who is a high

performance talent manager for the New Zealand Rugby Union, will be taking the World Cup to the school.

They will be having a Blackout Day there to mark the occasion.

Matt Fisher’s dad Ben works for the New Zealand Rugby Union, so he has already beaten his classmates at Johnsonville Primary School in having a chance to touch and hold the Rugby World Cup which the All Blacks will be defending in Japan. PHOTO provided.

Everyone who can will be wearing black as part of the New Zealand Rugby Union’s #Back Black campaign says Ben. Plan A is a Rippa Rugby competition, weather permitting. If that happens, the winning teams will be presented with the cup to hold (for a while anyway…)

But the weather report is a bit “iffy”, so the back-up will be the cup doing the rounds with 30 minutes in each class, with photos and some education around rugby and the upcoming tournament.

(For those who don’t follow rugby closely, that’s in Japan and will run from September 20 into November 2. World Cup holders the All Black’s first match will be against South Africa on September 21.)

The school’s Home and School Committee is using the opportunity to run a rugby-themed baking sale after school, providing the chance for parents and older kids to come along and share the fun.

Wayne Rudd, John Apanowicz (also standing for the Takapu Northern Ward electorate and the Capital and Coast DHB ) Christine Grace (current chair) Hamish Todd, Chris Renner and Darren Hoskins.

There are twenty four Capital and Coast District Health Board candidates for thirteen places.

These are: Letitia O’Dwyer, Nathan Clark, Sue Kedgley, John Apanowicz (also standing for the Takapu Northern Ward and the Makara /Ohariu Com-

munity Board), Marion Clark, Vanessa Simpson, Roger Blakeley, Ayesha Verrall, David Shand, Shan Ng, John Peters, Eileen Brown, Janet Holborow, ‘Ana Coffey, Glenda Hughes, Kathryn Adams, Chris Kalderimis, John Fiso, Susan Turner, Letitia Isa, Alvin Mitikulena, Simon Marsh and Stephen Grice The names of the Greater Wellington Regional Council candidates were to be released after the Indpendent Herald went to print.

New candidate for Takapu ward Developer John Peters is one of the hopefuls standing for the Takapu Northern Ward.

In 2000 he migrated to New Zealand from Goa in India, where he was a banker.

Since then he has worked at a variety of jobs, not least driving a taxi and working towards a heavy truck licence.

He says his first house was in Newlands at which stage his career in property development began. A Weltec qualification in heavy engineering followed and he then bought some lots in Johnsonville from which base he bought and sold houses here, then in Lower Hutt He shifted to Australia, moving into property investment in both Melbourne and Western but, he says, he and his wife have returned to a 20-acre block in Tawa.

Now, says John, he is looking at the chaos here in public transport and its shortage of drivers, so is renewing his P licence so he can drive buses for Metlink .

John Peters: A newcomer standing in Takapu, Northern Ward in the WCC elections on October 12. PHOTO supplied.

John says he is standing for office because: “It is time to give back to the community which has accepted me, given unconditional love, safety and a respectable life.”

Showcasing designer works from Johnsonville base

By Glenise Dreaver

Last Thursday, designer Désirée Turner of Johnsonville

appeared at the national Eco Fashion runway show as an invited showcasing designer.

She was one of a group of na-

tional and international designers who featured at the event in the Lower Hutt Town Hall, part of the NZ Eco Fashion Runway

Budding designer Aria Taylor (eight today!) had the thrill of her life appearing on the Eco Fashion Runway with her mother, designer Desiree Taylor and model Christa Roberts, at the Lower Hutt Town Hall’s Hutt Winter Festival last Thursday.

Show, the opening act for The Hutt Winter Festival.

And she was a judge in the Upcycle Challenge section of

Emilia Cabral wearing one of Désirée‘s environmentally friendly creations, a blue cotton shirt dress with waist belt worn over a navy viscose slip dress.

Are you looking for support and solution?

the show, where entrants have to take an old garment and recreate it.

Désirée, who does her design and sewing work from her home, has for ten years had her own label Désirée, and since March has been selling from her boutique store Désirée in Petone.

Her signature ready-to-wear style of clothes she describes as “comfortably chic”, with garments suitable for work, or dressed down for the weekend.

