Continued from page 1. Shared Spaces Karori includes both cyclists and non-cyclists and was formed “to advocate for the best possible transport outcome for the Karori community,” Shared Spaces spokesperson Richard Evans told the meeting.
Richard’s presentation drew loud cheers from the packed St Ninian’s church hall on a number of occasions.
“We have called this meeting to provide awareness to Karori residents and other people that are directly impacted by the council’s current plans to develop cycle lanes from the city to and through Karori,” Richard said.
“The Karori Connections website states that it is about the Karori bus, bike, and pedestrian network; and that it will ‘provide safer, easier connections between Karori, Marsden and the Botanic Garden’.
“However, the main focus of the project seems to be the cycleway in isolation from the bus priority plan and parking management plan.”
Key dates to note, Richard said, work is proposed to begin in early 2024 and public submissions will be open from 11
September.
“As things stand, the cycle lanes will be built before the council has completed a bus priority plan, currently scheduled for 2030, and parking management plan scheduled for 2025.
“Given that timing, cycle lanes will be built to the current plan without any prior consideration of our community’s wider bus [and] other transport needs or parking requirements.
“Our assumption is that most people don’t have any particular objection to the development of cycle lanes, but we are concerned the plans and proposed timelines as they currently stand will: potentially cause greater congestion than we are currently experiencing; have a very detrimental impact on local businesses, community and sporting organisations; [and] severely impact residents living on Karori Road and associated side streets.
Shared Spaces Karori had received the following from the WCC Transitional Team re crossings and parking:
“There are no expected changes at the Karori Road and Donald Street crossings as
a result of this proposal. There is expected parking reduction on Karori Road outside Marsden College. Also, removal of parks on Karori Road opposite Karori Normal to accommodate an uphill cycle lane.”
“From the plans we have seen to date the parking loss is way more extensive than this statement suggests,” Richard said.
Shared Spaces Karori understands that an estimated 250 car parks will be removed from Glenmore Street through to the end of Karori Road beyond Karori Park.
“This will: force local residents without off street parking on to the side streets that are already under pressure; create challenges for elderly, those less mobile, disabled or with children or shopping; impact customer parking for businesses on Karori Road and also put more pressure on side streets and create challenges for deliveries to those businesses; put pressure on local community and sporting events particularly on weekends; [and]
make weekday rubbish collection on Karori Road dif-
ficult.
The key impacts of the proposed cycle lanes include: concerns for how emergency services will operate effectively on Karori Road, as cycle barriers will impede access; for houses on the main road there may well be issues with rubbish collection, access for tradesmen, courier deliveries and use of skips given cycle lane barriers; concerns about cars entering and exiting garages when crossing the cycle lanes; the cycle lanes’ design, which is only one way (uphill); and there seems to be no maintenance plan.
At a Karori meeting organised by Wellington City Council on 18 July, council representatives provided the following commuter statistics: 5% cycle, 50% use the bus and 45% use other means.
“We have been supplied with the WCC Transport Projects Cycle Count Data, which is captured via electronic counters.
“In this example 5,168 travelled city-bound by bike via Karori Tunnel in the month of July this year.

This year is a significant one for local museum Katherine Mansfield House & Garden, it marks one hundred years since internationally acclaimed writer Katherine Mansfield’s death and a variety of events and new publications have appeared throughout the year to celebrate her legacy. The latest local example is a new exhibition of ceramic art by Sophie Florence Arbuckle, who visited Katherine Mansfield House & Garden as a child and has been inspired by Mansfield’s life and writing ever since.
“The ceramic works are influenced by the connection I feel when reading Mansfield’s stories,” says Arbuckle. “Her thoughtful writing creates characters that resonate with readers, as she vividly describes the sights, sounds and smells around them. I found particular interest in understanding what events were happening in Katherine’s own life at the time she wrote each story.”
The exhibition is called Dear Katherine and
Arbuckle has used old English ceramic techniques and taken inspiration from the decor of Katherine Mansfield House & Garden as well as Mansfield’s writing and life. There’s a tea pot shaped like the house and vase decorated with a pattern inspired by one of the house’s wallpapers. Mansfield’s portrait features on many of the pieces, as well as flowers mentioned in her writing. Mansfield died at the age of just 34, suffering from tuberculosis. Her Modernist short stories are acknowledged as having a huge impact on modern literature.
“Even though Katherine’s life was cut tragically short, I know she is honored and respected through the celebration of her legacy,” says Arbuckle. “I hope visitors to the house will enjoy my creations and viewing Mansfield’s legacy through my eyes and hands.”
Dear Katherine runs until 29 October at Katherine Mansfield House & Garden, 25 Tinakori Road, Thorndon. More information at www.katherinemansfield.com.

Talented costume designer
Sarah Tucker is busily working on creating Victorian costumes for Stagecraft Theatre’s upcoming production of the Kate Atkinson play “Abandonment”.
