Upgrades to track in capital’s Central ParkBy James Baker

Upgrades to a Central Park track are to be started next month thanks to complaints by a resident who has been walking it for 30 years.

Brooklyn resident Keith Flint (59), pictured, says he is trying to get Central Park tidied up.

Mr Flint has been concerned with the muddy areas and logging debris on Moturua Stream Track.

“My family would come here when my daughters were little. The stream is quite beautiful if it’s looked after properly,” he says.

Replace those tired Windows - Think PVC

Continued from page 1Mr Flint says he has tried to make sure

the Wellington City Council keeps the track up to standard.

“I’m not doing it for myself, what I’m doing it for is the younger people.”

He is also concerned about wheelchair access for the park.

“Wheelchairs don’t come in here, I haven’t seen a wheelchair in 30-odd years.”

Moturua Stream Track is designed to be a wheelchair assisted track, however Mr Flint believes that ruts and muddy patches in the park are preventing wheel-chairs from using it.

“If there was a quality of track they could come in here but this is no good. You’d be bloody stuffed.”

In response to Mr Flint’s concerns council open space and parks manager Amber Bill has approved improvements to the track designed to improve wheel-

chair access and the appeal of the park. “Essentially we will be directing the

water off the track so it doesn’t continue to cause erosion and rutting of the track,” Ms Bill says

“We will also be doing some small retaining work around some of the bridge entrances up the Moturua Stream track, as well as some stream-side retaining in one section where there is some erosion to address.

“We are happy to work with passionate individuals like Keith who have a very good knowledge of the Park.”

Mr Flint says he is happy to play his part.

“I’ve been all over the world and New Zealand in my opinion is a marvellous place.”

“But we’ve got to really work at it. Particularly the young people, they’ve got to see, I suppose, the beauty of the country.”

Resident’s complaints lead to upgrades

A new exhibition of abstract paint-ings at Tapu Te Ranga Gallery in Island Bay showcases artist Neal Palmer with his own burst of creativity and colour after a long career as an arts administrator. The exhibition is called ‘Neal Palmer’s recent Abstracts’ and runs until September 30.

Neal has made a signifi cant contribu-tion to fostering the arts in Wellington. As Wellington City Council arts offi cer from 1990 to 2002 Neal was instrumental in starting up the Wel-lington Arts Centre, now Toi Poneke, Artsplash and the jazz festival as well as running the New Moon Gallery.

But it seems Neal has always made time for painting and now he’s enjoy-ing the encouragement of others; exhibiting at the Tapu Te Ranga Gallery in Island Bay, where curators Ian Logan and Rahul Gopinathan are dedicated to showing a broad spectrum

of artistry. “Neal’s oeuvre is a meditation on the

nature of abstraction and reality. He doesn’t like to get pinned down to one particular style or ‘ism’ but colour is defi nitely a constant.”

Neal says, “Abstract paintings should exist in their own right without refl ect-ing anything outside them.” Adding, “Though that doesn’t stop people reading into them all kinds of meaning or subject matter - that’s fi ne by me.”

Supplementing Neal’s exhibition will be a diverse selection of work by gallery artists as well as paintings and drawings emanating from weekly art sessions held at the gallery.

The exhibition runs for all of Sep-tember, closing on the 30th. Hours are 12.30 pm to 5.30 pm. For further information go to www.taputeranga-gallery.co.nz.

Wellington has houses ready and waiting for Syrian refu-gees.

Acting Wellington mayor Justin Lester says that the city council has about 2400 units available and there are vacancies.

“The accommodation is there already and we will make it available.”

He says an increase to take in Syrians was the least that New

Zealanders would want to see.“Pretty much the entire

country want to see some action and think we should be a good global citizen.”

Lester says that welcoming new refugees wouldn’t see Wellingtonians miss out on housing help and that council would always put Wellingto-nians at the forefront, but he was confi dent we can house them.

He says the issue is not just about finding accommoda-

tion but about integrating people into a foreign country and making sure they feel welcome.

“We want people to want to stay and feel like they have found a second home.”

Lester says Well ington played a leading role in reset-tling and welcoming refugees into NZ.

