‘We don’t muck around’ says Scout leader Continued from page 1.

The Cubs, girls and boys, were overnighting to achieve their Maori cultural awareness (Maoritanga) badge.

It was around midnight when the leader woke, realising there was smoke and flames in the building.

Then it was all action, including some hammering on toilet doors to ensure no one was in inside.

Children and leaders were woken and taken out instantaneously. Efforts with a fire hose quickly proved fruitless.

Cars had to be left, as fire engines already on site were blocking the drive.

“When they looked back at the end of the street, the building was already fully engulfed,” Hadyn says.

There aren’t any photos.

“That was the last thing on

their mind,” says Hadyn, adding that while a few got mobile phones out, most did not.

“Basically, all their personal stuff was lost including their uniforms, badges and scarves.”

It was assistant troop leader Andrew Evans who spotted a light as they led the children away from danger.

He banged on the door of a lady, known only to them as Victoria, to get help.

With the 35-strong Scout group, then the arrival of some fire department and ambulance staff then parents, the welcoming home soon became “like Grand Central station,” says Hadyn.

He stayed at home, organising parent pick-ups. Leaders were able to return on Sunday to pick up their cars.

Scouting New Zealand will replace the lost uniforms.

They will also provide counselling for those affected by what was, though well-managed, still a traumatic event.

What will happen about lost personal possessions is still unclear however.

But Hadyn is thrilled that one Scout ing volunteer Leanne Hay immediately realised, without being asked, that the 27 scarves, which are specific to each troop, would need replaced.

On Sunday morning she was down to Spotlight, and bought replacement material.

“Scarf making has gone into overdrive,” says Hadyn.

Firefighters have arranged to visit the troop’s regular meetings this week to support the group.

A total of around 70 fi re

fighters and 19 fire appliances were needed to bring the spectacular three-storey marae blaze under control.

Fire investigators have been on the site of the building which had a footprint of 30 by 50 metres. It was completely destroyed and other marae buildings damaged.

The main meeting house was, however, saved. Fire investigators have been on site.

Neighbours to the north were evacuated and some who weren’t allowed to return the next morning were accommodated at a welfare centre set up by Wellington City Council in Island Bay. And the Ngaio Cubs are all delighted that they will be awarded their Maoritanga badge, despite their stay being cut short so suddenly.

A grateful mum For Ngaio Cub mum Leanne Hay, the call came about 1.30am.

The news was that her daughter Sarah needed picked up from a private home after being led from the disastrous Tapu Te Ranga marae fire in Island Bay. “All of us parents are very grateful to the leaders whose quick thinking and actions got our children out safely,” she says.

“And that lovely lady who took them in was just amazing.” The 27 children had escaped in their PJ’s, many with bare feet, and since then their guardian angel has

been receiving gifts of flowers and chocolates from grateful parents.

On Sunday when things had calmed down Leanne, who looks after the Scouts’ scarves, was down to Spotlight where she bought enough material and tape for 27 new ones.

“They are fiddly to make,” she says and they need the Scouting NZ badges as well.

So even with help offered from two other volunteers, it’s likely to be a couple of weeks before the Cubs get their scarves given to them.

But get them they will.

Formal Karori business group These Karori businesspeople were just some of those at last Thursday’s meeting which voted to inaugurate the Karori Business Association (KBA).

The following members were elected to the committee: Julie Johnston, Richele McKenzie, Simon Mitchell, Chirag Patel and Penny Murdoch.

Four other executive members will be co-opted to ensure the right representation and spread of skills, with the committee to elect officebearers at their next meeting. PHOTO supplied.

Police station reopens on shorter hours There is good news for locals from the New Zealand Police.

The front counters at both the Johnsonville (and Kilbirnie) stations have now

reopened.

The opening hours are, however, now 11am-1pm Monday to Friday, a reduction from last year’s hours of 11am to 3pm.

The public is still able to make reports to Wellington Police station, or over the phone, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, by us-

ing 111 for emergencies, 105 for non-emergencies, or the online reporting tool, also for non-emergencies at 105.police.govt.nz

Supermarket supports gift of sight to the Pacific On Monday, volunteers from the Karori Lions Club travelled to New World Thorndon to present a special award.