“It’s a passion project,” the Karori resident says. “I just wish I had more time for it.
“I like the challenge of creating something.
“I have done a lot of sewing in the past and this is really an extension of that.”
One of the things Sarah finds very interesting is researching the fashions of the time when the play is set “to make sure it is right for the 1860s.
“I really like the history that comes through when you explore what people were wearing in different time periods.”
As an example, she says, “I noticed in making the costumes this time, you can see the effect of industrialisation on the clothing.”
And when the costumes are made “it’s pretty cool to see once they have put these big hoop shirts on”.
As well as making costumes from scratch, Sarah is also “trawling through op shops and the Statecraft wardrobe”.
Sarah’s sister-in-law Catherine McMechan is directing the play and approached Sarah months ago asking if she would like to make costumes for “Abandonment”.
Sarah though about that for some time, before committing to the project in May.
Stagecraft’s season of “Abandonment” runs from 30 August to 9 September at the Gryphon Theatre, 22 Ghuznee Street.
Most shows are at 7:30pm, apart from a Sunday matinee at 3pm on 3 September and 6:30pm shows on 5 and 6 September.
“Abandonment” is a tale of love and death, family dynamics, and the legacies we leave. Set across two time periods, the echoes between past and present remind us that perhaps the past isn’t as far away as we think.
The playwright Kate Atkinson is best known as a novelist whose books include “Behind The Scenes At The Museum”, “Life After Life”, “God in Ruins”, and “Case Histories”.
“Abandonment” is her first play and has all the hallmarks of her books, including strong characters, witty and well-written dialogue, and existential themes.
The play challenges people to consider whether it possible for them to end, simply disappear. Or do our lives somehow continue to reach forward into the future, touching those yet to come, just as those in the past still have an impact us?
The play is a must for lovers of Kate Atkinson’s books or anyone who likes theatre that not only makes them laugh but also makes them think, Catherine says.
“It’s a really character-driven play, with most of the cast of seven actors playing both a contemporary and a Victorian character.
“As well as that unique acting challenge, there are some fun challenges for the creative team and crew in realising the two time periods,” Catherine says.
In the play, Elizabeth, a childless, forty-ish historian, moves into a flat in a converted Victorian mansion where she is constantly invaded by her adoptive

Khandallah residents Vino and Anselm Martyn raise money each year for Youthline.
Since they moved to New Zealand in 2018 they have raised more than $25,000 for Youthline, and raised even more money in Australia before that.
Vino and Anselm run the fundraisers in memory of their 17-yearold son Anshan, who took his own life around 25 years ago.
“It’s a legacy for our son, Vino says.
“He was born as an angel and he left as an angel.
“We took a long time to come to terms with the loss but we have accepted that we must keep raising awareness.”
In order to help and raise awareness Vino and Anselm set up the charity A V Funding Youth in order to raise funds for Youthline.
This year’s fundraiser is an evening of music, dinner and dance.
It will be held at Atura Hotel, 24 Hawkestone Street, Thorndon, from 5 to 11:30pm on Saturday 4 November.
Tickets are $75 each and are available from Vino, 021 318 466, Anselm, 022 456 3627 or by
emailing avfundingyouth@gmail.
com. People can also use these contacts for more information and any enquiries.
A stellar line-up will entertain those attending the fundraiser.
Karen Jones will perform prelude music, L.O.D Dance Studio will perform and the live band will be The Party Animals. Last but not least Anselm will perform on saxophone and vox.
There will also be a charity raffle, a charity auction and a cash bar.
Youthline is a “with youth, for youth” organisation that supports young people throughout Aotearoa New Zealand.
They have been providing support to Kiwis aged between 12 and 24 years for more than 50 years. Youthline is New Zealand’s leading youth
mental health and youth development organisation.
Funds from A V Funding Youth “will go towards keeping Youthline Wellington so that we can continue to provide support to our young people,” Youthline manager Vicki Beachen says.
“Generous donations like yours helps us to create a professional and effective service so that our helpline volunteers can answer calls, texts, emails and webchat messages from people who are in need and also run interactive programmes that help develop our community, like our youth development, mental health peer support and education programmes.”
Vino and Martyn are still seeking businesses and organisations that can help support the fundraising. They are seeking donations for ad-
vertisements in the programme booklet that will be distributed at the dinner dance evening. There are four categories of advertisements available: platinum, $200 for the last
page; gold, $100 for a full page; and silver, $50 for a half page. People interested in providing an advertisement can make contact at the above contact details.
Women and Leadership
New Zealand has announced a new round of scholarships to enable more women in the public sector to undertake career-enhancing leadership development programmes.
Applications for the scholarship are now open and can be made at womenandleadership.co.nz. Applications close on 15 September.
By combining cutting-edge
leadership theory with practical application, and a flexible part-time delivery, Women and Leadership New Zealand offers an unparalleled learning experience designed to fit into a busy schedule.