He urged locals to support their local Red Cross with donations of household goods.

He also says Wellingtonians

can donate their time to help refugees settle into the capital.

“People are coming to a foreign place a long way from their home country and it’s quite different, they aren’t used to sideways rain in Syria for a start."

He says the council’s aim is to ensure that every person who needs a home has a home or can fi nd a home.

“The issue is now and if we miss this opportunity we won’t be doing our part.”

Ready to help Syrian refugees

The inaugural quarterly Keep Newtown Clean event took place on Saturday to tackle litter and graffi ti in Newtown.

The event was formerly a monthly affair but suffered from dwindling volunteers for both coordination and labour on the day.

On Saturday, September 5 vol-unteers moved around Newtown picking up litter, removing old posters and painting over graffi ti.

There was also a free BBQ for all those involved.

Tools, paint brushes and rubbish bags were all provided - all that was asked was a pair of work clothes and a smile.

Keep Newtown Clean is volun-

teer run and requires members of the community to organise the four events per year.

“This is a grassroots event run by the people of Newtown for the people of Newtown,” says Wellington City Councillor Paul Eagle.

Mr Eagle says they now need a person or group of people to step up and volunteer to coordinate

the events.“I want to put the call out for

someone or a group of people to take the reins and help co-ordinate the four events planned each year. It’s vital it is com-munity owned,” he says. People who are interested in volunteering should email him at [email protected] or [email protected]

Parkour KidsIf you know any children that want to

give Parkour a go, a chance is happen-ing today at the Kilbirnie Recreation Centre.

The sessions take place over the next three weeks, and encourage children to train their bodies through running, jumping, vaulting and climbing to overcome challenges and obstacles.

Classes are fun, cool and challeng-ing as well as helping to develop and improve kids movement efficiency, spatial awareness, balance, strength and confidence with a strong focus on safety. If you are interested, head along to

the Kilbirnie Recreation Centre to fi nd out times for sessions.

six countries, China, Ethiopia, Iraq, Myanmar, Somalia and Sri Lanka, are looking for 20 hours of work experience in their local communities.

When they came to settle in New Zealand, as refugees and migrants, they had little or no English. They have been learn-ing general English for at least a year and now they are learning the language and expectations of New Zealand workplaces.

Kim Paterson, their teacher at MCLaSS: Multicultural Learn-ing and Support Services says, “Most have had years of em-ployment experience, driving trucks and tanks or working in retail, health or trades. They have been farmers, beauti-cians, soldiers, hairdressers, fi shermen, drivers, mechanics, electricians, chefs, support workers.

“What they need now is a chance to experience a NZ workplace, mixing with other Kiwis and progressing their English language skills in a real-life environment, rather than just the classroom,” says Kim.

The students are studying for MCLaSS’ Certificate in Workplace Language and Em-

ployment Skills.The curriculum includes a

work experience placement, with the requirement that the learners practice following instructions and learn about the workplace’s health and safety requirements and its expecta-tions on personal presentation.

Kim says that successful com-pletion of the placement will give them a Unit Standard, which, for most, will be their fi rst experience of the formal education system in New Zea-land.

“They get so much from these opportunities,” she says, “but they also give back. As well as being willing extra hands in the workplace they can share stories about themselves and their cul-ture and give a unique fi rst-hand insight in what it’s like to live and work in oppressed situa-tions. The employers who have provided placements in the past have told us it is a rewarding experience for their own staff as well as for our learners.” To � nd out more about what is involved in having a migrant or former refugee working for a couple of weeks in your business, ring Kim Paterson on 384 3693.


Newtown Public Library reno-vations give staff and patrons a breath of fresh air.

The library officially re-opened on Monday, August 31, after three months of work to introduce new heating and ventilation systems, energy effi cient lighting and a new coat of paint.

Leaky skylights were also

replaced.Before the renovation the

building suffered from poor air fl ow, leading to dampness, and unbearable heat in summer.

Team member Jonny Smith says that for the staff, the changes have made a huge difference to their long term comfort because of the brighter lighting and better heating and ventilation.

‘Having all those little things

fi xed just add up to it being a more pleasant place for the col-lections, the staff and the public to be in,” he says.