There’s not a lot of evening wear in her collection and bridal work is definitely the exception. (She has to know you to do that, because there’s no room for Bridezillas. At all.)

Désirée says that much of her approach comes from her experience of several years with Rembrandt Suits in Lower Hutt.

Her love of tailoring and experience there stands her in very good stead, she says.

“People are just blown away by changes that can be made to a neckline or hem.

“What a difference a perfect fit makes. And that’s just all part of our service.”

She showed four garments on the night, her model Christa Roberts (above) dressed in environmentally friendly clothing, starting with a white frilled bamboo top. “That’s one of the fabrics from the most renewable sources,” she says.

The grey marled organic cotton skirt had hand applied polka dots on the pockets in a mix of pale pink, gold and burgundy.

readers have their say... Find out the WORD on the Street.

Question: Will you be bothering to vote in the council elections?

Ben Fraser, Grenada Village “I’m not sure yet ... I haven’t voted before.”

Carol Hardie, Newlands “I always vote.To tell them ‘Stop wasting our money!’.”

Jeff Sheerin, Khandallah “Oh God yes! I always vote. Then you can’t complain.”

Priyanka Maisuriya, Johnsonville “Yes! Everyone should.”

Jeannette O’Callaghan, Johnsonville “I will be voting. I vote every election.”

Diane Steffensen, Karori “I will be voting. There is one candidate that sticks out a mile that I will be voting for, Simon Woolf.”

EYE ON CRIME In Johsonville a blue 1997 Mazda Demio hatchback, parked during the late afternoon and early evening in the Park and Ride in Gothic Street, was stolen.

A male went to sleep in his trailer which was parked in Aotea Quay.

While he was asleep someone disconnected the trailer from the vehicle which had towed it to the carpark and connect it up to another vehicle which towed the trailer to a service station in

Johnsonville Road.

The victim woke up to find himself in a strange location and called Police. The two males who towed the trailer to the service station claimed that they thought they were doing the victim a favour because he had earlier asked for towing assistance.

In Khandallah the Vincent De Paul charity shop in Ganges Road was broken into. Intruders unscrewed the lock on the main

door to gain access and a TV and a CCTV camera were stolen.

Two nights later another attempt was made to enter the shop but was unsuccessful as the main door withstood the attempts to force it open and the burglars abandoned the attempt.

Also in Ganges Road, the premises of a catering company was entered through a rear bathroom window that had been forced open. Two large Ipads and charg-

ers, a mini Ipad and charger, a smart phone and charger, a speaker, a First Aid kit and bank cards were among the items stolen.

A house in Hindmarsh Street was entered through a smashed front bedroom window and a bottle containing coins was stolen.

Both front and rear passenger windows of a black BMW stationwagon parked overnight in Nicholson Road were smashed to gain entry. A laser measure and

some keys were stolen.

Nothing appears to have been stolen from a black Audi hatchback parked overnight in Nicholson Road, which was broken into via a jemmied door. The contents of the vehicle were taken out and scattered on the road.

Two windows of a white Honda Integra hatchback parked overnight on the road in Calcutta Street were smashed to gain entry and a large size black hoody was stolen.

Now’s the time for predator action

By Glenise Dreaver

Jim Tait of Wilton keeps tabs on predator action throughout the northern and western suburbs – and he’s stressing the need to “really hammer” the rat population before the birds start nesting.

“I see that the tui, blackbirds and kaka in our garden are all starting to get amorous so now

is the time for action,” he says.

“Make sure your traps are baited and regularly checked.

And if you are using poison bait keep the bait stations topped up.”

Jim has some comments about recent reports of monster rats chewing up bait stations and damaging electrical wiring and plumbing.

It appears, Jim says, that the

damaged stations had food in them rather than poison, with the intention of getting the rats familiar with them and marking them as a safe place to eat.

The “monsters”, he says, are very likely to be Norway rats.

“They are larger than ship rats and certainly in our area we’re catching more of them.”

That could be because in reducing the number of ship

rats, Norway rats have taken their place.

Though the rats are bigger this year, catch figures throughout the area are not showing a huge increase, though there could be several reasons for that.

“While I would like to think we have them suppressed, I suspect that there are other issues, such as gaps in the trapping network.

“And maybe we have a degree of trap-shyness as we have been doing this for over three years.”

The predators may also be bored with the same old bait and Jim says it could be worth trying something different.