Partial scholarships ranging from $1,000 to $7,000 are available for four programs tailored to women at every stage of their careers in the public sector.
Women outside formal leadership roles can apply for a scholarship of $1,000 towards the Impact Programme.
Early career and aspiring leaders can apply for a scholarship of $1,000 towards the Leading Edge Programme. Mid-level managers can apply for a scholarship of $3,000 toward the Executive Ready Programme.
Senior and executive leaders can apply for a scholarship of $7,000 toward the Advanced Leadership Programme (for August cohorts, the standard scholarship is $5,000).
“These scholarships are a powerful catalyst for change, supporting more women to make a lasting impact in their workplaces and beyond,” Women and Leadership says.

“Given approximately 15,000 people in Karori, this suggests on average just over 1% of Karori’s population cycle daily.
“Our own statistics gathered on both weekdays and weekends and in various weather conditions confirm a similar low percentage,” Richard said.
“In summary we feel that the council’s cycle lane plans should form part of a wider and more comprehensive plan to address Karori’s transport needs.
“If the aim is to develop transport solutions in line with an overall Climate Action Plan then more emphasis needs to be given to what will make a real difference for our community and develop a better and greener solution for all by ‘moving more people with fewer vehicles’.
“We understand that this has been voted for by the council, however we respectfully ask that council listen to the community ‘take another look’ and consider another round of engagement prior to formal consultation and work with Karori residents and local regular cyclists (not lobbyists) to agree the best solution for Karori,” Richard said.
Before Richard spoke, Wellington City Council’s Chief Planner Liam Hodgetts addressed the meeting.
He said that more than 100 pieces of information provided by people who attended the 17 July meeting in Karori were received.
“Changes have been made based on feedback from the submissions that were made,” Liam said.
“We have retained some car parking ... and provided more parks.
“We are making those changes now,” he
said, noting they were not yet reflected on the plans.
Those changes would be made available for the formal consultation the council would undertake on the Karori Connection plan in September.
“We are going to be on the ground during the engagement period,” he said.
Following the presentation there was an opportunity for people to ask questions.
One question a resident asked was: “Is it worthwhile calling a referendum on the various proposals to see what the Karori people want?”
Both Cr Calvert and Cr Tony Randle stressed the importance of people making submissions to the council during the formal consultation in September.
“It’s important to submit,” Cr Randle said. “I would encourage people to have a say,” Cr Calvert said.
Although not the majority on council, there was a group of councillors who were working “to make sure that the council listens.
“Some of us have been working hard to make sure that the voices of the community are heard.”
It was also important that people supported Shared Spaces Karori.
“Get behind them. Work with them. Shared Spaces Karori do need your support,” Cr Calvert said.
Greater Wellington Regional Councillor Simon Woolf also attended the meeting. His plan, he said, was to go back to his council “with the concerns of this meeting.
“We should be co-designing rather than consulting,” Cr Woolf added.
Members of Onslow Community Church were out and about helping in the community again this past weekend.
“Serving Sundays” have become a regular part of the church’s activities with three scheduled each year.
Church members of all ages help with various needs within the community. Jobs are sourced through the contacts of individuals within the church and from the local community.
“We were pleased to get out after a thunderstorm early Sunday morning threatened the event and were able to help at eight different locations this time,” Community Pastor Pete Rhodes-Robinson says.
“This included some repeat visits to people we helped at our last Serving Sunday in May this year, and a few
new jobs, including a neighbour of one of the people we helped last time.”
Jobs included gardening and weeding, clearing out a basement, preparing a flat for rental, digging out hardfill for a vegetable garden, chopping firewood, water blasting paths and sewing curtains.
“After working together during the day, the church met in the evening to share experiences, have pizza for dinner, and pray for those we helped, and for the wider community,” Pete says.
“It was neat to have one of those we helped join us for that time”.
The church has one more Serving Sunday scheduled for this year, on 19 November, where they will be assisting Khandallah School with their annual “Kaukau Challenge” fundraiser.
I like them because they have cheerio’s and savouries.
They can be as big or as small as you would want them to be. As long as your child is number one and has a wonderful day.
I know we all love our kids but right now times are tough. Nothing wrong with a birthday at home with some friends and family, good food and cake.
I feel like they are bigger and happen every year instead of significant birthdays. 5, 10, and 13.
I think they have gotten bigger and parents feel too much pressure to put on a fancy party with a big expense.
Our most recent birthday parties have proven that celebrations are what you make them. Our eight year old had a disco party at home with the entire class invited, chaos, but so much fun.
A new mural honours the life and contributions of esteemed Wellingtonian Whaea June Te Raumange Jackson MNZM, who helped many people in the greater Wellington region.
The artwork, created by internationally renowned artist Graham Hoete (Mr G), adorns Shed 1 on the Wellington waterfront.
