Raw family focus

By Jacob Page

Growing up in Newlands as one of seven sisters, meal times could be a production line of activity for Mashal Butler.

Now each sister has their own organic, vegan cake named after them in her business with husband, Kurt Raw Glory.

“The seven of us all have this terrific bond so I thought naming an organic cake after each of their traits was a good way to incorporate family into the business,” she says.

Continued on page 2.

Varna, Dinah, Mashal, Kyria, Sussana, Salome, Onycha are seven sisters who grew up in Newlands and were the inspiration behind Raw Glory Desserts.

Each of the sisters Varna, Dinah, Kyria, Sussana, Salome, Onycha and herself all had an interest in cooking and baking growing up in Newlands but it did not mean meal times were a feeding frenzy.

“Because we were seven girls, we were probably lucky that someone always had some leftovers and if you wanted more, you could just grab some off someone else’s plate,” Mashal says.

“There were always clean plates one way or another.”

Marshal, 43, says her first success was ironically with a microwaved carrot cake.

“It always turned out so well

which is hard to believe it came out of a microwave.

“Mum used to get me to make it when we had people coming around but it was mostly an excuse for me to make cream cheese icing.

Mashal says she and her sisters likely grew up with more of an organic, healthy lifestyle than many in her generation.

“Mum was very naturallyminded,” she says.

“Fruit, veges and meat were all standard and I remember we’d have a pile of apples and I can hear Mum saying now ‘once they’re gone, they’re gone’, so that’s how it was for us.

“If we weren’t very hungry, I

remember Dad telling us that we at least had to eat our peas to make sure we got our nutrients.

“I did feel envious of kids who had yoghurt and muesli bars at school because we’d always get something healthy like a cut sandwich, never any baking.

“I give a lot of credit to my older sister Varna, she was always experimenting with different food combinations growing up and that was always fun.”

Mashal says when she first tried a raw, vegan cake she hated the taste but liked the idea of a healthy sweet treat.

“I thought the idea was good but I knew there had to be a way to make it taste better.

“If you put all of our ingredients from our cakes, it would look like a healthy sharing platter with fruit and vegetables and plenty of colour.

“You can see the healthiness of it.”

The business has grown so much over the past five years and expansion continues both in products and businesses including an organic food delivery service called Bounty Box. “When we started Raw Glory we were one of the first in the market so things just took-off, we won awards and we’ve grown a lot over five years.

“We plan to keep going with the same passion as always.

Parliament is a very, shall we say, fluid environment currently. As we come to the end of both my own first three years, and the first term of the Jacinda Ardern-led government, there has been considerable attention on leadership changes and other voluntarily and involuntary departures of certain individuals.

The shame of this is that it draws attention away from the considerable achievements of our government, not least of all Jacinda’s leadership of our team of five million in the flattening of the dangerous Covid-19 curve, and the ongoing success in keeping NZ free of community transmission. New Zealand’s efforts have meant not only world-wide recognition, but also have resulted in us almost uniquely being able to live our day to day lives unhindered by lockdown. Our full churches, sports stadiums and entertainment places are evidence of that, and the envy of the world.

and our determination to protect the jobs and wealth of New Zealanders is being enabled.

Here in Ōhāriu, we are extremely fortunate, as construction continues at pace, our school rebuilding and maintenance programmes are initiated, and government investments find their way directly and indirectly into the incomes of locals. The stable leadership and focussed recovery plans of our government can become obscured when the focus on politics is all about instability elsewhere.

I can absolutely assure constituents that the same well informed, well-led response to Covid-19 will continue as we focus on the economy and jobs.

These are all based on a 5 point plan, which focuses on investing in our people, such as with the wage subsidy and free apprenticeships, creating jobs including 20,000 in shovel-ready infrastructure projects, planning for the future with 8,000 extra public and transitional housing, supporting small businesses such as with the $100,000 interest free loans scheme and more than $3 billion in tax refunds to help cashflow, and leveraging on Jacinda’s Unit 2, 18 Moorefield Road, Johnsonville global profile to open key markets for On the McDonald’s roundabout ourOpen goods.

Monday – Friday 9am–3pm

Greg O’Connor

Yes, there has been damage to the economy, as there has been in every country in the world. But the difference in New Zealand is that while other countries go back into lockdown, including significant parts of Australia, our economy is opening more every day, economic activity is increasing,

New development fury By: Gerald Rillstone

Broadmeadows residences and neighbours to a planned four unit development on a two dwelling zoned property are furious at what they say are breaches of the district plan.

A hillside property at 56 Kanpur Road has become a source of concern for residents and neighbour Ray Chung says there are a number of inaccuracies in the development application that the council needs to take note of.

“It seems as if they just ignored what was on the district plan, it says we are zoned residential so therefore they are allowed two housing units on one section,” Ray says.

Ray says initially a three unit building was applied for in 2017 and no neighbours were notified. When he queried why they weren't notified he was told the council “tries not to notify people because when they do they write back and that's a lot of work.”

He says Wellington City Council consent planner Clint Betteridge told them the property owner could legally put two six bedroom houses up on the site and there

would be more people living there than putting four houses up.

“What sort of bloody argument is that,” he says.