South Wellington Councillor Paul Eagle is also a big user of the Library and he is pleased with the result.

“The fi rst thing I noticed about Newtown Library was how warm and light it was,” he says.

The work was part of sched-uled maintenance and upgrades

for the building which is ap-proximately 25 years old.

The renovation also came with a refurbishment of the collection and a section of new books.

All staff permanently based in the Newtown Library were placed in other branches around Wellington during the course of the renovations.

As part of the works, issue periods were extended and overdue fees were waived.

Cameron Harrison Butchery in Ngaio is celebrating the announce-ment that they have won gold for ham at 100% NZ Bacon and Ham Awards.

This latest award will be added to their already extensive list of small goods awards. Cameron Harrison Butchery was established by Rob Cameron and Simon Harrison in 2009 and they were awarded a gold medal for their Manuka smoked boneless ham.

The previous 100% New Zea-land Bacon and Ham medallist and 2014 Ham of the Year winners are delighted at the gold medal

award. “It is really good for us. We

receive wonderful feedback from our customers and this reinforces the quality of the product for us,” says Simon.

Organisers of the award tell us that the recipe for Cameron Harrison’s gold medal ham is a “tried and true recipe they have been crafting for many years” and that “a lot of hard work and atten-tion to detail goes into each and every” one of Cameron Harrison Butchery hams.

The butcher’s small goods can be found at their Ngaio and Kelburn

butcheries, at Moore Wilsons, and recently at New World in Thorndon.

NZPork Chairman Ian Carter says that the 100% New Zealand Bacon and Ham Awards celebrate New Zealand Pork’s farm to plate story.

“It is great to be able to feature the best of 100% New Zealand Bacon and Ham for the eighth year running. As a farmer myself, seeing and tasting the exceptional small goods entered into the com-petition each year really highlights the wonderful farm to plate story of New Zealand’s pork industry.”

Visit & Experience ParliamentIn a recent study by Southern Cross

despite being a country renowned for our coffee culture, we prefer to drink instant.

The survey which was carried out on 1,650 Kiwis showed that 46 percent pre-fer instant coffee, compared to 34 percent who line up for a barista-made tipple. However, the capital also had the lowest rates of instant coffee consumption at 37 percent. Nearly half of Wellingtonians drink espresso or café coffee regularly.

Southern Cross Health Society CEO Peter Tynan said the research provided an interesting insight into the behaviour of New Zealanders.

“We know that we’re a nation of coffee

drinkers - half of us are regular coffee drinkers by age 17. We also know that almost a quarter of us drink four or more cups of coffee every day. That’s a lot of coffee. While there are a lot of health benefi ts too much caffeine can be a bad thing, and best consumed in moderation.”

It has been widely documented that drinking too much coffee every day can lead to anxiety and disrupted sleep pat-terns and spikes in your blood pressure.

And Tynan went on to say, “We want to get Kiwis motivated and making small changes that pay long-term dividends with their health and wellbeing.”

Branch chief Tony Gaeta says since the club opened its doors in November 2007, it has donated just under $100,000 to needy charities, including the Ronald McDonald House, Wellington Free Am-bulance and the Mary Potter Hospice.

This year the Berhampore club donated $15,000 to Wellington Hospital’s Chil-dren’s Hospital.

He says winning the award has “blown them away”.

“We just did not expect it… I feel really proud and happy for the students, their parents and anyone that has supported us.”

The club is non-profi t, and does not receive any outside funding.

Despite this, the club still manages to “punch above its weight”, he says.

The club fundraises through a variety of different events throughout the year – the biggest being their annual quiz night.

“It has got nothing to do with kicks or punches, which is what a lot of people would associate with karate.

“A lot of things we do outside [the dojo], people don’t get to see it.

“To get a little bit of recognition, for me it is just over the top. I’m re-ally proud of students… that they are bringing some kind of awareness.”

Tony says the club’s generosity is infl uenced through the Seido system and the money it gives to communities through its foundation.

He says students are encouraged to share values they are taught within the dojo to others in the wider community.