Aunty June Jackson was known for her unparalleled dedication and service to the community, dignitaries, and the wider society. Her extensive portfolio of work encompassed a wide variety of spheres, ranging from her instrumental role in organising major cultural events, to her advocacy for social justice and community empowerment.
As a tribute to June’s immeasurable contributions, Wellington City Council awarded June the Absolutely Positively Wellingtonian Award in 2017.
“June Jackson was a true luminary in the community, tirelessly working to enrich the lives of Wellingtonians,” Wellington City Council’s T tai Heke M ri, Karepa Wall, says.
“She was integral in welcoming dignitaries worldwide, showcasing our city’s vibrant culture and
hospitality.
“Her work extended far beyond official events, as she dedicated herself to numerous social projects, ensuring that the wider community had access to opportunities and resources. Her legacy continues to inspire us all,” Karepa says.
“This mural adds significance as New Zealand and Australia co-host the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023
“June Jackson, a beacon of empowerment and inspiration for women, aligns perfectly with the spirit of this monumental sporting event.
“Her legacy serves as a reminder of the strides women have made in various fields, including sports, and the impact they continue to have on society,” Karepa says.
The project is the final in a series of murals made possible thanks to funding from the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment as part of its work to leverage the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023.
T manako 2.0 was a project to create six large-scale murals by Mr G in collaboration with young female artists, to celebrate past, current and future generations of hine M ori and indigenous athletes.
“June Jackson’s legacy is woven into the fabric of our city.,” Wel-
lington May Tory Whanau says.
“Her contributions have touched the lives of countless Wellingtonians, and this mural by Mr G beautifully encapsulates
her spirit.
“This mural will be a constant reminder of June’s positive impact on our community,” the Mayor says.
Liz Langham has been voted in as a new member of the Tawa Community Board, replacing Janryll Fernandez who resigned in May.
Voting for the two candidates Liz Langham and Cyrus Ranchhod closed on Friday 18 August.
Of the 2,157 total votes counted, Liz gained a seat on the board with 1,678 votes. Cyrus received 479 votes.
Liz has lived in Tawa as a child, teenager, parent, commuter, volunteer, and self-employed worker, which she says gives her a strong understanding of Tawa’s history, geography, and the strengths of its community.
“During a previous term on the board (2017-19), I worked effectively with other board and community members to bring our community’s collective concerns to [Wellington City] Council.
“I offer my services again at this time as I believe that my previous experience, combined with my refreshed energy, will be valuable to the board at this time.
“The experience gained through years of voluntary work and professional social work in health, education, and social services enables me to constructively engage with the range of issues presented to the board.”
Tawa Community Board Chair Jill Day welcomes Liz onto the Board as an
advocate for the community.
“This appointment is a significant role as the board acts as the voice of a diverse and growing community, to share their views at a local government level and address any issues to ensure Tawa is a welcoming, liveable and vibrant place to be for all.
“It’s also worth acknowledging the fact that women are so well represented with over 50% sitting on the board now.”
Liz will be sworn in at the Tawa Community Board meeting on Monday 18 September.
Two suspended services on Metlink’s number 21 bus route between Karori and Courtenay Place have been reinstated.
Metlink is also planning for the resumption of 65 other services temporarily removed from timetables last October.
A total of 181 scheduled bus services were suspended in late 2022 to reduce cancellations caused by the national bus driver shortage and to give passengers certainty.
Driver recruitment has reached a level whereby the regional council’s public transport wing can begin to restore services put on hold, Greater Wellington Transport Committee Chair Thomas Nash says.
“The national bus driver shortage has been a painful period for Metlink passengers, bus drivers and everyone involved in public transport, but there is now light at the end of the tunnel,” Cr Nash says.
“By lifting bus driver wages, working to improve conditions and opening an immigration pathway to overseas drivers, government, council, operators and unions have pulled together to restore reliability to the bus network.
“We know there’s more to do and we’ll continue to focus on improving bus driver pay and conditions to make sure our driver workforce is in a strong position now and in the future,” Cr Nash says.
Operating Metlink bus timetables required approximately 675 drivers before the suspensions.
As of 1 August 2023, 596 drivers were on the road and 53 were in training, all of whom
are expected to be working by October. Twenty-six job vacancies remained.
NZ Bus has demonstrated it’s ready to recommence its suspended services, Metlink Group Manager Samantha Gain says.
“NZ Bus has met reliability standards for two months in a row and planning has begun for the operator to resume the other 65 suspended services from early-October.” Ms Gain says.
“We’re grateful for our passengers’ patience during this long and seemingly intractable labour shortage. We ask them to bear with us a bit longer while we recruit and train the last cohort of drivers.”
Resuming suspended services is a testament to its local and international recruitment efforts, Russell Turnbull, spokesperson for Kinetic, the new owner of NZ Bus, says.
“Driver recruitment and improvement in service delivery have been the top priorities for Kinetic since we acquired NZ Bus last year.