The residents are concerned at the severe impact a four unit development may have on the quite upmarket suburb.

Ray says three or four years ago there was a similar situation just down the road and council planners were approached with several concerns over the number of occupants in a proposed four unit development and all their fears came to fruition.

There are also misleading claims on the consent for the property with claims there are three town houses next to the proposed development when in fact there are two stand alone houses.

It also claims there is a house unit numbered 58 on the same property.

There will be extensive earthworks on the property Ray says and there are worries about stability of neighbouring properties and the run-off from earthworks.

Ray says he suspects council planners will approve the application as the council is pushing to get more housing, no matter who it affects.

Architecture Award for Waitohi/Johnsonville Library

By Jacob Page

The Waitohi/Johnsonville Library won the ‘Public Architecture’ award at last week’s Wellington Architecture Awards.

It means the building, which was designed by Athfield Architects, will be entered into the NZIA national awards that will be held later this year.

The NZIA jury citation described the building as setting a high bar for modern public buildings “Waitohi sets a benchmark for this growing community, creating a visible and welcoming presence that ties together existing facilities.

Containing a library, kindergarten,

café, and community meeting rooms, “Waitohi has a grand civic scale.

Waitohi’s tilted roof plane gives the building its local prominence, and generous canopied edges interface with the public domain.

The building, with its historical references to the site and former forest, is conceptually strong. Interiors express the story of the place through cultural patterns, tree-like timber columns, and warm materials with forest colourways.

“The project is an outstanding outcome of a successful consultation process, and has created a real civic heart for this growing town centre.”

O’Connor makes the most of rugby stint

By Jacob Page

Ohariu MP Greg O’Connor is adament the body does not bounce back like it used too after a game of rugby.

“I’m speaking to you now two days later and the body is all stiff and sore,” he says.

“I’m about to fold myself into my car as we speak.

The Labour MP locked the scrum for the New Zealand Parliament Rugby team in their 19-10 loss to the Centurions XV at Wainuiomata’s William Jones Park on Saturday.

“When you get to my stage, survival is key,” he says.

“If you come off the field without

pulling anything or breaking anything, it’s the equivalent of being selected for the All Blacks.”

Greg says there was no way he was moving out of his locking position.

“A lot of the guys we are up against are former professional rugby players, so the skill is still there even if they have put on a little weight.

“You go in for a tackle thinking you’re going to find some flab, but you don’t, they’re all hard bastards essentially.

“The other secret is to bury yourself in the tight.

“At one stage they tried to move me to No 6 and I said no, I’m quite happy to be buried in the tight.”

The Centurions team had Dr Ashley Bloomfield as well as Lower Hutt mayor Campbell Barry, Greater Wellington regional councillor Thomas Nash and former All Blacks Stephen Bachop and Jason Eaton. Hewitt and So’oialo co-captained the squad.

Parliament’s Speaker Trevor Mallard was the team’s manager, while well-known rugby commentator Ken Laban was the waterboy.

Former All Blacks captain Andy Leslie and player Earle Kirton were coaches.

The Parliamentary team had former All Black Piri Weepu, his brother, former league player Billy Weepu, and former Blues and Hurricanes player Ofisa Tonu’u.

Plant sale to benefit WBRT Nestled in the hills of Wellington’s rural Ohariu Valley is plant nursery, Feathers & Flora.

It boasts over 30,000 plants of native, non-native and fruiting varieties, which have been nurtured by onsite horticulturist, Warren Kerruish and a team of keen volunteers.

Winter is the perfect time to plant, so the Wellington Bird Rehabilitation Trust have partnered with Feathers & Flora in hosting the Pop-up Native Plant sale on Sunday.

Hundreds of young, established native plants and grafted fruit trees will be leaving the valley at the Crofton Downs School Hall.

Horticulturists, Warren Kerruish and Richard Nanson, alongside landscaper, Charlotte Le Clair will be on-site providing expert advice.

Event co-ordinator, Toni Shanks, says the day will be fun for all ages ‘This will be a family-friendly affair.

“We wanted to create an allencompassing event that had something for everyone! It is such a great opportunity to share with the public what the trust does and have fun doing it.”

Kids will have the opportunity to win a bird-inspired prize-pack, participate in the name-a-swan voting poll, take part in a DIY birdfeeder table, and to top it off, a few of the friendly feathered residents from the Trust will be there ready to share their rescue and rehab stories with you.

The Urban Wildlife Trust will also be there providing information on how you can create a safe environment in your backyard, that ensures a sustainable future for our native birds.

All proceeds from the pop-up sale will directly benefit the Wellington Bird Rehabilitation Trust. Eftpos will be available.

Since 2018, Feathers & Flora has

been operating as an online service, delivering plants direct to the door.

Sharing the same property as the Wellington Bird Rehabilitation Trust, the nursery was founded on the vision that the sale of the plants will support the care of the growing

intake of birds that the team are treating. It also allows the trust to be both financially and environmentally self-sustainable.

Glenside Reserve Track tentatively takes shape

By Jacob Page

The proposed Glenside Reserve Track is starting to take shape.

President of the Glenside Progressive Assn Claire Bibby says the project, which is in its early planning stages, is needed.