“Anything with a high fat content seems to work.”

And putting your trap in a different part of your backyard can also be an effective move.

Wadestown sighting of mystery flying creature

Apply now for Meridian’s Power Up Community Fund

Kelvin Hastie: on the trail of a native long-tailed bat PHOTO: Provided

At Meridian, we’re committed to doing good things with our energy. To do good for people, and good for the environment.

So, we’re proud to back local projects in communities around our wind farms and hydro stations with our Power Up fund.

“I’m pretty convinced it’s a native bat,” says local conservationist Kelvin Hastie.

He’s talking about three possible sighting sof a creature recorded only once in Wellington in recent years.

And he believes that sighting, at Zealandia in 2002, was never actually confirmed.

He adds that the three images he’s been studying look very similar to some Department of Conservation images he’s been looking at.

Bats, New Zealand’s only native mammal, were not known to be in the Wellington urban area, though Jim Tait of Otari Predators says that could be because no-one has looked.

“An Otari-Wilton’s Bush volunteer told me that a colony was known to be in the area of the Troup Picnic area about 15 years ago.”

Kelvin’s detective work began after one predator trapper in Norwich Street found more than he expected after setting a trail camera to watch his traps. (He wasn’t sure they were working.)

The trapper learnt a lot.

First he observed hedgehogs walking right past his traps, and the one rat that was killed by his Goodnature self-setting trap was taken away by a cat within 15 minutes.

But twice, when the camera had been triggered by a cat, he saw something flying past.

His video footage was sent to a couple of people to try to determine whether it was a large puriri moth or maybe a native bat.

Kelvin was consulted, and he lent the trapper a more sophisticated camera that kicks in in under a second so that whatever was flying past would trigger it.

You can see one result of that on https:// www.facebook.com/1725576934371425/ videos/496299601148878/ He says it could be a long-tailed bat.

Now things are getting serious after his Facebook posting on the topic. Another local resident offered them an ultrasonic device to record the bat sounds.

That’s going in on Monday or Tuesday.

So watch next week’s Independent Herald for the latest on the topic.

Helicopter supports new work at Otari-Wilton Bush

By Glenise Dreaver

The chair of the Otari-Wilton Bush Trust Phil Parnell says the helicopter that closed some trails in the bush sanctuary on Thursday morning was lifting in materials for a conservation and viewing platform on the Upper Blue trail.

It is being built to allow viewing of the oldest tree in Wellington, a huge 800-year-old rimu.

“Well, we’ve been saying 800 years for the last 40 years that I

know of,” says Phil. “So perhaps it’s time for a recount….”

The platform will seat about twenty people he says, allowing for a better view of the forest giant which is 27.3m high and measures 5.58m around its girth at a height of 2m. The crown spread is 15m.

With school groups coming in, and some 60 big groups a year, mainly from tour buses and cruise ships, Phil adds that the platform will also protect the huge root system, which can get damaged from the pressure

of too many visitors.

The helicopter was needed to get in materials and tools, landing them in a spot close to the rimu.

For those doing the building, this avoids carrying in materials, which included some pre-fabricated sections.

“Otherwise, it would have had to be carried down and up a 140 metre rise, with an awful number of steps – and mud – each day,” Phil says, adding that mud’s not good for either the people or the timber.

Super Bed Savings

The trust has put $25,000 towards the Wellington City Council’s construction cost.

That’s gathered from dona-

tions, events and guiding up to 60 tourist groups each year.

Work is expected to be completed within a month.

Young man’s sacrifice honoured Last Monday proved a brilliantly sunny day for a very special memorial service in Northlands.

At 1.15pm, with a spectacular view

from the lookout in James Stellin Memorial Park, about thirty people gathered to pay tribute to the sacrifice made by a former Scots College boy seventy five

years ago to the day.

It was on August 19 1944 when Pilot Officer James Stellin gave his life, at the age of 22, by delaying bailing out of his plane to steer past the French village of Saint-Maclou-la-Brière.

That village in Normandy, which was home to 370 people, remembers his sacrifice every year, This year, Scots College boys and old boys, staff and Northland community members joined WCC councillor Simon Woolf, two RNZAF representatives and two from the French Embassy to pay their tributes.

Two college pipers played Amazing Grace, Castle Dangerous and a Lament by one of the duo, Marco Davis.