Owner Brian Drake was given the Lloyd Morgan Benefactor Recognition Award, recognising the supermarket’s decade of support for the club’s recycling of used glasses and sunglasses.

The collected glasses are sent to the Pacific Islands, as part of the International Lions Sight First Project.

Brian ensures a collection box for unwanted glasses, both prescription and sunglasses, is always kept in a prominent place. Staff always watch the boxes too, ensuring that they are kept safe, not shifted by accident for example..

Thorndon New World is a rarity in Wellington, a business not selling spectacles, yet having collected over 2300 pairs of spectacles in the last six years, for example.

Karori Lions volunteers make regular collecting trips to Thor ndon, pick ing up then, checking the glasses for cracks, scratches and other faults. The non-prescription sunglasses are also checked, being useful for those who have had cataract or other eye surgery.

Convenor Jennie Vowles, who started the Karori Lions on the scheme a decade ago, says the glasses that pass

Viewing at water station At Truscott Avenue Park, Johnsonville on Sunday June 23, between 12pm-1pm, a Wellington Water representative will be opening the community water station for people to view inside.

Questions about it will also be answered.

Northern Ward councillors will be offering hot sausages at the same time for a gold coin donation, with proceeds going to the Johnsonville Food Bank.

Dementia seminar Dementia Wellington is running a free seminar about dementia at the Newlands Community Centre on Thursday June 13, between 10-11.30am.

The seminar will cover what is and isn’t dementia, what to do if you are concerned about changes in memory or thinking and ideas for living well with dementia.

It will also describe the support and resources available from Dementia Wellington and other organisations.

There will be opportunity to ask questions and connect with other people in similar situations.

“During May we sent 2000 spectacles and 400 sunglasses to Fiji and 260 glasses plus 50 sunglasses to Vanuatu.”

Jennie has twice been to Labasa, Fiji with the VOSO (Volunteer Ophtholmic Ser-

vices Overseas) group and will go again in July.

“I’ve seen what a wonderful difference a pair of glasses can make.

“For example, many Fijian women want them to read their bibles. They are incredibly appreciative and excited.”

With almost 400 formal written submissions and over 200 social media posts the public inquiry into the Earthquake Commission has revealed clear themes.

They include demands for more empathy, transparency, relevant expertise, quality assurance around assessments and repairs, and greater timeliness.

National public forums have also begun, where people can speak face to face to the inquiry Chair, Dame Silvia Cartwright who is urging anyone with experiences with EQC and views on change, who hasn’t shared them yet, to do so.

On Thursday June 20, Wellington’s forum will be held at Taranaki Wharf, enabling people to drop in to share their EQC experience and views on change, or to take part in a group discussion with Dame Silvia.

inbrief news Police awards Several Police staff will be recognised for their achievements at the Wellington District Awards Ceremony being held at the Lower Hutt Town Hall from 2pm today, Thursday 13 June.

Over 50 Long Service and Good Conduct medals, from 14 up to 42 years’ service, will be made, as well as District Commander’s Commendations to staff from the Greater Wellington area.

Some commendations relate to outstanding work by Wellington staff during Operation Nebraska, an investigation into organised crime that spanned nearly five years across five policing districts.

The crime group were involved in the production and supply of significant quantities of Methamphetamine and BZP, and were accumulating significant assets.

Service to Bluegrass music recognised in honours Andrew Bicknell of Paparangi has been awarded The Queen’s Service Medal (QSM) for services to music.

He has run the Wellington Bluegrass Society since establishing it in 1990.

Andrew, “born and bred” in Johnsonville, says he always had a passion for bluegrass music.

“It was part of popular music

back in the days of my childhood.

“New Zealand’s most prolific and respected bluegrass band, the Hamilton County Bluegrass Band, would come on to the television.

“In the days of black and white broadcast and only one channel, they would showcase once a week during prime time performing this wonderful

music.

“I was hooked!” he says, adding that he wasn’t to revisit the music until after finishing his degree at Victoria University of Wellington.