“The Glenside Reserve has been in Council ownership since 1951 and it’s only been recently that it has been used for public recreation.

“There is a demand from the public to have access “People were very keen to get out and walk during the lockdown.

In 2008 the Northern Reserves Management Plan had a recommendation that tracks be developed but the land is currently being used to graze horses.

“What we said to Council how about we get a track in the scrub that’s already there rather than have tracks on bare land competing with the horses.

“We asked for funds to be set aside last year.”

An outline for the track has been designed by the Kennett brothers, Jonathan and Paul.

The track is set to be in a figure-eight shape and will be just over 1.2km.long when completed.

“The level of track is that you can walk on it gently and have the ability for pushchairs to be used on it so families with young children can use it,” she says.

“We don’t intend for it to be used for bikes and if dogs are using it, we want them on a leash.”

Another key will be managing predators like possums and pest plants like Old Man’s Beard.

“This land used to be open for grazing but it has regenerated over time.”

“The next stage will be to get the earth cut and then it will need packing.

“We’ve been asking for funding for walking tracks in our area since 2006 and the Northern Reserves Management Plan had track development as an objective in the Glenside Reserve and that plan is coming to the end of its life.

Claire says the proposed track will take people through some beautiful areas of the Glenside Reserves with a lot of native plants.

She says she is confident the track will be an asset for generations to come.

“The benefit of this track is that in our area, Glenside Reserve is the only flat bit of public land and that the design will be for a fairly level track that will be a good grade for family access.”

NZ Bus to upgrade 34 of its Wellington fleet Over the next six months NZ Bus will be upgrading 34 of its buses to give customers a more consistent experience across the network by bringing them in line with the Metlink brand and internal layout standards.

Metlink general manager, Scott Gallacher says discussions with NZ Bus have focused on the most optimal way to upgrade the buses without losing any capacity on routes.

“Initially, there will be one bus taken out of service to develop a proof of concept for the upgrade work programme.

“From there on five buses will be in the upgrade programme at a time through to the completion of the programme, at the end of February 2021,” Scott says.

Each bus takes approximately four weeks to complete and while these upgrades take place Metlink customers will see a number of interim single-door buses, previously used for the Airport Flyer, out and about on the network.

These interim buses will have some Metlink branding applied to them and customers will still be able to use Snapper for on-board payment and track the buses on Real Time Information boards at stops and on the Metlink website and app.

“We will continue to work closely with NZ Bus to get the upgraded buses back on the road as they are completed and to ensure the replacement buses are running as effectively and efficiently as possible,” Scott adds.

LETTERS to the editor

Thanks Churton Park Dear Editor, I write to thank the people of Churton Park for the strong support they have given the Churton Park Community Association since I became its President in 2016. My role came to an end at the Association’s AGM on 15 July, when I lost the election of President for 2020 to Avinash Shrivistava.

Over the past four years, the Committee has achieved much for the people of Churton Park through its strong advocacy for public transport, planning, traffic safety and environmental matters. Inclusion of our multicultural residents in so much of the Association’s work and in its community events has also made great strides in fostering a spirit of neighbourliness and friendship. The Children’s Christmas party, community carols, multicultural fair and Indian Utsav festival have been star events in the local calendar.

I wish the Association and its new committee every success on building on these achievements.

Public consultation open for Wellington Central Library Monday marked the start of a six-week public consultation to gather Wellingtonians’ views on restoring the Central Library service in the heart of the city.

“We know how frustrating the closure of the Central Library building is, which is why we sped up the decision-making as quickly as the Local Government Act allowed us to,” says Mayor Andy Foster.

“We are looking forward to hearing Wellingtonians views, and we also want to bring life back to Te Ngākau Civic Precinct.

“The building itself is deemed unsafe for people to be in, and there are several ways to remedy this, which also creates new possibilities in how we create the space to meet the changing needs of our growing modern city.”

The Central Library has been treasured by generations of Wellingtonians as a

special place in the heart of our city, says Libraries portfolio holder Councillor Fleur Fitzsimons.

“I encourage all Wellingtonians, young and old, to have a say about the future of the Library. We need to hear your questions, your views and your aspirations for our Central Library so we can make a good decision that will be well supported by residents.”

Councillor Iona Pannett, portfolio leader for Resilient Buildings, says the Statement of Proposal outlines five options for retaining a Central Library service in Te Ngākau Civic Precinct.

“Three remediate the existing building to a low, mid, or high level and two more suggest building a new library on either the existing site or another site within Te Ngākau Civic Precinct. It also discusses other options which have been discarded,

as they were not practicable.

“We are keen to understand what options you prefer, and the factors behind your decision, or whether you prefer another option.”

Sign up at https://www.letstalk.wellington.govt.nz/central-library to stay-upto-date with the latest news, find out when events are happening near you and read the Statement of Proposal on the Future of Central Library Consultation. Paper copies of both documents will be available at all library branches from Monday 27 July.

Everyone is invited to complete a submission form between Monday 27 July and 5pm on Monday 7 September 2020.

The public are also welcome to make their submission in person to the Strategy and Policy Committee on Wednesday 22 September. To do this, select this option in your submission form.

Concert at St Andrew’s on the Terrace

By Jacob Page

The Wellington City Concert Band and the Capital City Wind Band have organised a family concert at St Andrew’s on the Terrace.