“We’re delighted to see the drivers we hired from overseas now thriving in their new home,” Mr Turnbull says.
“Together with our local recruits, they’ve gelled with our existing workforce to cancel the cancellations.”
Cancellations are also trending down on routes operated by Tranzurban, whose suspended services will be reinstated when reliability standards are consistently met. As always, passengers are advised to check timetables on the Metlink app or website before travelling.

Hey Everyone! Winter has made its late appearance and everyone we are all wearing the Winter Blues reluctantly. With a sick wife and new born at home, it is important to do our best to get through this patch of cold weather. Here are some quick tips to keep warm at home.
1. Seal Air Leaks
One of the biggest culprits of heat loss is air leaks. These leaks can occur around windows, doors, and even electrical outlets. To prevent heat from escaping your home, it’s important to seal any air leaks you find. You can use caulk or weatherstripping to seal gaps around windows and doors. Old, uninsulated ceiling downlight housings also leak air, so it may be a good time to switch to LED.
2. Check Insulation
Insulation is essential for keeping your home warm in the winter. If your home is poorly insulated. Insulating ceiling space and under the house makes a massive difference. Check that nothing is moved and there are no gaps. If you have gaps, it would be like putting on a blanket with holes. Get yourself a roll of insulation and top up it up.
3. Efficient Heat-pump Use
Rather than just turning on your heat pump on high when you are cold and turning it off. A better way to use your heat pump would be to keep it on a low setting over time. I personally leave it on low heat at 20 degrees, and it takes the chill out of the whole area, this has made a difference to the power bill.
4. Trim Plants
Apart from the obvious need to paint and clean your exterior cladding, one area that most people forget about is clearing soil/paving/plants away from the cladding. Anything that is covering your wall cladding or soaking up against it will be creating moisture issues on your property. This is caused by the dampness left on the cladding and condensation inside the walls. Cut back plants away from
the house, and let your house breathe a little.
5. Air out the house!
Sometimes it may feel counter-productive, but making sure your house has fresh air is also important when dealing with damp, humid rooms. If you have that teenager that never opens a window, the recycled dampness will be making the room colder than it needs to be. A quick air-out and avoiding drying laundry inside will make a big difference.
Wellington Winters can be harsh, especially when a southerly wind hits, but hopefully if you prepare nice and early this year, you’ll stay cosy right though. If you ever want to discuss the maintenance of your property or the Real Estate market in general, get in touch – love to hear from you!
Have a great week!
The Probus Club of Johnsonville at its recent meeting welcomed guest speakers from the Wellington SPCA who were accompanied by two absolutely delightful and very well behaved homeless puppies.
The SPCA has been in New Zealand for 151 years and in Wellington for 131 years.
The first meeting of the SPCA in New Zealand was held in 1872. Twelve years later it was given legal recognition and the power to enforce anti-cruelty laws.
The SPCA became the Royal New Zealand Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Inc in 1953, but it wasn’t until 1969 that inspector warrants were issued to females.
In 1999, the Animal Welfare Act was passed with the SPCA being the only charity entrusted with upholding this law.
The Act was amended in 2015 to recognise animals as sentient beings. This served to confirm that animals are aware of their feelings and emotions, capable of feeling pain, frustration, fear, joy, contentment and comfort.
In 2017 the SPCA organised itself to become a single national organisation with 29 centres.

There is no commitment for carers to adopt their foster animal, nor is there any cost involved.

The current annual operating cost is $63 million of which the government provides only $5 million (8% of the total). The balance is raised through donations and various fundraising activities.
The Wellington Centre has been in existence for 131 years, and for the last 10 years has been located in what was once the Fever Hospital on Mount Victoria.
It has approximately 850 volunteers of which about 300 act as foster parents to animals.
There is always a need for more volunteers and families to foster those animals that could benefit from the comfort of a warm and quiet space to grow and recover until a permanent home can be found for them.
The Wellington Centre welcomes volunteers to work with adult dogs, puppies, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, turtles, birds, fish and other animals.
The Vetcare area contains animals that are undergoing some form of veterinary treatment or observation and is the preferred area for those student volunteers who are embarking on animal related studies.
The Probus Club of Johnsonville members were astonished to hear that last year the SPCA Vet Clinic at the Wellington Centre desexed 1,182 animals and performed 161
The SPCA gives fosterers all the supplies they need, the only requirement being that they will be available when necessary to take their charges to any Vet appointments. It is not unusual for a foster parent to form a close bond with their animals and end up adopting them.
The fostering experience allows the care giver to learn about their animals personality and to watch them develop and grow. This of course can result in them eventually falling in love with the animal they are caring for. Some other ways people can help the SPCA is to make toys for the animals.
The centre often has old sheets that can be torn into strips and plaited to make dog toys. People inclined towards knitting or crocheting often create playthings, normally in the shape of mice or fish.