“At that time I was itching to learn banjo and found a few tutors, but there were no venues for the music to be showcased, shared and enjoyed.

“So in 1990, I set one up to Andrew Bicknell QSM, of Paparangi, founder and president of the Wellington Bluegrass Society , has been honoured for his services to Bluegrass music.

Blood Donors sought This World Blood Donor Day, New Zealand Blood Service (NZBS) wants to say thank you on behalf of the 29,000 people who last year received lifesaving blood and blood products A spokesperson says that for some recipients it makes the difference between life and death, for others it enables them to live a ‘normal’ life in the face of a lifethreatening illness.

But New Zealand needs more heroes to help share the load.

“New Zealand, like many other countries, has seen the demand for plasma grow every year as it is used to treat an increasing number of life-threatening conditions.

“Many people, particularly those with immune deficiencies, rely on weekly transfusions of plasma to lead a ‘normal’ life.

Councils tackle bus issues Greater Wellington Regional Council (GWRC) and Wellington City Council (WCC) are working together to make public transport faster.

A joint paper from the councils documents existing policies and practices and signals the development of a joint action plan to increase reliability and reduce journey times on key routes.

GWRC chair Chris Laidlaw says while there has been genuine goodwill from both councils, there has not been this level of shared commitment on the issue before.

“Let’s Get Wellington Moving will eventually deliver a mass transit spine, but we’ve also recognised the need to deliver better bus priority now.”

He says their shared ratepayers want a reliable and efficient bus system and both councils need to work together on that.

foster the music.”

The society continues to this day, expanding to showcase many nationally and internationally respected performers in bluegrass and other genres, “including old time, country, folk, to name a few,” he says, adding that they are one of only two groups that specifically cater for bluegrass music in New Zealand. “And we are by far the biggest.”

“It has become a ‘go-to’ venue for many international performers as well as for thousands of local, and national performers over the years.

“With a circulation list of over 1200 subscribers, we run concert, society nights, workshops, jam sessions and music camps, and we have toured overseas artists through New Zealand.

“We also provide tuition, loan instruments for beginners and give advice on anything to do with the music.” (Andrew’s QSM citation particularly mentions his encouragement to others to take up instruments, develop their voices, form bands and have the chance to perform.)

“Over the years the WBS has regularly featured the Hamilton County Bluegrass Band, who always appreciate performing with us. That is mutual, given that they were the group that first got me hooked on the music.”

bends, neither vehicle able to see the other.

One of Kathy’s first moves was to go to the householder, a member of an extended family enclave extending down the street.

“He just pointed out that it’s not a no parking zone, there’s no broken yellow lines and it’s perfectly legal. Which it is.”

The petition has been a last-ditch attempt to get something done after several unsuccessful attempts to get action.

First she rang the WCC’s 24/7 road safety line. No action.

So she rang the Police. “I asked them who would be responsible if someone was killed.

They had no answer to that question.”

A councillor just said he’d look at it “and to be prepared that it could be a long wait before anything got done.”

“I just don’t understand why there is such reluctance to fix the problem.”

Kathy is still on the case – she has left her petition at Johnsonville Community Centre and at a local pub for people to sign.

“Someone’s going to get killed on this stretch of road,” says Kathy O’Keefe.

Plenty of her neighbours agree that the Wellington City Council needs to make Barrie Street in Newlands, a winding street with two blind bends, much safer.

In just over two hours last Sunday and Monday, door knocking and standing on the street, she collected 102 signatures on a petition to put yellow non-parking lines on the dangerous stretch of road. That was despite many people not being at home.

Since then she’s gathered more, along with comments like “Thank goodness someone is finally doing something.”

Seven parks are permitted down the side of the road between the bends and they are almost permanently occupied, including some large vans. It means that what is officially a two-lane street has no space for two vehicles to pass between the blind

Festival day at Newlands

By Glenise Deaaver

Eid, or the “Festival of Breaking the Fast”, is a religious holiday that marks the end of the fast month of Ramadan.

This year, at the Newlands Community Centre on Sunday, Wellington City Council held the first Children’s Eid Festival, with a focus on fun activities for children.