The concert will be from 7.30pm to 8.30pm next Friday with free entry.

Several Karori residents will be playing in the concert - Rhys Edlin, Grant Crowley and Will Abbiss.

“This is concert that everyone will enjoy, the bands have around forty players each and make a great sound ”, says the Wellington City Concert Band conductor, Mike

Brett’s Brief National Party List MP based in Ōhāriu

Ashton The exciting programme has something for all ages; Bare Necessities from the Jungle Book, Adelieland from Happy Feet, Silverado and Alfred Reed’s march, First Suite for Band, A Glenn Miller medley – just to name a few.

Recent events have further highlighted the value the Petone to Grenada Link Road could bring to the resilience of our transport network.

Another slip on State Highway 2 on 23 July caused major congestion out of Wellington.

Had that occurred during morning rush hour it would likely have caused massive delays on the motorway through Johnsonville, up to Tawa and possibly beyond, as we have experienced on more than one occasion over the past year or so.

An accident on the Ngauranga Gorge during peak hours on 13 July also caused congestion for South-bound traffic, despite the incident occurring on the North-bound side.

An alternative route would have alleviated traffic issues from all of these events.

Taking 25,000 or more vehicle movements per day off the Wellington Motorway, and cutting ten minutes from a journey each way, the link road would help to improve productivity as well as reducing congestion on the motorway from Tawa through to Ngauranga.

That would help the majority of residents in all suburbs from Tawa through to, and around Johnsonville.

It would also unlock housing development in the Lincolnshire Farm area which has previously been reported as having the potential to accommodate 10,000 homes, providing much needed capacity for a growing city.

An opportunity arose in Parliament early in July to fast-track consenting for the Petone to Grenada Link Road.

All members of the governing parties voted against it.

The Petone to Grenada Link Road has long been proposed to improve Wellington’s transport network resilience.

Women’s chamber choir set to perform

By Jacob Page

Voix de Femmes, the women’s chamber choir of The Alliance Française, is to sing its first concert of the year in the Khandallah Town Hall, bringing a delightful selection of choral arrangements to Wellington’s concert-goers.

As the title suggests, this gorgeous programme devised by the choir’s director Marie Brown, explores the reason for every season – the hopes of spring, the grey eastern

dawn, the colour of autumn leaves, fields of gold, and blue skies.

Singing music of Debussy, Saint-Saëns, Edith Piaf, Jacques Brel and Irving Berlin, to name a few, the choir is joined by guest soloist Lala Simpson. Born in Madagascar and fluent in three languages, Lala attributes her love of French chanson to listening to RFI (Radio France Internationale) at night with her parents. Her renditions of songs of Piaf and Brel have received wide and emotional acclaim.

Lala Simpson will be the guest soloist at the Voix de Femmes concert in Khandallah in August.

KCA continue to grow as demand increases

By Jacob Page

Kiwi Community Assistance (KCA) continues to be on the front line offering support for people who need it most. From humble beginnings in a double garage in Tawa to the 500m2 warehouse they are moving into in Grenada North, KCA now has 92 volunteers helping collect, coordinate and distribute key items like food, clothing, furniture and whiteware to those who need it.

They distribute to 72 agencies around the Greater Wellington region and distribute more than 200 tonnes of food annually and more than 3000 boxes of clothing and blankets each year.

They rely on the generosity of businesses and the community to donate items such as perishable food and clothing. KCA helps more than 65,000 people in need in Wellington each year.

Chief Executive and co-founder Tracy Wellington says the organisation is eager to expand their volunteer base as they head to their

new premises. “We are looking for more volunteers to sort incoming donations in the warehouse,” she says. “We’re also looking for food rescue volunteers to assist us on Monday to Friday from 8:15am to around midday.

“Volunteers need to be reasonably fit and be able to lift 15kg to 20kg between two people for health and safety.” Food rescue trucks drivers must be over 25-years-old and have a full car licence with no demerit points or speeding tickets.

Tracy says April proved to be a busy time thanks to the Coronavirus lockdown.

“We were only open 19 days because we weren’t operating on the weekend, we did over 44 tonnes of food when we would normally do between 15 and 18 tonnes and we are currently tracking at over 33 tonnes of food a month being redistributed back into the local community to local foodbanks.”

Tracy says most agencies were not able to do home visits so the nonfood side of the organisation has only been back operational again

Kiwi Community Assistance chief executive Tracy Wellington and Foodstuffs North Island chief executive Chris Quin meet at the KCA warehouse in North Grenada.

since mid June.

KCA is seeking more financial donations as they previously obtained significant funding from gaming trusts. The lack of charity gaming grants revenue

due to Covid-19 means that a lot of our usual funding streams have vanished.

KCA has a Give a Little page and donations can be made on their website.

They would welcome more corporate companies sending teams out to volunteer.

to have been built on land that required expensive retaining walls.

Head teacher at the Kindergarten Isabel Boyd says they have the documentation to prove it and it also shows the government paid $22,000 and another $11,000 was raised by the community.

“One of the interesting things I have discovered going back over things is the kindergarten was built with love from the community, it was a community driven venture and it is still very much that way fifty years on, part of the community,” she says.