“They are role models outside the dojo as well, they are carrying these teachings out there and being positive role models.”

South Wellington Seido Karate is always looking for new members. Be-ginners classes are held on a Monday and a Thursday from 6pm.

Dojo recognised at WellingtonAirport community awards By Fiona Donnellan

Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, Nikola Tesla, Jason Khoo - Jason Khoo has really branched out with this latest invention which won him the James Dyson Award.

The 24-year-old graduated from Wellington in industrial design and his tree house platform for kids to build architectural wonders in their backyard has won the Kiwi inventor the top prize in the New Zealand leg of the awards.

The global product design competition celebrates, encourages and inspires the next generation of design engineers.

The invention is a pre-built foundation for a tree house that can be easily mounted without going through the diffi cult labour of traditional building methods. So parents can breathe a collective sigh of relief. “It retains the fun of a DIY project, without causing harm to the tree.”

The design also means the tree house doesn’t have to be a permanent fi xture and instead can be relocated.

“I spent my childhood riding bikes and climbing trees. Now society is too busy and technology is now limiting self-time. I hope Tree Mount will counter this by giving people a purpose for taking time out to enjoy nature, use their creative minds and build something with their hands.

The runners up were Philip Leyten from Wel-lington for his Triple Skin BMX Helmet and Emma Warren for her Bound by 8, which is a sustainable shoe.

Five New Zealand entries, including Jason’s design and two runner-up products, will progress to the international James Dyson Award competition in November.

By Grace Taylor and Olivia BlairEvans Bay Intermediate School

Evans Bay Intermediate proudly welcomes you to their amazing new production called The Science Affair...

a production that has given many opportunities to so many students.

A play written by six EBIS stu-dents, ‘The Science Affair’ is about a school that has been living underground for more than 200 years. Science has been banned but begins to take place again in secret. Unfortunately a test goes wrong and the kids are banished to the earth’s surface…. The question is will they survive above ground?

So far for ‘The Science Affair’ lots of students have been contributing in making costumes, props and scenery. The theme is steampunk and the costumes have been made

with lots of earthy colours plus silver, bronze and gold. Designers, Mrs Grove, Miss Gaston and Mr Fah have spent a lot of time creat-ing incredible steampunk props and costumes. Each character has a hat which has been made out of recycled parts like fans from old computers, lights, milk bottles.

We have about fi fty cast members, so it’s been a hard job making all the costumes.

Mrs Boolieris, our art teacher, and three other students have been painting the scenery on eight boards which are four times the size of her! It is taking shape very well and will be fi nished soon.

A group of students have been practicing make-up on the actors using pale and mud type colours. The Kapa Haka performers are going to look like Maori warriors and Poly-club members will be in

Polynesian colours. The directors are really happy

with how the production is coming along. The music is amazing and now just needs to be polished, there is choir, orchestra, ukulele group, band, Poly club and Kapa Haka. Two songs have been re-written to the theme science by student Nina Anderson. Well over 100 students are involved with the show includ-ing backstage, lighting, publicity and make up!

The whole school is excited about seeing the show come to life. “The Science Affair” will be performed at Evans Bay Intermediate on Wednesday 23 September and Thursday 24 September at 7:00pm .

The call for a toll to be placed on drivers in Wellington’s CBD is growing louder after studies revealed that more than 12,000 cars could � ood city streets after the completion of the new motorway projects.Some of the ideas suggested include a congestion charge, similar to that used in London, and fees that increase the cost of long term parking in the CBD.Other options include tolling new motorways, including Transmis-sion Gully and the Petone to Grenada highway, although it is be-lieved this will only have a moderate impact on tra� c congestion.

The Housebound Library Service is for people who are unable to get to a library themselves, people who may be housebound due to age, illness or impairment.

Residents from Newtown, Island Bay and other suburbs have been availing of the friendly and personalised service since 1975.

Maria Anselma, Customer Specialist at the Central Li-brary spoke to Cook Strait and said that the great thing about the service is that it’s not limited, the library materials may be borrowed

through the service, including talking books. “It’s for people who fi nd it diffi cult to get to the library on their own,” says Maria.

