Kilbirnie business owners are still in the dark over the completion of the Bay Road upgrade.

Last week council announced that work was nearing completion, but were still unable to provide local businesses with an offi cial date.

Bay Road business owners continue to remain frustrated with ongoing delays.

By Nikki PapatsoumasWellington bus commuters were once

again plagued by delayed bus services last week.

Island Bay, Karori, and Lyall Bay bus services were diverted away from the Basin Reserve, instead running along Taranaki and Wallace Streets, last Monday and Tuesday.

This was due to power outages, with the source of the outage being a cable fault buried on Kent Terrace.

Manager of Bus and Ferry Operations at Greater Wellington Regional Council, Rhona Hewitt, says the cable was repaired on Tuesday evening, meaning Wednesday morning peak hour buses were able to run along their normal route.

“Services that were diverted earlier last week have now returned to the normal route. As far as we're aware that particular fault has

been repaired, requiring no further work.”However problems are set to continue, with

the Greater Wellington Regional Council warning bus commuters that delays may continue for the next few weeks.

This comes after the Police Commercial Vehicle Investigation Unit identifi ed prob-lems in a recent check.

The Police Commercial Vehicle Investi-gation Unit carries out random checks to ensure bus operators are complying with operational and safety regulations

Ms Hewitt says that although NZ Bus expects service disruptions to reduce pro-gressively over the next couple of weeks, they can’t say when disruptions will end.

“Some of the issues that were identifi ed in last week's Commercial Vehicle Inves-tigation Unit checks need to be addressed throughout the entire NZ Bus fl eet in Wel-

lington, so buses are being removed from service progressively.

“While NZ Bus has a planned programme for this work, it can be affected by un-expected accidents, vandalism or urgent mechanical repairs, so the timeline is changeable.”

She says it will mainly be weekday morn-ing and early evening services that will be disrupted because this is the time when the largest number of buses is needed.

In the meantime Ms Hewitt encourages commuters to check the Metlink website in the evenings, to see what morning services will be disrupted.

“We appreciate that the situation is frustrat-ing for customers but we're trying to provide them with information that is as accurate as possible about the service disruptions each morning and afternoon.”

More delays for bus users

By Lydia Anderson and Nikki Papatsoumas

Continued from page 1Kilbirnie Business Network

Chairman Bruce Welsh says most Bay Road businesses have noticed a decline in turnover, with some of the larger shops also being af-fected.

He says nearby businesses have also suffered from a “fl ow-on effect” as the dust and disruption from road-works has discouraged shop-pers from coming to the area.

“We are fed up with it. The sooner they are fi nished the better so we can go back to making a living again.

“The upgrades have been done for the benefit of the community as a whole, but in theory the businesses are the only party that is really being

affected by all this. “It’s the businesses that pay

the costs of the work being done.”

Council spokesman Richard MacLean says work has been delayed by six weeks because cracks appeared in crossings and curbing, which have had to be redone.

“It's been a start and stop job.

“We're acutely aware of the frustrations and we're very sorry about it.”

He says contractors have been “doing as much as they physically can” to make up the lost hours, including a sixteen-hour day on Mother’s Day.

However Mr Welsh says Mother's Day is usually one of the biggest earners for some businesses such as florists,

Roadworkfrustration continues

and many reported a negative impact from roadworks on that day.

He says he is not happy with the level of regular updates from council on work progress.

“There was a reasonable period in the start and middle but I think it's died off.”

He plans to talk to council on how their project management process could be improved.

“I don't think the project's been resourced properly.”

Wellington City Councillor Si-mon Marsh has been keeping a close relationship with affected business owners, as the work on Bay Road has been progressing.

“I’m disappointed that it has taken so long, I really feel for the

retailers in the area and the local community.

“We were provided with three or four completion dates, and haven’t managed to get there. But I am really confi dent that it will be really great when it’s done.”

He wants to ensure the same issues do not arise with similar projects in the future.

“Council needs to review the whole process we’ve gone through with Kilbirnie, and fi nd out where things went wrong and make cer-tain we don’t repeat that mistake.”

Council says they hope to have the majority of work fi nished by the end of May, although work will continue at the Coutts St end of Bay Road.

inbriefnewsCommunity Law

By Arielle Monk, Massey

journalism studentThe Island Bay Com-

munity Centre may soon be feeling the pinch from the Wel-lington City Council’s long running restruc-ture process.

The community cen-tre has recently lost two permanent paid staff, although council spokesperson Richard McLean emphasises that staff were not laid off.

“One staff member's

contract expired on 30 April and he did not get another position. The other person is still working for the Council.”