As well, the warm hospitality and glorious food that any Muslim festival is renowned for was strongly in evidence.

Mai Mostafa, convenor of the Churton Park Community Centre, said that over 450 people turned up, far more than expected. (That said, there was no danger at all of the food running out.)

Community members and

representatives turned up to support their Muslim neighbours, and the new Waitohi Hub staff held displays and activities.

The fine day was fortunate, as there was considerable overflow from the crowded community centre, meaning that adults were able to gather in groups and some of the children were able to play outdoors.

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

Question: Do we need a new, lower speed limit for the open road?

Clare Pohlen, Northland “No! It has to be harder to get a licence. Professional lessons should be a requirement.”

Janice Stewart, Paparangi “Definitely not. Cars today just wouldn’t cope.”

Lita Wahapi, Johnsonville “Yes, we should do this.

Too many people are dying.”

Stephen Morgan, Churton Park “That’s rubbish. It would just be congesting the roads even further ... the nanny state all over again.”

Wade Hall, Thorndon “We have far too many deaths on the roads. We need to be teaching young people the responsibilities of driving and the realities of speed.”

Wendy Slieker, Granada “It depends on the road.

And lawbreakers will continue to break the law regardless.”

EYE ON CRIME In Johnsonville a grey Holden Cruze saloon, parked in a carport at the rear of a property in Phillip Street had its front registration plate wrenched off.

A thank you to our volunteers National Volunteer Week, celebrated between June 16-22, celebrates the collective contribution of the 1.2 million volunteers who enrich Aotearoa New Zealand.

By our next edition of the Independent Herald on Thursday June 20, it will be all but over.

So we are marking this occasion thisweek.

Many of this week’s stories demonstrate that Kiwi spirit of volunteering and it proved impossible to break just one out as an example.

On Page 1 and 2, there is the story of the Scout volunteers whose calmness in the face of chaos, a rapidly-spreading fire, can easily be described as heroic.

Then there are the volunteers from the Karori Lions Club who have, for the last

decade, been collecting and processing glasses for redistribution to the Pacific.

And what about the volunteers who organised the fun and laughter of a Children’s Eid for our Muslim children and their friends and neighbours?

Or the locals who spend hours recording the sporting achievements of their clubs?

And they are just a few of the many local people who volunteer for many good causes.

Thank you all.

National Volunteer Week 2019 runs from June 16-22. This year’s theme is “People and communities together.”

Join us this National Volunteer Week to stand together in our differences and choose to connect.

Knitting again “in” as a pastime

By Glenise Dreaver

Saturday was World Knit in Public Day and Margaret Taylor, manager of the Karori Arts and Crafts Centre, says there is a “real renaissance” in the craft.

“We find people are wanting to balance involvement with digital media and enjoying the hands-on creative value of craft work like knitting – and sewing, embroidery and patchwork.”

The Winter Warmers sale they held in the Newman Centre on Saturday, in association with World Knit In Public Day, proved a great success, she says.

As well as stylish woollen garments for adults, there were baby clothes, blankets and quilts for sale, along with well over 100 jars of pickles, jam and plants.

“The real chocolate dipping sticks, for use with hot milk, at two for $5 were a real hit,” says Margaret.

A number of the exhibitors knitted and shared their knowledge with those who came in to the sale.

“We deliberately kept it low key, because learning to knit can be intimidating,” says Margaret, adding that there is quite a bit of abbreviation and jargon in knitting patterns.

“People need to be stepped in with simple pieces like scarves and peggy squares.”

From July 3, KAC is offering sessions for beginners. They will be held once a month on a Wednesday from 3.30-5.30pm.

A day pass costs $5 or a membership is $45 for adults and $40 for children.

Nifty Crafters meet from 7-9pm on the third Wednesday of every month says Margaret, with the cost as for the beginners’ sessions.

And weekly, from Wednesday June 19 from 9.30am-12.30pm, the centre has a session for more experienced crafters.

These Onslow College students were on just one of the multiple stalls set up in the Johnsonville Mall last Thursday evening.

Learning for life Last week, Harold the Giraffe and his mobile home spent two days at Cardinal McKeefry School.