Patterns for these items can be found at www.spca.nz In addition, the SPCA always needs blankets, newspapers, toys, cardboard rolls and similar items.
As one of the more than 4,500 Probus Clubs located around the World, the Probus Club of Johnsonville meets at St John’s Church Hall at 10.30am on the last Thursday of the month. All retirees and semi-retirees seeking fun and friendship are welcome to attend.

Plants convert sunlight to carbohydrates which is the energy that makes them grow. This is called photosynthesizing.
The more direct sun light the faster the growth and the better the plant.
I remember many years ago attending a Horticulture seminar at Massey University where a number of people from other counties were also present.
Two nurserymen from Alaska that I become friendly with; I asked them the question about growing crops that take 9 months or more to mature and that because of their only 6 months of light then 6 months of darkness how that would affect growth?
They said no problem as during the 6 months of light they have sunlight 24 hours a day.
Plants never stop growing and what would take us say 9 months to grow they grow in half that time or less.
If you are near the equator such as in the Philippines where I saw that every day the sun came up at about 6am and went down quickly at 6pm. This is about the pattern 365 days of the years so they have about 12 hours of sunlight everyday.
Plants grow fast over there with the light, temperature and rain/ humidity.
I would love to spend time there growing stuff as it would be like midsummer here all year round.
Plants can also grow under artificial lights and the newer LED lights are cheap and good to aid plant growth as they produce the ‘blue light spectrum’ which is great for plants but not so good for our eyesight.
In glasshouse nurseries artificial light is used to extend day light hours in the winter by turning the lights on 2-3 hours before sunrise and again for 2-3 hours after sunset.
Direct sunlight is needed to produce flower buds on many plants and with insufficient light, no flower buds.
It is again sunlight that will cause flower buds to open and produce pollen and nectar to lure the bees which will allow pollination to take effect.
Insufficient light means either no nectar, no pollen or no open flowers which means no crop in fruit trees.
Some plants have adapted to living in shaded situations where they get little or no direct sunlight and plants like that normally have large leaves so they can catch whatever light they can get, direct or reflected.
That’s why large leaf plants such as philodendrons are suitable for growing indoors away from light sources like windows.
Small leaf plants such as maidenhair ferns must have a bright light situation which is normally within a metre of a bright light window.
Last season we had too many cloudy, overcast, hazy days and far too few blue sky days with nice white fluffy clouds. In fact recently, when talking to gardeners from different parts of the country I ask what the weather is like and if they say sunny with blue skies and white fluffy clouds I ask if they’ve taken a photo of it. They ask why? And I say to show your grand children in years to come, otherwise they will not believe you.
That’s how bad its getting which is making growing plants more difficult and that means our food crops.
It also means that solar panels are not going to produce the same amount of electricity as they do with direct sunlight, in fact I often compare solar panels to plant leaves that are both creating energy from sunlight.
There are reasons why the blue skies of times past are not any
where as much as present times but If I start talking about the reasons several people will unsubscribe from these weekly articles.
But no matter what obstacles are thrown at us there are always ways to overcome by slight changes in the way we do things.
In this case take a tablespoon of molasses and dissolve into a litre of hot water and when cooled down add 10 mils of Magic Botanic Liquid.
Place into a one litre trigger sprayer and spray the foliage of plants you want to grow bigger, better and faster.
Leave the spray bottle in a shaded spot near to where you are going to use it and so when you are walking by you can give the plants a spray till all gone.
Then simply make up another batch.
I call it liquid sunshine as it gives plants a free lot of carbohydrates that they do not need to have
sunlight to achieve.
If you want to see what difference it makes then plant six seedlings of cabbages in a place suitable to grow them; then spray only three of them with the Liquid Sunshine frequently and watch to see the difference.
Mark with a small stake the ones you are going to spray so you know the difference.
The sprayed ones will likely have larger leaves, grow bigger faster and mature earlier.
Once you have determined there is a difference then you have full knowledge to do the same with all food crops to great advantage. As an aspect of the treatment you may also find that the treated plants have less insect pest problems but may encourage more ant problems.
If that is the case then obtain some of our Granny Mins Ant Bait and put that out in lids as an old fashioned control that works much better than most similar products these days.
Wellington City Council, along with seven other councils in the Wellington region, are consulting on the Draft Wellington Region Waste Management and Minimisation Plan (WMMP) 2023–2029 to transform how they deal with waste and foster a sustainable future.
The consultation is now open and closes on Friday 1 September.
“The Wellington region generates a significant amount of waste,” Wellington Region Waste Management and Minimisation Plan Joint Committee Chair Councillor Iona Pannett says.
“While some progress has been made over the last decade, there is still much work to do.
“We have a shared responsibility to address the urgent problem of waste generation which not only affects the current health of our environment, but also has far-reaching consequences for climate change, biodiversity, and public health.
“A conscious effort has been made to include a Te Ao ri world view.