Southern Ward Coun-cillor Paul Eagle says he was not told about any loss of staff in the initial briefi ng on the community services restructure, and heard about it through word of mouth.

“I’m just really disap-pointed. Those people get to know the local people – those relation-

ships now need to be rebuilt,” he said.

Mr Eagle also called for more transparency from the council on issues like staff restruc-turing.

He says it would be benefi cial for locals to understand the reasons behind the changes to staffing at the com-munity centre.

The Island Bay Li-brary has now absorbed responsibility for the Community Centre.

Southern Bays His-torical Society mem-

Island Bay Community Centre staff losses

ber David Ryrie says he doesn't think there will be any difference to the functionality of the Community Centre.

He says he had been informed of the changes by both staff members.

“We’re hoping it’s not going to affect the so-ciety.”

A council press release last week said overall the council structure had been reduced by 80 posi-tions since July 1, 2011.

Sam Banks and his dog Pumba who is a chocolate Labrador.

By Nikki PapatsoumasDog Registration fees are

set to increase again later this year.

From August 1 the price to register your dog will increase from $172.50 to $257.50. For desexed dogs the price will increase from $125 to $186.25.

A Wellington City Coun-cil spokesperson says the increase is linked to the CPI and refl ects general increase in operating expenses.

“We aim to ensure that we adjust fees annually rather than less frequently which can mean bigger one off increases.”

Wellington City Council-lor Stephanie Cook says that the increase is relatively minor in comparison to the cost of owning a dog.

“It’s really quite minor. I have two dogs, and the cost of owning a dog on an an-nual basis when you factor in vet fees, grooming, toys and training all adds up.

“When you look at the cost of registration compared to those prices it’s really minor.”

Ms Cook says she would like to focus more on allow-ing dogs in the central city, and establishing more dog parks around Wellington.

Manager of Paws in the City Sam Banks says that when you decide to adopt a pet dog it is important to think about ongoing costs.

He says that if registration prices are increasing it is important for the council to look at putting more areas

for dogs around the city.“There needs to be more fenced off

areas in Wellington. People want to take their dogs to the beach and the park but don’t feel comfortable letting them off the leash, in case they don’t come back.”

Another increase for dog owners...

Wellington Community Law will continue to receive government funding for another two years, although the Ministry of Justice has indicated funding beyond this point is contingent on major changes within Community Law. A spokesperson for Community Law says funding has not increased in � ve years, but they intend to deliver more services and have already started working on projects targeting their limited resources towards "the most vulnerable" in the community.

Scam warningUNICEF NZ is asking people to be wary of phone calls which ask for large sums of money on behalf of the charity or request a donation in return for a large sum of money. The scam asks people to call a number to claim money from IRD, whereupon they are asked to donate to UNICEF before the money is released.

Surf Life Saving Appeal


By Nikki PapatsoumasThe Newtown Cultural and

Community Centre will say fare-well to Anna Costley this week.

Anna will be travelling to Berlin, to work as a barista and says she is looking forward to a change.

Anna has been working as cen-tre coordinator at the Newtown Centre since 2007.

“I am going to miss so many things. I will defi nitely miss the community members that pop in and out each day.

“It’s become more than just your nine to fi ve job, it has been

so exciting and fulfi lling.”Anna says that she will be sad

to say goodbye to the community and has felt spoiled in her job.

“I want to say a big thank you. It’s a great community in Newtown and people have been very involved in what goes on here. I couldn’t have done my job without that.”

Anna says she will continue to be involved with a few com-munity issues from abroad as she is not quite ready to say goodbye yet.

Replacing Anna as centre co-ordinator is Newtown resident

Tabby Besley.Tabby has lived in Wellington

for the past year, and has recently worked on coordinating the annual fundraising appeal for Wellington Rape Crisis.

She says she is very excited to really get involved in the com-munity.

“I am excited to get to know the people in the community, and I am looking forward to being in a job that helps people which is what I am passionate about. I am ready to get into it.”

Anna’s last day at the centre will be Monday May 27.

By Nikki PapatsoumasThe Wellington Curtain Bank

will continue to keep local homes warm this winter.

The Wellington Curtain Bank is run through Sustainability Trust, and is a free service that provides curtains to community service card holders.

Marie Becdelievre from Kil-birnie had curtains put into her dining room a month ago through the Curtain Bank.

She says she was referred to the Curtain Bank by a friend, and found the whole process stress free.

“We knew how cold it was going to get over winter, it was very easy and they are very nice people.”

Marie says she was amazed by the quality of the curtains, which are donated to the curtain bank by members of the com-munity.

She says previously she would search op-shops, but it would be hard to fi nd the right size.