She further explained that prospective housebound residents are interviewed in their own homes to establish eligibility, and then books and reading materials are delivered by volunteer staff every six weeks, giving you plenty of time to read those books you’ve been meaning to get through.

“We profi le what they’re in-terested in, no one is the same and I’ve met some amazing people,” says Maria about her

time with the service. The service is great and

even offers lists of new stock and can provide requested items.

The service even extends to residents of Wellington retirement villages and best of all the Housebound service is offered free of charge.

Currently three people work alongside Maria to get these book parcels out to the 150 people involved in the pro-gramme, that means 150 people are benefi ting from the service, and Maria describes the Housebound team as a “well-oiled machine.”

The Housebound Library

Service can organise a time to go see people who are interested, they even provide books to rest homes and interestingly they can send books to ships. “We’re ready for anyone, anytime. Books become a lifeline for people,” says Maria.

For more information on this worthwhile service see Wellington City Libraries, phone 04 801 4121 or email [email protected]. Maria and the team can help you fi nd out if you are eligible or talk about other services available through the library.

Fair, Intelligent Transport says the pro-posed Bus Rapid Transit scheme will not result in faster transport.

The transit plan involves developing dedicated bus lanes, higher priority for buses at traffi c lights and larger buses to accommodate more people at peak times and cut down on travel times.

Fair Intelligent Transport (FIT) is a group of Wellington professionals dedicated to fi ghting the plan and pushing light rail.

They believe that the council has not properly looked at all the possible solutions to the growing need for a better public transport system.

One of the possible solutions is a light rail, or tram, system into Wellington.

In an article written by FIT members, they say the council has glossed over the case for light rail and rejected it.

“What is being offered is a huge compromise to what we could have for a comparable cost,” says Michael Barnett.

Michael has been an engineer for most of his life and in 1989 he joined the Wellington City Council as a roading engineer.

He is also the convenor for FIT.“We started FIT to influence public

opinion on transport issues,” he says.FIT believes BRT is a solution in many

cities, but in Wellington the narrow wind-ing streets and the need for high capacity buses poses an issue, with concerns about the weight of the buses damaging the roads.

They believe a light rail system will be a more seamless and less delayed option for Wellington.

“We believe a light rail system could be built between the railway station and Kil-birnie for $630 million and an additional

$180 million to extend out to the airport.” says Michael Barnett.

The benefi ts of light rail will include a faster travel time than buses, low to zero emissions, and a smooth ride.

“We regard ourselves as light rail advo-cates,” Mr Barnett says.

The council however, does not agree.Luke Troy, general strategy manager at

the Greater Wellington Regional Council says the council looked at all the options.

He says of 80 possible options, three core options were picked - BRT, light rail and bus priority.

Of the three the council has decided that BRT would be the most cost effective op-tion for Wellington.

Mr Troy says light rail does not lend itself to Wellington as there is not high enough population density for it.

Mr Troy says if heavy buses are a concern for the roads light rail will be worse as the work required to strengthen the roads to ac-commodate the trams will be much higher than what would be needed for buses.

Affordability is also a concern.He says a light rail system would cost

between $700 and $800 million to imple-ment and BRT would only cost between $60 to $200 million.

“There is an issue of affordability, do we have the resources to do that?”

The regional council is looking at two options for BRT - targeted bus lanes where there will be some areas of road set aside for only buses, and continuous bus lanes, where a bus route will have one lane solely for buses.

He says there are hundreds of instances of BRT around the world and they are looking for a Wellington specifi c option.

“There is no single defi nition for BRT, its shades of grey,” Mr Troy says.

Dear Ed, Quite some number of years ago regulations were passed outlawing tinted win-dows of vehicles.

At the time it was alleged that various illegal activities by gangs and bandits would be hidden by tinted windows.

Now tinted windows are more prolifi c than ever and create a real danger to cyclists who can-not anticipate sudden opening of car doors right in their path.

Now even busses are joining the tinted window brigade turning our GO Wellington vehicles into Al Capone look-alikes. Why on earth has Ab-

solutely Positively Wellington not remonstrated against these vehicles which obstruct pas-sengers views of this great city. Both tinted windows and metal mesh coverings treat us like blindfolded zombies, especially during twilight and at night it is diffi cult to locate where you are and where you want to get off.