Isabel has been a teacher at the kindegarten for the past 15 years and says the layout of the buildings are much the same as when it was built with a few minor changes.

“I have seen lots of families go through over the years and lots of families coming back with their children and that's really cool. Really strong connections with community and kindergarten,” she says.

Isabel says she has some old photos but is looking for ones from the 70's and the 80's.

The 50th will be celebrated with an afternoon tea on the 30th of August.

Lisette’s written journey a passion project

By Jacob Page

North Wellington actor turned author Lisette Prende says her debut novel is just the beginning.

Bianca De Lumiere will be published on August 8 and has been four-year labour of love for Lisette.

The novel follows 16-year-old Bianca and her identity struggles at a fictional high school in Oregon.

“She doesn’t fit in and is a bit of an outcast.”

Things escalate when she starts to sleepwalk late at night.

“It’s based on my high school experi-

ence sans a little magic.

“I went to Onslow College in the 90s so it’s loosely based on my experience and trying to fit in.”

“The inspiration came from a dream I had of a girl running through the forest.”

Lisette says having her finished novel in her hands was a surreal feeling.

She says the writing bug was always something she had considered.

“I remember telling someone that I thought I had plenty of books in me,” she says.

“It was never a set goal but once I committed to writing it, that was it.

“It was like I made a friendship with the girl in that dream and I had to tell her story.”

Lisette says despite some rough times in the writing process, her faith in the quality of the story pulled her through.

“Every time I hit a brick wall, I just took a moment and kept trying.”

Lisette says she hopes people think the book is an enjoyable read.

“That’s why I like fantasy,” she says.

“It’s a little bit of magic in an urban setting.

“This is the first in at least a trilogy of books.”

Lisette Prende knows there are more books in her as she is set to launch her first novel on August 8.

Elderly members needed

Exercise for the elderly, Margaret Thompson. Photo: Gerald Rillstone

Exercise later in life is not so much about keeping fit but keeping active and Karori's exercise for the elderly aims to do just that but to keep going they need more members.

Margaret Thompson has been organising classes after starting with them 20 years ago and is one of four on a roster to do so even though she now lives in the Hutt.

Thought of a career in real estate?

Hey everyone, hope you all had a great week, we took the family out to catch on a few of the festivals happening and made the most of the great weather! This week, I got approached at the supermarket and got asked what it’s really like starting out in real estate. The industry is guilty of glamourising the job, with the perception of high pay, flexible hours, luxury lifestyle, etc – in order to attract a constant supply of new recruits.

Typically, real estate companies are always hiring, and operate on a bumson-seats model where you inherit all the risk in a self-employed, commission-based, competitive industry. This model, although a safe & profitable strategy for the company, is responsible for the high turnover of ‘new recruits’ in this industry.

As a result of this the old ways of doing Real Estate have a bad reputation, and there is a common theme around the lack of service and the quality of customer experience. This is not surprising when agents qualify in a short time and are thrown into the marketplace with very basic training and who are typically supported by people who have gone through the same system.

At Team YIP – Collective First National, anyone who wants to start in this industry must be focused on delivering an exceptional client experience and provide the best possible result for our clients. In order to achieve this the person will need to have the best possible process behind them. They will need support staff helping them with all the administration, comprehensive marketing channels, and a team to support their clients with preparing their property for market.

Before salespeople can work for themselves, they must complete a fully supported & fully paid, 1-year appren-

ticeship. New recruits can focus on doing what is right and focus on learning, helping, and upskilling rather than worrying about commission and how they are going to pay their bills. Once graduated from our programme, we can be confident they have the right foundation to live up to the Collective way of doing things.

If you have been wondering about a career in real estate, our next intake is coming up! So that candidates get 1-on-1 support with the course material, mentoring on the job and focused training, we can only bring in a few people for each intake – so spaces are limited.

Even if you don’t intend on working in this area or at our company - our 1-year programme is open to everyone. At the end of the 1-year programme, you have complete choice! Here we have no ego, no brand conflicts, we are simply doing this for the betterment of everyone.

If you are keen to know more about how we can kick start your Real Estate Career in the best way possible, get in touch! Love to hear from you!

Written by William YIP Your friend in Real Estate 021 106 9997 William.YIP@CollectiveFN.co.nz

and university and I like to come back but we shifted to the Hutt because I was getting very arthritic and we had a section with four different levels and it was getting too much,” she says.

Margaret say she enjoys coming back to meet with people and still has strong connections to the group.

After the lock-down numbers fell to around nine she says because some members were still not keen

to venture out.

There are some other classes happening at the same time that clash with timing of the exercise class she says but the instructor needs to be paid and the hall hire as well so the more members the better.

The classes run every Friday from 10am to 11am at the Karori Recreation Centre.

Entry is $5 but with more members it is hoped the cost can be dropped to $2.

Coronavirus challenges highlighted by survey The COVID-19 lockdown forced most people indoors, but those on the frontline saw a number of challenges supporting the more vulnerable communities according to a recent survey.

Community Networks Wellington (CNW) recently commissioned the survey to look at the challenges and issues the social services and at risk experienced during the lockdown alert levels, and what can be done to support them now and in the future.