“They give you a form which explains how to measure your window, it’s very easy.”

Marie says not only have the curtains helped to keep her family warm, they have also helped them to save energy and be environmentally friendly.

By Nikki PapatsoumasWork on the new All Saints

Church centre in Hataitai is right on schedule.

Last week a crane manoeu-vred eight timber roof beams for the new centre over the top of the church, and into place on the other side of the site.

“It was l ike watching mechano pieces being put into place,” says the Reverend Simon Winn.

“We are right on course and

have benefi ted from the long hot summer.”

The new church centre has been in the works for two dec-ades, and work is expected to be completed by the beginning of November.

Church activities have been moved to St George’s in Sea-toun and St Jude’s in Lyall Bay. The church offi ce is operating out of The Hataitai Bowling Club.

Winter Decadence

By Andie DunneWhile the weather

outside is frightful, the fashion is so de-lightful!

And what will be your favourite new trend this winter?

If you are looking for pure decadence, you will see luxe fabrics everywhere … velvet in rich col-ours and prints, fur, chiffon, lace, suede, meta l l ic th reads, leatherette and ornate baroque detail ing with lashings of gold and silver.

We’re saying our farewells to pastels and a big hello to black and white mon-ochrome, you can rock this look with tweed, hounds-tooth, paisley, plaid, polka dots, checks, graph-ics and colour blocks, wear the look on your shoes, coats, dresses, hats, handbags and more. You can go all out with tartan in strong colours such as red, blue, maroon and green.

I f yo u’r e s t i l l scratching your head thinking it’s not for you, check the run-ways where all crea-tures great and small

paw their way up in everything imagina-ble from skirts to hats and big sweaters with just a centred ani-mal graphic print.

J u m p e r s a n d sweaters have also made a big come back in stripes, pol-ka dots, and with metallic threads through them.

Haute casual is basically the nick-name for promot-ing casual weekend wear created in plush fabrics and styling it up, not down.

They have taken away the weekend only tag. Big labels like Givenchy, Kate Sylvester and Chloe are creating these pieces.

Don’t be m is-taken, this casual look must be worn with faultless hair and makeup.

Coats styles with military detailing and heritage fab-rics look fabulous or look out for a coat in your favourite hue, you will be spoilt for choice.

Your feet will look stylish in mid heels or boots with interest-

Winter is just around the corner, but that doesn’t mean our Summer glow has to leave with the long, warm days. Here are four simple tips to help you stay healthy. Eat Well Make sure you get at least three servings

of vegetables each day, and two servings of fresh fruit. In addition, opt for whole grains when you can, and make sure you’re taking in at least two servings of milk or yogurt each day. Wash Your Hands Wash your hands with hot, soapy water

every time you use the bathroom and before every meal. Get Plenty of Sleep To make sure your body is fully capable

of fi ghting off illnesses this winter, create a consistent bedtime routine. This should include going to bed at the same time each night so that your body learns to anticipate sleep.

Take a Multi-Vitamin This simple daily step can play an im-

portant role in keeping your body healthy. Get into the habit of taking a once-daily multi-vitamin.

WE’RE really strong on customer service at New World Wellington City. If we see you need help getting your bags from the checkout to your car, one of us will step up and offer a hand. If we don’t, please ask. We’re here to help.

We like to go the extra mile to assist our customers. So we recently added a new service – our New World front door helpers.

On Saturdays and Sundays you’ll see our smiling helpers looking for opportunities to assist customers who need help in the carparks. They’ll help load up the car boot and will save you time by taking the trolley back too.

Be sure to say hello as you come through the door. If our helpers aren’t outside helping in the carpark, they’ll be by the doors to greet

our customers.We’ve had great

feedback from customers about our helpers so we’ve posted them at the door during other busy times of the week as well.

As helper Phoebe Hillyer-Brandt says, “We’re here to take the initiative. If I see someone lugging a huge trolley of groceries into the lift, I’ll race down the stairs and be waiting to help them as they get out in the underground carpark.”

We aim to be the best and really appreciate comments from customers like Sarah Weenink who says she travels all the way across town to shop at New World Wellington City because she rates us as the best supermarket.

“Fantastic,” says customer Emma Davies, seen here carrying Jude, 11 months, while helper Brent Bautista takes charge of the trolley.

Jenny George rates our service as “very helpful” as Phoebe Hillyer-Brandt loads the boot of her car.

By Nikki PapatsoumasThe Wellington campus of the

New Zealand Career College is encouraging more students to join their courses.

The New Zealand Career College took over Wellington Nannies College 10 months ago, and moved into a larger campus on Cambridge Terrace.

They continue to work with young people in the community, helping them work towards certifi cates and diplomas in early childhood educa-tion and care.