He was accompanied by his minders, two locals. They were educator Charlotte Rolton of Wadestown and Jess Limbrick of Newlands, project and partnership manager for the Life Education Trust.

The trust has a number of mobile classrooms which travel to schools nationwide, aiming to educate and inspire children to make healthy choices.

Room two children were waiting eagerly at the door for their lesson as the Independent Herald arrived.

Austin Elvington with John his pet rat, TJ Tuimvave and Alex Aneoja enjoyed holding a discussion on good choices with educator Charlotte Tolton.

They enjoyed the day’s lesson on nutrition and basic needs, as well as thinking about good and bad choices, consequences and what makes a good leader.

Charlotte is puppet master for the large and engaging Harold, who had failed to eat his breakfast before he came to class.

The consequences of that were discussed and our favourite, as well as his lack of energy to keep his body working, was the “stinky breath” option.

“Yes. He needs brain juice,” Charlotte told the children who correctly guessed that would be water.

Local bridge players shine Lynda Rigler and Peter Delahunty of Karori, along with former Karori resident Graeme Norman (now of Waikanae) and Ray Gruschow of Kilbirnie, all performed with distinction at the Hawkes Bay Bridge Congress held at Queens Birthday weekend.

All members of the Wellington Bridge Club, they were clear winners of the John Eldridge Memorial competiton.

Playing in a Bridge tournament is not for the faint hearted!

A total of 44 teams entered and after seven matches, the top six qualified for the five-match final.

The Norman team won four of those matches by big margins.

The winning team then completed a very successful weekend when they also competed in the Matchpoint Swiss Pairs with Lynda and Peter coming second fol- From left are the members of the winning Wellington Bridge team: Nola Eldridge, Marie Bristow, who is hairperson of the lowed closely by Graeme and Ray in third.

That way when an offer comes in, you know you’ve covered everything and that is the best possible price.”

He said even once his clients’ houses are sold, his post-market support is ‘second to none’.

“We will help you with your relocation, recycle any excess furnishings to local charities, sell any items on your behalf, and rubbish removal is always free.”

William YIP’s team has also been running their own community grants for the last two years and have donated significant time, money and support to the local community.

William said his team believes in ‘no regrets’ and in doing the best possible job in preparation and marketing, you will get the best possible price in the market. so when they get an offer they know no corners have been cut in the process.

Celebrating Matariki in Wairarapa Wairarapa market report

by Vicky Simpson

The market is buoyant, and in my history of real estate I have never seen such property gains to be made. Quite often we are listing properties on a Monday and they are under contract before we can get an open home the following Sunday. One bit of advice is that you need to deal with an agent that has their finger on the pulse and will get back to you promptly to avoid missing out. Some statistics show that the market gains throughout Wairarapa have increased by 40% however unfortunately as with all statistics they are out of date when they hit the newspaper – that’s how fast the market is moving over here. Why is this you may ask? It’s our lifestyle. So easy and relaxed once you move over you won’t go back. History shows that you can buy a lifestyle property over here for the value of an average house price in Wellington, or if you want to buy a residential home you will have money in the bank. It really is the best of both worlds.

Stargazers are in for a treat this month with several Matariki events on offer.

First up is Tales of the Winter Solstice at Stonehenge Aotearoa on Saturday June 22.

From the earliest of times four great festivals, the solstices and equinoxes, shaped society and formed the foundation of civilization. On this, the day of the Winter Solstice, we explore the legends and meaning of this ancient festival.

The programme starts at 4pm and, weather permitting, we will observe the Sun set on the Winter Solstice Heel Stone.

After the presentation there will be a shared meal. Bookings are essential.

Adults $20, Seniors $15, Children $5. Phone (06) 377 1600; www.stonehenge-aotearoa. co.nz Aratoi join the party later in the month and then it is up to Pukaha National Wildlife Centre to wrap things up on the

first Saturday of July.

You are invited to join a special family fun weekend., to discover what Matariki is, make an instrument to take home, listen to stories told in the Star Dome and explore with a fun trail around our galleries. No bookings are needed. Just turn up!