“This is a work in progress and we look forward to further k ro with our mana whenua partners.
“The truth is that our current consumption habits are generating an overwhelming amount of waste,” Cr Pannett says.
“Individuals, businesses, and local councils in the Wellington region are being encouraged to come together and take decisive action against waste.
“Simple changes like buying less, using reusable items, diverting food waste from
landfill, and becoming recycling experts will lead to tangible change,” says Councillor Pannett.
The WMMP is a comprehensive plan that includes a set of regional actions and targets.
Additionally, each council has a local action plan, with the three Wairarapa councils having a joint action plan. These plans are tailored to meet the unique needs and opportunities for our communities in each city and district within the region.
Practical initiatives like kerbside recycling, food waste collection, organic waste options, litter monitoring, and advocacy for better national policies will contribute to the vision of a cleaner, greener Wellington region.
Alongside the WMMP, the Wellington Region Waste Assessment 2023 will also be available during consultation which shows the region’s progress on reducing waste over the last six years.
“We are encouraging anyone interested in the future of waste management and minimisation to visit the website for information and to provide feedback on the plans atwww.lesswastegreaterplace. co.nz,” Councillor Pannett says.
The WMMP represents a unified regional effort by the eight councils: Carterton District Council, Hutt City Council, K iti Coast District Council, Masterton District Council, Porirua City Council, South Wairarapa District Council, Upper Hutt City Council and Wellington City Council.
The Wellington Chamber of Commerce, Te Awe M ori Business Network and Wellington Pasifika Business Network – together as The Power of Three – have launched the 2023 Wellington Address.
The Wellington Address will honour six individuals who have dedicated themselves to making a positive impact in Wellington city.
It will be held in the Amokura Gal-
lery, Te Papa, at 6:30pm on 24 August.
Tickets can be purchased from the Wellington Chamber of Commerce website, https://www.wecc.org.nz/ events/wellington-address.
Last year’s honourees included Pauline Faumuina, Fiso John Fiso (ONZM), Stacey Shortall, Tim Brown, Liz Mellish (MNZM) and Kura Moeahu.
Stacey Shortall, one of last year’s
honourees, will deliver the 2023 address.
Stacey will have free rein to share her views on “this place we call home and the people who contribute to it”.
Stacey Shortall is an internationally recognised litigation lawyer at MinterEllisonRuddWatts who has spearheaded projects designed to create social change and has received numerous awards for both her legal
and charitable work.
She established the Who Did You Help Today Charitable Trust and is also the founder of Our Words Matter, an online forum sharing ideas to solve the issues that affect New Zealand
Stacey’s leadership has been acknowledged with a number of awards.
She has been recognised as a Blake Leader, Women of Influence Award
winner, and a Kiwibank Local Hero recipient.
In 2020, Stacey was named as one of three finalists in the inaugural Chambers Diversity and Inclusion Awards: Asia-Pacific for her pro bono work to advance social mobility and most recently, she was made a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit for services to the law and the community.

Council apologises for privacy breach
Wellington City Council has issued an apology over a recent privacy breach involving a spreadsheet that revealed the costings of a council proposal to lower traffic speed limits around the city.
The council says in a statement that it was sincerely sorry to anybody affected by the breach.
“…to the wider Wellington public: we will learn from this incident and endeavour to be a better kaitiaki (guardian) of personal information in the future,” the council says.
The leaked spreadsheet contained information about car crashes around Wellington from January 2015 to December 2019.
In the spreadsheet, some information was included in ‘free text’ fields that in some cases could identify individuals – their name, car registration, contact information, address – or be used with other information to identify individuals.
“There is also other information about crashes in the spreadsheet which could identify some individuals. Some of this information is sensitive,” the council says.
“Not all entries in the spreadsheet included personal information. Not all people in the spreadsheet can be identified.”
The data in the spreadsheet was downloaded from ‘Crash Analysis System’ (CAS) which is managed by Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency, in September 2020.
The privacy breach occurred in early
July 2022 when the City Council responded to an official information request (under theLocal Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987).
“The request was made throughFYI– a website that collates official information requests and publishes them.
“The council responded to the request with the spreadsheet accidentally not redacting or deleting the free text fields. This meant that the spreadsheet was published on FYI,” the council says.
The council has notified the Office of the Privacy Commissioner and has hired an external specialist consultancy to firstly support the response to the breach, and then secondly complete an independent review of the breach.
“After responding to the breach, the investigation into how it occurred and why will be completed.
“This will inform what steps need to be taken to change our system and processes to prevent this from happening again.”
The spreadsheet has been removed from the FYI website.
“We are working through the data to determine precisely who has been affected and how severely so that we can best address the impacts of the breach.
“Where possible, we will individually notify anyone who is identifiable through the information in the spreadsheet,” the council says.
People concerned that they have been affected can contactassurance@wcc. govt.nz.