The eulogy was read by old boy Col-

legian Francis Weavers, using the words presented in both English and French by another old boy, John Webb, now of Geneva, during the D Day celebrations in France.

There were also prayers and a wreath laying.

James is also remembered annually in the village in Normandy where his grave is preserved as a Commonwealth War Grave, and the town square, Stellin Place, is named after him.

The Stellin family had Northland connections and James father John, a property developer who died in 1964, left the Northlands site in his will for a memorial park for his son. He also endowed the library at Scots College in James’ name.

The anatomy of dyslexia As Ronald D. Davis says, “Dyslexia is not a complexity. It is a compound of simple factors that need to be dealt with step-by-step”.

The first of these factors is the ability to think in pictures. Picture thinking, typically at 32 pictures a second, is a lot faster than thinking with the sounds of words (typically 100-200 words per minute). It shows in higher intelligence, creativity and problem solving abilities that picture thinkers exhibit. The pictures are 3-dimensional and very realistic. The individual can quickly imagine what an object, such as a chair, looks like from in front, behind, above, below – any angle at will. This second factor is not a problem in itself, but when this ability is used to understand 2-dimensional symbols, picture-thinkers become confused. In its simplest

form, a dyslexic can confuse b for d or p or q by looking at it or imagining it from different perspectives. In this way a dyslexic can confuse words like was and saw, become a creative speller, show incorrect grammar with incorrect word order in a sentence, or show illogical thoughts by disordered sentences or paragraphs within an essay. Because picture thinking is so fast, they write slower than they think, miss out parts of the story and become frustrated by the process.

As picture thinkers read, they have a movie going in their imagination. With words like brown horse jumps white fence green paddock, the movie is clear.

When they come across words like the over a and into there are no pictures.

Typically they skip over or substitute these words. This causes the movie to

The Davis™ methods have been developed to utilise the picture thinking ability of dyslexic individuals. During the 30-hour programme, clients are given “tools” and exercises to identify and control confusion, address and eliminate the sources of confusion and allow a relaxed state of focus to be used for learning. These new strategies quickly replace the old ones as they bring success and improved self esteem to the student.

Since 1980 Davis™ Programmes have helped thousands of people overcome learning difficulties associated with dyslexia allowing them to progress in the education system and the workplace. There are now over 400 facilitators offering help to adults and children in 40 countries across the globe.

blip like a scratched DVD; too many blips and the video jams. Often you hear words like “This is dumb/stupid/ boring” because the movie has stopped and there are no pictures in their heads.

They can’t understand what they have just read. Eye rubbing, hair pulling, fidgeting and other strategies have helped in the past but don’t always work. The third factor, difficulty dealing with confusion, results in dyslexia.

Consequently, dyslexics learn a myriad of little tricks to help them get by. They spend their days putting their minds through hoops, working many times harder than others to achieve less output. A dyslexic often day dreams as they wait for the feeling of confusion to disappear. When learning becomes painful, avoidance strategies come to the fore. We see the class clown, the most helpful child, the quiet head-down approach or the naughty child who prefers to be known as that rather than dumb. These solutions and defensive behaviour patterns disable a person’s ability to learn.

A hot streak at Simmer By owner Steve Hodson, Simmer Cafe

Few people but my staff know that I’m a chilli head. So it wasn’t a surprise when the question was raised by Steve at the Independent Herald (and one of my regular customers at Simmer), about the story of my championship chilli eating.

I showed him the Dragonfire super hot chilli sauce range and told him the tale of engulfing the sun.

In 2018 as a stove jockey for 22 years & owning two cafes for the last 12 years, I was never one to shy away from an eye-watering challenge. Having always

been in the kitchen with hardened chefs and cooks who were into knives, fire and questionably interesting (dependent on the current kitchen crew) competitions in the pursuit of excess, an opportunity came up to enter the Chilli Eating Competition, so I thought I’d give it a go. This was run by the maker of Dragonfire hot sauce, chilli farmer and old friend Clint Myer. I thought it may be slightly more dignified than the glutton-filled, consumption enmass act of hot dog swallowing. Wrong.

It was a struggle; address the chilli, chew for 30 seconds, swallow, wait 5 minutes for the heat to come on hot and repeat for

Donations made towards Daffodil Day (Being held on Friday August 30) enable a wide range of support services, education and programmes for people affected by cancer in this area – and nationwide.