Whoever instigated and or-ganised these tinted windows should be castrated and held responsible for this great deg-radation of our quality of life.

Paul FrankenStrathmore Park

Tinted windows outlawedDear Ed, In my 60's now, I have

been a very frequent user of the postal service in NZ for most of my life!

It has been with great dismay that I've found the postal boxes in our suburb - and also along the route to the city - largely removed.

In an age which depends on email-ing/texting more and more, I can understand there are fi nancial con-siderations which have driven the choice to remove the boxes. But what a choice! Nothing beats a tangible, handwritten note and card for its

closeness and signifi cance in laying out one's heart or thoughts or best wishes or sympathy in so many life circumstances. It is such a pleasure and privilege to receive handwritten pages - and it is such a pleasure to send them. Our society will be the poorer for removing the ease to do it.

The action to remove the op-portunity to both post mail and lessen the frequency with which 'snail mail' is delivered, is naturally going to discourage the use of the services - the 'ultimate plan' seems obvious. However, it was a shame

that no publicity was put out - none that I or my neighbours were able to see (it does look like a lack of courtesy, huh?) and so many of us were left to discover the unfortunate events at the very point of turning up to post our letters.

I am not a person who harps on about the 'good old days'! I don't even think I have ever actually used that phrase for real(!) ... but I certainly hope that better days could possibly/might even/ may be coming again in regards to the NZ postal service,

Wendy Vink, Island Bay

Postbox removal inconvenient

Dear Ed, Re "Word on the Street" (CSN Aug. 27), that question is a very old one, regarding what one would do if striking a big lottery prize or somehow gaining a large fortune overnight. My own answer is that I'm now too old, feeble, and near death to get much personal enjoyment from a lot of money, even if I had Bill Gates's enormous wealth. All the same, I'd use some of a big prize to do favours for kind people who've done them for me; and perhaps, just for spite, I'd give some signifi cant sums to my worst enemies, thus "heaping coals of fi re on their heads" which the Bible says Christians should, returning good for evil! As well, providing

complete advance payment for my funeral and burial would be a great idea. I already have some money in the trust fund of the Funeral Directors' Association of NZ, but only enough to pay about 45% of the estimated total costs. It would be nice to have a balance that would pay the whole lot, with a surplus that could be refunded to my estate, so that the fi nal benefi -ciary would get a little more, as he deserves. All of us ought to do all we can, before death, to minimise the work and trouble for everyone concerned, after we've kicked the bucket.

H WestfoldMiramar

Word on the Street

Dear Ed, I feel that Heather Bevan’s comments on September 3 needs a reply. As a motorist, scooter rider and cyclist for 30 years, I think it’s important to see things from the other road user’s viewpoint too.

I may be wrong, but I am guessing that Heather hasn’t ridden a cycle for some time. Bus drivers who were encouraged to try cycling in busy traffi c reported being surprised at how dangerous and exposed they felt.

A cycle moving slowly at 5 km/hr between parked cars at the lights is completely different to a car squeez-

ing past a cycle at 50 km/hr, the latter may knock the cyclist off their bike. The former situation is not dangerous.

On Wellington’s narrow streets, in the past, motorists would often squeeze past cyclists in, sometimes, dangerous manoeuvres. This practise has thankfully diminished, but safety is the reason why cyclists and scooters don’t move to left to let a motorist past, not because they’re being rude. If they stay in the centre of the lane, the motorist will not be tempted to pass.

I agree that cyclists are indeed

traffi c, but as such they have as much right to be on the road as motorists, and may legally occupy all of the lane if they feel they cannot safely move over to the left, that’s what the road code says.

Once again we see the actions of a few cyclists spoiling it for the rest, like those who run red lights. But as a law-abiding cyclist I refuse to be lumped in with “whinging cyclists who daily break the law”. Believe it or not, cyclists do not all behave the same way.

Jon Terry, Newtown

Motorists, scooterists and cyclists

Dear Ed, This Sunday, while attending church I heard that Parliament was virtually re-called to announce the all black team. I was gobsmacked and could hardly consume com-munion.