On Saturday July 6 at Pukaha National Wildlife Centre, a full day of activities is planned, with raranga (weaving) and traditional clay flute making (uku) as well as storytelling sessions, kapa haka perfor-

mances and a hangi dinner with steamed pudding dessert.

Will you make time to spend with them?

As a volunteer at one of Enliven’s homes you can give back to the elders of your community by spending time with them, enjoying favourite hobbies and pastimes, taking trips, or simply chatting over a cuppa.

Enliven is looking for volunteers now.

SPORT Sports talk

with Jacob Page

Read a shell of himself ahead of World Cup It is fortunate the Rugby World Cup is this year because if it was 12 months later, All Blacks captain Kieran Read would not be part of it.

The big No 8 who has made a career out of a high work-rate and deft handling skills was a mere passenger in the Crusaders’ 66-0 win over the Melbourne Rebels in Christchurch, on Saturday

night.

Even with his teammates steam-rolling the opposition, Read looked lost, a shell of his former impactful self and if we’re all honest, that’s how he’s looked for the entire 2019 season.

Read looked so out of place that even with the tryline at his mercy, he dropped the ball cold.

A player known for his high

rugby IQ and silky passing, particularly in contact, appears to be losing the battle to the undefeated Father Time.

I don’t expect the All Blacks coaches to cut Read so close to the apex tournament of the four year cycle but if he was a fringe All Black trying to win a spot on the plane to Japan, he’d be getting a thanks but no thanks message

on his cellphone.

Perhaps getting into the All Blacks environment will help him rediscover his game, but with that comes the added responsibility of captaincy - something he doesn’t have to worry about at the Crusaders.

The All Blacks are the best team in the world but make no mistake, there are more cracks

in this team than either 2011 or 2015 and an ageing, out of form captain is definitely one of them.

It’s a question of whether Read has anything left in the tank or whether his body is finally waving the white flag after a punishing career.

By the looks of it at the moment, I know which one I think is happening.

Slow start but big finish for Norths

By Grant Stephen

North’s Kiernan Hughes-Mason leaps over his opposite number in the match against Wairarapa United in Masterton on Saturday.

In the Men’s Central Football League on Saturday, New World Newlands North Wellington must have thought that their game against Wairarapa United in Masterton started at 3pm.

By 3.15pm they had conceded three goals, including an own goal and two further scores by Wairarapa United. The latter included a well-taken penalty by football evergreen Paul Ifill.

At the 26-minute mark Luke Grindley put Norths on the board with Matt Tod. Smith adding another three minutes later to make it 3-2 to the team from Masterton.

By half time it was 4-2 to the local side and personnel changes were made by North’s with Sacha Nathu donning the goal-keeping gloves after Nic Stanton retired with a hand injury.

Kiernan Hughes-Mason then went on a one-man crusade for North Wellington and within four minutes, he had notched up two goals to lock the scores up at 4-all.

Eventually Norths wrapped up proceedings with a 6-4 win after Ryan Worrall converted a penalty in the 89th minute and Jesse Randall seized on an opportunity created by Hughes-Mason in injury time.

Marsden’s director of sport Eliott Brookes describes their successes as “unprecedented”.

“These achievements have come about by hard work and commitment from the girls from the way they have trained and played week in week out.

“And we can’t forget the great support they have received from the coaching staff and managers.”

Year 9 girls Sarah Guiney and Emily Wong were two of the twelve selected from 38 triallists for their year’s team and will be going to the Nationals in New Plymouth.

Eva Whitfield, Laura Hausmann and Zoe Hannah, both U 15 and in Year 10, will also play in New Plymouth, after being selected from forty-eight triallists.

Eva made the top team (black) and Laura and Zoe was selected in the Development team (gold).

There were thirty-six triallists for the U17 teams and Araraina Takuira-Mita was selected for the top team (black) and Georgia Rich is in the Development Team. Nationals will be held in Auckland.

Rachel Albiston and Grace Masseurs, training partner, were both selected for the U19 team from 26 triallists, while Charlotte Strowger-Turnock and Saro Thomson made the development team.

The Nationals are to be held in Invercargill.