In Johnsonville, there is the Healthy Steps programme on Saturdays during school term 9:15am-10:15am in the St John’s Church Hall.

And a Lymphoedema Support Group meets on the third Tues-

day of every second month from 7pm-8:30pm.

Google NZ Cancer Society Wellington to get contact details for these activities The donations you make will also support the vital scientific research being done into the causes and treatment of all types of cancer.

On the day you can buy daffodils from the society’s stalls, or donate to the volunteer street collectors (on their feet for hours at a time to support the cause!).

Or you can buy Cancer Society merchandise at any time..

Caring for Karori’s young people

By Lauren Simpson

Karori Youth Centre, run out of the local community centre by youth worker Alex Powell, is running a programme three afternoons a week for young people between the ages of 11 and 18.

“It’s a place where they can come and play table-tennis, pool, hang out with adult mentors like myself and do all sorts of other activities,” says Alex.

Karori Community Centre manager Kay Webster explains that one of the things they ask themselves is what skills and attributes they want young people to have.

“One of the things we said was that we wanted them to have some skills about being able to prepare simple meals with simple ingredients,” says Kay. However, the food they make can be just as important as the skills they are gaining through

it.

“We are aware that there is a level of food insecurity with some of the kids who are part of the youth centre,” says Kay. “People think ‘Karori’ and thinks that everybody lives on the brow of Messines Road, and I am not a Messines Matron – if you are, that’s okay – but we are not a homogeneous group.

“Sometimes kids come in with shoes that are barely holding together. We are very aware that

we do Friday night food and if kids aren’t having dinner with us then they might not have dinner.”

The Friday night dinners also include a ‘Youth of the Week’, which recognises a young person showing leadership by doing good things.

“The leaders and I will have discussed who we have seen this week that has done something really good and acknowledge them for it,” says Alex.

“We have one boy who is one of our older young people, and every time he turns up, he turns up with a couple of younger ones with him. He is a bit of a leader and older brother to them.

“However, some people just want to come chill around the back and have a skate,” says Alex. “We have very different pools of young people coming and with my volunteer team and youth workers, we can connect with these young people.”

Empowerment of young people focus of meeting

By Lauren Simpson

Last Wednesday night, Alex Powell and Kay Webster spoke to the Karori Lions Club about the Karori Youth Awards coming up in four weeks.

The two, from the Karori Youth Centre, saw it as important to talk about the awards and nominations with the Lions being a financial supporter.

The youth awards are Karoriwide and are open for the nomination of young people between 11 and 25 years of age who live in Karori or are doing something in Karori.

“The youth awards are an awesome way to empower young people,” says youth worker Alex.

“It is about recognising it is not all take, take, take, but actually about contributing and giving back to the community.”

“It is a great pleasure to be here because those are the values that resonate with Lions, as you are people that actually go, ‘How can we make a difference in our community?’,” adds Kay. Alex says she would love to see people from the Youth Centre receive an award or come down and help run the night. “It would help them feel like they are a part of something bigger than just themselves,” says Alex.

The qualities the Lions Club

members exhibit are what they are looking for in the young people being nominated over the next two weeks, says Kay. Lions president Joanne Knight

says: “As a club we do things for our local community, but we also contribute to areas as a zone in the greater Wellington region.”

SPORT Sports talk

with Jacob Page

Ruthlessness the key in all areas for ABs The All Blacks are not winning .Is everything all right with the All Blacks after Saturday night?

Like beauty, that’s in the eye of the beholder.

It was certainly a refreshingly ruthless 36-0 onslaught led by a mix of youth, Sevu Reece and George Bridge, and renewed performances from experienced players like Aaron Smith and Kieran Read.

The captain has now put in two quality performances in a row.

No longer is he just a guy along for the ride.

Coach Steve Hansen can have a level of vindication in the sense his gamble on finding the right mix of youth and experience, paid off at Eden Park.

However, make no mistake, the Wallabies are an average team, ranked sixth in the world, that the All Blacks made look like world-beaters in Perth.

Keeping the Bledisloe Cup for the 17th consecutive year was

important because it’s a warning shot to the rest of the world but the men in black will face much sterner opposition in the World Cup in Japan.