Of the 33 member organisations, the survey showed that 33,806 New Zealanders were assisted during lockdown, and while there was positive news there was also cause for concern.

Where philanthropic grants dropped dramatically during lockdown, this was picked up by local and central Government funding, plus the well known generosity of Wellingtonians.

Other key areas of concern included financial and employment insecurity, staffing resources in high areas of demand, technological obstacles, with mental health, isolation and well-being also mentioned.

The survey identified key issues that must be addressed as Wellington moves out of lockdown, and the specific areas of support the sector needs now and in the future, says CNW co-chair, Julia Hennessy.

“We conducted the survey to better understand the challenges our members have faced over COVID-19, and to

understand how we can best support them as we move into our new normal.

“According to the CNW members, there was a significant increase in collaboration as well as an overall improvement in communication between social organisations in Wellington.

We saw a strengthening of established relationships within the community as well as the formation of new interorganisational relationships.

“Gaps in our communities included the importance of digital inclusion – given a high proportion of service users don’t have easy access to technology. This gave community services a challenge, but also an opportunity to provide services in a different way.”

In response to the COVID-19 crisis, Wellington City Council allocated $1.553 million to support social and community agencies with the recovery – with funding going to 73 projects around the city.

Mayor Andy Foster says while many of the challenges we encountered during lockdown and the alert levels has decreased, the issues with at risk communities still remain – and those numbers may grow as we head into uncertain times.

“We have been working closely with community groups to ensure they have the resources, skills and capability to learn from the challenges they faced and adapt their services where necessary to fit the new environment.”

Penalty try costs Johnsonville victory

By Jacob Page

The Johnsonville Hawks premier rugby team were so close to their first win of the year, only to be denied by an injury-time penalty try.

Johnsonville lost 23-20 to Paremata-Plimmerton at Ngatitoa Domain.

Johnsonville has the lead for much of the game but player/coach Roy Kinikinilau says errors at crucial times eventually thwarted their effort.

“We had it but we just made some dumb plays late and that’s how it goes,” he says.

It was an eventful game for Roy, who found himself playing 40 minutes on the side of the scrum thanks to some late reshuffling of the team.

Andrew Ellis, who moved in to centre instead of his usual fullback, scored 10 points

including a try, penalty and conversion.

His midfield partner Paula Kinikinilau also got across the line along with lock Kane Le’aupepe.

“It was a good performance for the most part, we just have to have that self-belief,” Roy says.

The team will face the Wellington Axemen on Saturday at Helston Park during the club’s Old Timer’s Day. The Johnsonville Cripples premier reserves team had an entertaining yet ill-disciplined 40-18 win over Paremata-Plimmerton.

While the score line was emphatic, the team did pick up four yellow cards throughout the game which must be a concern.

The Johnsonville president’s grade team lost 10-5 to a speedy Norths White team.

Jeremy Busby earns life membership Cricket Wellington Umpires and Scorers chairman Jeremy Busby has been elected as a life member of the organisation at the past weekend’s Annual General Meeting.

The accolade is yet another milestone in a champion umpiring career for Jeremy, who last year brought up forty years of community umpiring when he stood in Johnsonville’s win over Taita in the Ewen Chatfield Trophy.

Jeremy started his career in November 1979 aged just 18, a few days before the Erebus plane disaster and has gone on to stand in over 800 community matches.

His introduction to umpiring occurred entirely by accident.

A promising left-arm spinner with the St Albans club, Jeremy badly broke the thumb on his bowling hand in a football training accident in 1979 and facing a summer of

inactivity he decided to try umpiring.

He made rapid progress mentored by Fred Goodall, New Zealand’s top umpire at the time.

He has been appointed to several firstclass games, numerous provincial one-day games, and age-group and women’s one-day internationals and, on top of his umpiring achievements, Jeremy has also contributed 35 years to umpire training.

He became involved as early as 1983, and he was the regional training officer in Canterbury before being made a life member of the Canterbury umpires’ association in 2006.

Jeremy’s training expertise was swiftly utilised when he moved to Wellington in 2008 and was appointed the Regional Training Officer.

Willis eager on shovel ready projects Nicola Willis, National’s List MP based in Wellington is calling on Labour to fully release the list of shovel ready projects and get Kiwis back to work.

“Despite submitting a substantial list of potential projects in April, the people of Wellington are still waiting to hear whether any have got the green light,” Ms Willis says.

More than three weeks ago, the Government hinted it had $185 million for the Wellington region but wouldn’t confirm which projects would be approved.

None are underway.

Meanwhile more than 200,000 construction workers have received the Wage Subsidy and more than 200,000 New Zealanders are in receipt of unemployment benefits.

“Wellington can’t afford to wait any longer,” Ms Willis says.

“With 13,676 of Wellington’s working age population now on the JobSeeker benefit we don’t have the luxury of waiting for the Minister’s cynical reveal.

“This secretive approach adds insult

Since then Jeremy has continued his incredible contributions to umpiring and umpires training and has been chairman of Cricket Wellington Umpires and Scorers since 2014.

He originally only took on the role as a caretaker for one year, but has continued through to today, further highlighting his dedication and passion for umpiring.