Dave Armstrong in this morn-ing’s Dompost clearly exposes for what we are really turning into.

On refl ection the best fl ag for us to choose is an all grey fl ag. All we have to worry about and discuss is what shade of grey?!?!?!?!?

Dear Ed, Thank you for the cycling feedback, Geena, Heather and Eleanor (3 Sep-tember). I can hear frustration with some cyclists, just as I was concerned by three inci-dents on my beach bike-ride. Cycling training is valuable, as I’ve experienced, likewise courtesy, whether driving, cycling or walking. On that day I asked my cycling com-muter spouse, what am I doing wrong here? We concluded: unaware drivers and no cycling infrastructure.

Safety and perceptions of safety matter – especially for many Wellingtonians who have said they’d like to bike but don’t. Parents and children are already out on their bikes. Contrasting a toddler on the back of a bike with a car-seated toddler makes a vivid urgent case for safe city-wide cycling infrastructure.

Yet cycling is still much healthier than not cycling, especially reducing climate damage which world-leading medical journal ‘The Lancet’ calls a global medical emer-gency - and potentially the greatest global health opportu-

nity of our century. The health and climate gains are good for all of us –Dr Alex Macmil-lan’s 2014 Auckland research shows for every $1 spent on segregated cycleways over 40 years, we gain $10-$25.

Missing from last week’s let-ters on cycleways and fl yovers is our dangerously changing climate. We have just years to reverse business-as-usual projections of runaway climate changes. And that one-person or one-country-is-not-enough-to-do-something is not an argument we apply elsewhere, whether teachers or All Black team players!

Let’s talk about what to save in Wellington, what matters to us. What about a new Council Climate Plan? With the fl yover off the table, how about 100% clean energy transport within 10 years? Light rail at the heart, suburban buses, good cycleways and walkways, car share in every suburb, electric Council cars supplying the lo-cal second-hand market…what do readers think? How do we want to future-proof our city?

Being winter and stuck indoors, when young children put their heads together over books and play then out-breaks of head lice are likely. Head scratching is a sign, but some people get a ‘tickling’ feeling of something moving in their hair. There’s no need to be embarrassed – even the cleanest heads get them. But, they are persistent creatures so you need to be persistent to get rid of them. “Come and talk to us”, say Self Care pharmacists, “for advice about treating and controlling head lice.”

Head lice are small, flat insects - about 2-3 mm long. “The Head Lice Self Care fact card has a picture so if you are not sure what

they look like, ask us for a copy of the card”, Self Care pharmacists suggest. Head lice live on the human scalp and feed on blood. They crawl through and climb up the hair, clutching tightly with their claw-like legs (they do not jump or fl y). When children have their heads touching, lice move easily from head to head.

Adult lice move all over the scalp, so to search for them and remove them it is best to wet the hair, apply condi-tioner, and comb with a fi ne-tooth comb. Wipe the comb with tissue to see whether or not lice are present. Continue to do this until you can fi nd no more insects. Repeat this procedure each day for the next 10-14 days. The eggs

(nits) – which are found stuck fi rmly to the base of the hair, especially the back of the neck and behind the ears - are diffi cult to remove by comb and need to be pulled out (or killed by squashing between fi ngernails so they ‘pop’. Leaving them means they hatch (within 7-10 days of being laid) and start the cycle again. That is why each day for 10-14 days you need to repeat the wet combing method - so you get any lice that hatch from eggs you have missed.

The alternative to physically

removing lice (by fi ne-tooth combing) and eggs (by pull-ing out) is to use a special head lice treatment. Your Self Care pharmacist can

HEAD LICE – Getting rid of the unwelcome ‘lodger’

advise you about the different types and suggest one best suited to your child. “It is im-portant to use these treatments correctly so read, and follow, the instructions carefully”, advise Self Care pharmacists. “Treat-ments need to be repeated in a week’s time because you won’t get all the eggs the fi rst time; you have to get them when they hatch.” Using the ‘condition and comb’ method, check the hair for live lice 24 to 48 hours after treatment.