A three-peat of world titles still seems a long shot, but for those who still believe, Saturday night will be all the encouragement they needed.

The opening pool game against the Springboks is a mouth-watering litmus test for a team still grasping for their identity

- something which has not been an issue so close to previous successful campaigns.

Chopping and changing selections in World Cup year has never proven to be a successful approach.

Need we remember Leon MacDonald at centre and kicking goals in 2003?

Tough calls will need to be made but veterans don’t deserve the right to keep their place based on past triumphs.

The reason the All Black jersey has been so successful for decades has been, in part, because it has never had room for sentimental selections.

Perform or move on.

Tough but fair.

It’s the only approach that will give them any chance in Japan.

Don’t sleep on Liam Squire either.

He can force his way into the 31-strong squad and be a big difference maker if he wants to be.

Results confirmed despite weather

By Grant Stephen

Adverse weather conditions on Saturday leading to some unplayable pitches meant that the

Men’s Central Football League did not conclude all on one day as planned.

This did not stop Western Suburbs from being confirmed

as League champions due to gaining an unassailable lead the week before.

It also did not stop confirmation of the popular view that Welling-

French import Florian Guillin had a strong game for North Wellington against Miramar Rangers in the Capital 1 League on Sunday. PHOTO: Glyn Badcock

ton United would be relegated to the local Capital Premier League competition for 2020 after the club was on the wrong side of a 13-0 hiding which was dished out by Miramar Rangers.

In doing so, Miramar locked in third place for the season while Wellington United will look to rebuild for next year and put their negative 122 goal differential behind them.

Although Wairarapa United lost at home 5-0 to Lower Hutt and also finished on three points, their goal difference of negative 61 meant that they have survived to fight another day at the highest level of regional football.

Napier City Rovers had a solid 3-1 win at home against Wellington Olympic and have locked in second spot for the season.

Napier can now focus on their home semi-final match in the Chatham Cup against Onehunga Sports on Sunday.

There was more chance of growing rice than playing football at Karori and Hutt Parks on Saturday. As such the final matches of the season between Waterside Karori and North

Wellington plus Stop Out and Western Suburbs were postponed.

On a brighter note for the Wellington United club, The Wellington United Diamonds won the Women’s Regional W League competition on goal difference over Wairarapa United when they beat Western Suburbs 6-0 at Newtown Park.

Wellington United also have the chance for more silverware when they host Coastal Spirit in the semi-final of the Women’s national knock out competition, the Kate Sheppard Cup on Saturday.

In the Capital 1 League, the North Wellington Men’s Reserve side were hosted by Miramar Rangers at Wakefield Park. It was the visitors who made the most of the hospitality though with Norths romping to a 9-1 win.

I n t he Women’s P rem ier League, North Wellington had a bye. Results from other matches though meant that North Wellington have secured the title and promotion to the W League with three matches still to play.

Rowing talent in Western Suburbs Samuel Marsden Collegiate School has a new rowing coach with extensive international experience.

Pedro Figueira began his coaching career in the UK, working in clubs including the London Rowing Club, Oxford University Lightweights and Latymer Upper School before returning to his home country of Portugal to work at the University of Coimbra.

After three years there, he became national coach for the Portuguese Rowing Federation, taking several crews to the World Championships at Senior and U23 level.

During his tenure as national coach, Portugal won their first gold medal at a World Cup. Pedro, who has a Bachelor of Law and a Masters in Sports Management, along with a Level

New Marsden head coach Pedro Figueira with some of the Samuel Marsden rowing crew. PHOTO supplied.

Two Rowing Coaching Certificate, moved with his family to New Zealand in 2017 so that, he says, “I can be in the powerhouse of world rowing”.

He wo rke d a t A r a moho Whanganui Rowing Club for

18 months before coming to Marsden.

The school’s rowing committee chair Pip Loughnan says their vision is to develop a truly high performance programme.

“We are confident Pedro’s skills

and experience in different environments and cultures will enable him to help us do that.”

Pedro says he first became interested in rowing in 1988 when, aged 12, he watched an Olympic eight on TV.

“I was hooked and by October 5, 1988 - I remember the exact day - I started training at a local club.” One of his driving passions is to make sure that rowing is fun for the athletes with a focus on their overall wellbeing,