At the conclusion of the 2017-18 season, Jeremy’s commitment to umpiring was acknowledged as he was awarded the Mike Curtis Cup for services to community cricket at the Cricket Wellington Club Awards.

Jeremy’s contributions to umpiring in Wellington are showing no sign of slowing as he was also reappointed as Chairman of the organisation alongside his election as a life member.

Jeremy Busby's dedication to cricket in Wellington has been recognised.

Wellbeing through yoga Looking back...

A piece of NZ Broadcasting history One of Wellington’s most popular and best-known radio voices was that of Justin du Fresne. Born in Hawera in 1941 he joined the NZ Broadcasting Service as a clerical cadet in 1960.

He transitioned to announcing the following year and later occasionally appeared on the local WNTV-1 channel as a continuity announcer because the NZBS roster then required presenters to cover both radio and television shifts.

But from his mid-20s radio became his preferred vocation. By 1963 he was trail-blazing Kiwi radio from one of the then brand new Broadcasting House studios in Bowen Street as host of the weekday ‘Sunset Show’

on the state broadcaster’s station 2ZB. It was one of the first outlets for pop music on New Zealand radio. From the late 60s he took a break from radio and joined the clothing trade but after meeting his old colleagues to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the ground-breaking ‘Sunset Show’, he was back on the 2ZB announcer’s roster in 1983 where he remained until retiring in 2013. His 30-year second career in radio saw him transition from music-based to talk radio, with his last years on air spent as a weekend host on Newstalk ZB. Justin du Fresne passed away at his Kapiti Coast home in August 2016.

Sinus infection (Sinusitis) Have you ever had that really heavy feeling in your head, with pain, swelling and tenderness around your eyes and cheeks or forehead, a feeling of pressure building around your face? This could be a sinus infection or sinusitis.

Sinusitis is a common condition and can occur after you’ve had a cold or flu, or with hay fever and with allergies. Symptoms include nasal congestion with the build-up of mucous, and thick nasal discharge, which may be yellowish or greenish in colour. There may also be post nasal drip with mucous dripping down the inside of the throat.

Sometimes there can be a high temperature of 38C or above, and sinus headache.

The sinuses are made up of several spaces or cavities in the skull, and when these become inflamed or infected then mucous is unable to drain away and sinusitis can be the result. The build-up of pressure in this area can then lead to headaches or pain, which can be quite severe.

When sinusitis occurs in young children signs include irritability, difficulty feeding and breathing through the mouth and not the nose.

Symptoms of sinus infection generally clear within a week to ten days and this is without the need of any antibiotic treatment. There are several reasons why this is the case.

Firstly sinusitis is often caused by viruses which are not treated with antibiotics. Also it has been seen that when bacteria are the cause of the infection, antibiotics have not been found to be beneficial and that the symptoms have gone and the condition has resolved even without the use of antibiotics.

Avoiding antibiotics is the preferred situation to minimise the overuse of antibiotics and help prevent antibiotic resistance from occurring.

However there are certain circumstances where

your GP could prescribe antibiotics, e.g. extreme or severe pain, fever over 38.6 degrees Celsius, or signs of cellulitis, i.e. a skin infection such as a fast spreading hot red rash. Also you may need to visit your GP for antibiotics if the condition initially improves but then worsens and is prolonged.

In some cases sinusitis can recur and last longer than 3 months. This is known as chronic sinusitis and may need a referral from your GP to an ear, nose and throat (ENT) specialist There are things that you can do at home that will help sinusitis such as getting plenty of rest and drinking plenty of fluid. Extra fluid helps to thin the mucous so that it can drain away more easily. Gently blowing the nose, one nostril at a time is also effective.

Holding a warm flannel or compress over the inflamed area can help to ease the pain and this can be done for a few minutes several times a day. Inhaling steam from a bowl of hot water may give some relief but care must be taken to avoid scalding and this is especially important with young children and is therefore not encouraged.

Applying a salt water solution to the nostrils can also help to ease the congestion. Homemade salt solutions can be used or they can be purchased from the pharmacy.

A humidifier can also be helpful, as is stopping smoking and avoiding known allergy triggers.

Good hand hygiene can help to keep the spread of infection and prevent reinfection from occurring.

There are medicines available to use for sinusitis which includes pain relief such as paracetamol or anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen.

Your Self Care pharmacist can also give you advice on decongestants that can be used to help by drying up the mucous and unblocking the nose. These are available as nasal sprays or drops

and it is very important to use these for a few days only, after 3 to 5 days their usage should be stopped. If they are used continuously for long periods of time they can cause a condition known as rebound congestion, which is more congestion, adding to the problem.

Decongestants are also available as tablets, some are only available with a GP’s prescription while others can be purchased from the pharmacy. Care needs to be taken to see if pain relief and anti-inflammatory drugs have been included in the same product when buying these over the counter. Discuss this with your Self Care pharmacist to find out.

Other medication available from your pharmacist are antihistamines, which can be used to help dry up the nasal secretions especially if allergies are the cause of the symptoms.

Your Self Care Pharmacist can provide you with Self Care fact cards for more information on coughs, colds and flu and how to protect yourself this winter.

SPORTS TALK With Jacob Page

Back on the bandwagon The Wellington Phoenix are now must-watch television.