Solution
Last Week 17 August 2023
Men’s Central League football was put on pause for a yet another week as the semi-finals of the Chatham Cup in Hamilton and Christchurch played out on 19 August.
Waterside-Karori’s dream of qualifying for their first Chatham Cup final since 1948 was thwarted by a stirring Melville United second-half comeback in a high-octane semi-final under lights in Hamilton on Saturday night.
On a magical night at Gower Park, Melville bounced back from being a goal down at half time to win 3-1, with three eye-catching goals in a pulsating atmosphere in front of a 1,000-strong crowd.
It was Waterside’s first outing in Hamilton since losing 0-3 to Melville’s parent club, Waikato United, in the national round of the Superclub Championship, in 1993.
The Wharfies made the perfect start when 38-year-old Argentinian midfielder Leo Villa smacked a low left-footer from outside the box and it crept home just inside the post to trigger joyous celebrations.
And at half time it seemed Waterside - four-times Cup winners in the early days of the national knockout competition - would be on their way to their first final in 75 years.
They enjoyed a clear edge in terms of chances created, with
another Argentinian, 24-year-old Tomas Alvarado, always dangerous, as was Jack Parker, chasing his fourth goal of the Chatham Cup campaign.
But Waterside sat back more in the second spell. Their wing backs didn’t get forward as much and it allowed Melville to seize the initiative.
Livewire striker Jerson Lagos drew Melville level in the 64th minute, finding the top corner with a precision right-footed free kick from just outside the area, after which the 20-year-old Melville academy product was immediately booked for a curious goal celebration where he ran to the sideline, put on a hoodie, and returned to the pitch.
In the 70th minute substitute Jack McGovern put Melville ahead following a storming left flank run from George Brown and cross from Ry McLeod. McGovern, in just his second appearance for Melville, swivelled and hit a left foot shot just inside the post past the dive of Waterside keeper Gabriel Cooper.
McGovern had been eight weeks out with injury but has now taken his tally to two goals from two sub appearances, since arriving unsolicited from Liverpool, where he was more renowned as a nonleague goalkeeper.
Lagos sealed the game in the 82nd minute with his second goal, after 16-year-old substitute Isaac

Bates pressed forward and squared for him to squeeze the ball home from just inside the area. Waterside had several late chances, with Melville keeper Max Tommy twice making crucial stops.
Melville skipper Aaron Scott, playing his final home match before retiring after a 20-year first team career, later praised Waterside for their skill and tenacity, but
confirmed that after 368 major appearances, he’d had enough. In the other semi final match, Christchurch United were too strong and had a 2-1 win at home against Eastern Suburbs of Auckland.
The Chatham Cup final has been set for Sunday September 10, but New Zealand Football has yet to announce the venue.
ANZ Cricket Grants are helping pay cricket club subs for young Wellington cricketers for a second year as families continue to feel the pinch.
This season a subsidy fund of $100,000 is being made available to help pay cricket club fees for young kids from families who could benefit from some extra support.
Successful applicants will receive up to $80 towards their fees. This will be provided in the form of a voucher to redeem when registering with New Zealand Cricket.
Last year, ANZ Cricket Grants helped 1,327 kids, across 175 clubs throughout the country, get to the crease.
With household budgets continuing to be under pressure, assistance with sport costs could once again make all the difference for a new generation of cricketers who may have otherwise missed out.
Financial concerns can mean the difference between kids playing sport or not, and extra support with fees can have a wide-ranging impact, ANZ Head of Sponsorship Sarah Rogan says.
“From honing co-ordination skills to meeting like-minded friends, sport is such an important part of a child’s wellbeing,” Ms Rogan says.
“We want as many Kiwi kids as
With no Auckland team in the final, and Wellington United contesting the women’s Kate Sheppard Cup final, and with this season marking the 100th year since the inaugural Chatham Cup edition, there may be a chance that the final reverts to Wellington rather than North Harbour Stadium, which has been the preferred venue in recent times.
possible to enjoy all the mental and physical benefits that come with being out on the sports field.
“We received feedback from cricket clubs that this type of support is vital for families in their communities who are doing it even tougher than last year.”
The initiative from ANZ is extremely helpful and hopes families who might have thought it not possible for their children to play this season will reconsider thanks to this initiative, New Zealand Cricket GM of Community Cricket Kent Stead says.
“We’re delighted to have the support of ANZ again this year, with the ANZ Cricket Grants” Mr Stead says.
“The subsidy fund will help hundreds of children onto the cricket field this summer, and for many, it could be the boost they need to reach their future sporting potential.”
Families who may have dismissed the idea of their kids playing this summer are invited to apply at www. anzcricketworld.co.nz between now and 22 September 2023.
A maximum of two children per family can benefit from the subsidy.
ANZ has been a sponsor of New Zealand Cricket for 23 years, injecting more than $1.76 million into cricket in the community during that time.