Be sure to follow the product directions and repeat the course as instructed. Do NOT use animal fl ea or lice treatments on humans!

Parents often ask how to pre-

vent their children from getting head lice. Here are some simple steps:

Brush their hair thoroughly, every day – this can kill or injure lice and prevent them laying eggs. People should have their own brushes and combs, and not share.

Once a week, check your child’s hair for lice - the sooner you detect lice, the sooner you can treat and prevent them from spreading.

Tell your child’s teacher if your child gets head lice so other parents can be instructed to check their children, who may be the source of infestation and continue re-infesting others.

For more information about head lice treatment and preven-tion, talk to your Self Care pharmacist and ask for a copy of the Head Lice Self Care fact card.

Organisers say it was “passion and com-mitment” that earned Wellington’s Lifeguard Team the National Lifeguard Team of the Year Award. The accomplishment was announced at a presentation in Dunedin lately as part of the New Zealand Recreation Association’s (NZRA) Just Add Water Seminar.

The annual Aquatics Industry Awards are organised by NZRA to encourage development and recognition within the industry.

Wellington’s squad took the honour, however, it was a closely contested battle against six other teams in the New Zealand National Lifeguard Sports Competition.

The competition, which has been won by

the Auckland team for the past four years, is designed to test skills lifeguards have developed in their training as well as how they respond to emergency scenarios they could experience in day to day work.

NZRA Chief Executive Andrew Leslie said the Wellington team demonstrated the high quality and expertise of lifeguards in New Zealand.

Mr Leslie said, "The awards not only provide an opportunity to recognise outstanding individuals and organisations, they are a great way to encour-age continuous improvement in our aquatics industry. All of this year’s winners have made an outstanding contribution, not just at their facility, but to the aquatics industry in New Zealand.”

Wellington Scottish Book tells centenary storyOne of Wellingtons top sports

clubs has celebrated its centenary by releasing a 240-page book of its history.

The Wellington Scottish Ath-letics Club, currently known as Wellington Scottish, is one of New Zealand’s prestigious running clubs, and was the fi rst club to integrate track and fi eld with harriers.

The story of Wellington Scot-tish Athletics Club (1915-2015) is edited by current national masters 10k road champion Grant McLean, who last year was named Athletics Wellington Distance Athlete of the Year.

The coffee-style book contains more than 500 images, and refl ects on the story of athletics in Wellington, and nationally, as well as Wellington Scottish. Scottish has worked hard to be both a strong competitive and forward-thinking club

“It’s a story of what clubs do,” McLean says. “We’ve always done innovative things.”

Scottish has worked hard to be both a strong competitive and forward-thinking club, includ-ing developing an early form of multisport club in the 1970s (including squash courts) and leasing to a karate club.

Its story covers the main events, incidents and accidents - and profi les teams and individuals that have made the club what it is today.

It also touches on Wellington city as a location. “Wellington is a special running and walking environment – it’s a good place to run and walk, and a great place to be active,” McLean says.

Wellington Scottish has had more than 3000 members through its doors over its 100 years, producing Olympians, and national and world champions such as Anne Hare, Melissa

Moon, marathon runner Bernie Portenski, 1960s national cross country representative Grant Wheeler, and four times 1500m national champion Hamish Car-son.

The club has its own song, its own magazine and has initi-ated several Wellington athletics events, including Wellington’s fi rst weekly road race, the annual twilight Scottish Night of Miles, and has held the Shaw Baton senior men’s relay title for the past 20 years.

Wellington Scottish founding father is Walter ‘Pop’ Ballantyne, who moved to Wellington from Scotland in 1889 and formed Wellington Scottish in 1915 with his son Bob and Sam Hall after a disagreement over a race with a club in Brooklyn.

Moon, two-time winner of world mountain running title and the 2001 NZ Sportswoman of the Year, joined Wellington Scottish 29 years ago, 16 years after women were eventually admitted as club members. At 45, she is still running.

She recently took blind runner Maria Williams to the London Marathon as a step towards qualifying for the 2016 Rio Paralympic Games. Williams has just joined Scottish and will be wearing the red and yellow singlet for the second time at the Auckland 12km race next month.