After years of ho-hum results, I have no shame in admitting I had continued to follow their results but rarely tuned into a game.

So jaded by their mediocrity, I planned for the worst but hoped for the best.

Even this season, when results were tremendous, I waited for the bubble to burst.

It was how I was programmed to think.

I’m a casual football fan.

I’ll watch the English Premier League, Champions League and the World Cup but if I’m honest, New Zealand football has, at times, been a little dreary in execution.

Too often, I’ve seen Kiwi teams defend against conceding goals rather than try to score them.

In that sense, the Phoenix of 2020

are a breath of fresh air.

They attack with purpose and intent, they have pace on the wings.

Coach Ufuk Talay seems to have his attacking third of the pitch sorted.

Liberato Cacahe and Ulises Davilla have formed a formidable combination while David Bell and Gary Hooper have provided excellent support.

Luke Devere offers a calming

influence at the back.

If they can find their feet in Australia and play a good brand of football without complaining about being home sick, then they could go close to winning the A-League title.

They currently sit second and have proved difficult to disrupt since February.

I’m back on the bandwagon and happy to go along for the ride.

There is something special brew-

ing if the team can get a little luck.

A promising team which started under Mark Rudan appears to have only got better with added time and some wise signings.

No longer are the Phoenix the cellar-dwellers of Australasian football.

They are now one of the big boys and they deserve a heap of support for what they are trying to achieve away from their home, The Cake Tin.

Frustrating weekend for North Wellington

By Grant Stephen

It was a the perfect weekend for sport but unfortunately the results didn’t follow suit for any of North Wellington FC’s top men’s and women’s sides.

In the Women’s and Men’s Central League regional competitions, Waterside Karori cleaned house and enjoyed their time in the sun for maximum effect.

Things went so right for the Wharfies’ W League women’s team with their noon kick off at home on Saturday.

The match was tight and competitive throughout but two lapses by Norths in the 10 minutes before the half time break meant that Norths were going into the sheds with a 2-0 deficit that could not be undone by full time. Full credit to Karori.

They played with composure, maintained their patterns and were a constant threat.

Norths stepped up their performance from last week and were more settled with Nic Ingham returning from injury and partnering with Cushla Lichtwark at the back to steady the ship.

Unforced errors which lead to needlessly giving up possession will no doubt be the work ons for Norths at training.

At Alex Moore Park that same afternoon the Waterside Karori Men’s Central League team made the quick trip across the ridge in search of their first win of the season.

That mission was well and truly accomplished when they romped home in style and dished out a 4-2 nil win against their hosts.

It might not have been Karori’s Jarrod Stant’s birthday but he got all the presents through a fine hattrick which was topped off by a North’s own goal after a wayward clearance that belted off another Norths player and straight into the back of their own net.

Norths had their moments but just couldn’t string enough passages of play together to be effective. Jesse Randall provided some respectability with a brace of his own but Norths ultimately did not help their cause playing a fair chunk of the second half with 10 men after a double yellow card scenario two weeks in a row.

To be fair to Karori, there could have been more goals with two shots in particular smashing into the cross bar and spectacularly bouncing out rather than in.

When all is said and done, it was a memorable day for Karori but not one that Norths will want to dwell on.

In the Men’s Premier League on Sunday it was game on between the Newlands Arms North Wellington side and Wainuiomata.

The Wainui faithful swarmed over the hill in force to back their team who are title contenders.

It was a close encounter and the game ebbed and flowed for almost all of the 90 minutes.

Sean Clarke got Norths only goal

30 minutes into the match.

This was countered with an interesting penalty that looked too good to be true and could best be described as a slow motion agricultural dive.

The ref knows best though and 1-1 was the score on the board. Five minutes from full time Wainuiomata got their second goal to take out the match 2-1.

The Innkeeper North Wellington Women’s Premier team went on their own excursion across town to play Brooklyn Northern United.

Unfortunately it was slim pickings for the North Wellington ladies, going down 3-1.

In other games in the Men’s Central League, Wests did enough to beat Lower Hutt 1-0, Miramar Rangers

were untroubled in their 4-0 win over Stop Out and the same can be said for Wellington Olympic who posted a 4-0 win over Petone. Surprisingly, Napier City Rovers could manage no better than a 1 all draw at home against Wairarapa United. After 7 of 18 rounds just 2 points separate the bottom 6 teams in the 10 team competition.

Woodcock to steer Wellington U19s Cricket Wellington has today named the Whiting Financial Services Wellington Under 19 Men’s winter training squad in preparation for the 2020/21 season.

The team coached by Johnsonville and former Wellington Firebird Luke Woodcock and Neeraj Chawla is made up of ten players involved in the Under 19 squad from last season, as well as ten new faces who join the

wider squad for the first time.

Co-coach Luke Woodcock said he was looking forward to working alongside the squad over the coming months. ‘’This is a really exciting group with strong depth across the whole squad,” he said. ‘’We’re in a really fortunate place to be able to begin our programme on time and as planned, given the

recent challenges of COVID-19, so we’re excited to be getting started and beginning what will hopefully be a successful programme.’’

The squad will begin the winter training programme with ten weeks of indoor training before moving to outdoor training in late September.