The school offers a nanny course, a youth guarantee certifi cate and a

diploma in early childcare. “We are really encouraging young

people to come in and study towards gaining qualifi cations,” says cam-pus manager Debbie Baker.

Ms Baker says they offer support to all of their students, whether it is providing them with breakfast, helping them with travel costs or mentoring programmes.

Class representative and campus advocate Laura Heath also encour-ages people to come and see what the college has to offer.

“I love children and I wanted to see what the course was about, I have worked in centres before.

Class representative and student advocate Laura Heath.

“The course is great, it is really good for younger people that may have left school and are interested in child care.”

Tena koe,What interesting reading in the

Cook Strait news on those candi-dates standing at the forthcoming elections.

Bernard O'Shaughnessy stood at the last elections, and like many, I was particularly taken by his policies. What disturbed me however was the way he dropped out, after the postal voting opened. Many people, myself included, had already

sent our votes in, by the time he decided to withdraw.

Initially, he told many he dropped out to support one candidate, and then changed to say he was supporting another. What those of us know who voted for him know, ours was a wasted vote. So, please if Mr O'Shaughnessy is going to stand, don't disappoint voters. The right to vote and democracy were hard fought for rights, not ones to be frittered away.

Many thanks, Ricki Soi.

Last Wednesday year four to six students from all around Wellington competed in a football competition run by Primary Sport Wellington, with 73 teams in total compet-ing.

The annual tournament is open to all member schools within Wellington City.

Director of Sport Alison Lavin says after

being postponed several times, the day went off without a hitch.

“It is normally held at the end of the fi rst term but due to weather and ground condi-tions the original scheduled and postpone-ment days were unable to be used. Third time lucky and the weather was perfect.”

Last Week Wellington City New World launched the Gillies McIndoe Research Charity fund.

The charity was established to aid the work of a team led by Professor Swee Tan at the Gillies McIndoe Research Institute.

Present was four-year-old Heather Ward, from Hataitai, who unveiled a sign show-ing before and after shots of herself as a baby.

Heather underwent treat-ment as a baby to remove a strawberry birthmark on her nose

Strawberry birthmarks are

a vascular tumor that be-gins to appear after birth, and Professor Tan and his team have been working on a treatment that removes these birthmarks.

Heather was one of the fi rst to undergo treatment as part of an experimental research programme.

The treatment prevented Heather from having to un-dergo countless operations, high dose steroids, and even chemotherapy.

As a result of a propranolol treatment, Heather’s birth-mark had disappeared after eight months.

Heather’s Mother Karen Ward says her family feels forever indebted to Professor Tan for his incredible work.

“We feel very indebted to Professor Tan. He saved her from countless operations and much nastiness. It is pioneer-ing and the treatment really does work.”

Wellington City New World has made a fi nancial commit-ment to support the work of the Gillies McIndoe Research Charity, and will be encourag-ing the public to support the cause by contributing to the charity fund over the next three years.

Wellington City New World Owners Ian Hong and Gary Baker, with Professor Tan and Heather Ward.

Wellington New World launches charity

Local dancers are per-forming with an Indian dance company when it returns to Wellington this week.

The Mudra Dance Com-pany's performance of “Satvika” projects the romances and battles of Hindu pantheon of gods and goddesses on to the stage with vibrant colours, insistent rhythms and an innate sense of theatre.

Performing alongside dance maestro Vivek Kinra and other senior dancers of The Mudra Dance Company is Caro-line Chin from Island Bay.

Caroline is a Malaysian Chinese who has been done ballet, modern dance and tap dancing since childhood.

She has been in New Zealand since 2003 and has been learning Bharata-Natyam for six years.

“I love how Indian danc-

ing brings back childhood memories from Malaysia and links me to my culture at home,” she says.

Zeenat Vintiner from Oriental Bay was born in India and is a Year 13 Queens Margaret College student.

She combines her love of dancing with her dream of being a primary school teacher.

Zeenat has previously performed with the Mudra Dance Company in 2009 and 2011 and teaches introductory level young students at the Dance Academy .

Satvika is at the Whitireia Theatre at 7.30pm on Sat-urday May 25 and 4.00pm on Sunday May 26.

Tickets available from Dash Tickets www.dashtickets.co.nz or phone 0800 327 484

Niki is really excited about being in our Newtown Club and hopes to welcome you all to the club really soon!


Jetts Newtown, opening on May 25th, will be the newest of 42 clubs nationwide. The club has a fantastic team that will be focusing on creating behavioural change in our members. Jetts is not just about the gym, it’s about creating a healthy exercise habit.

As a population, we are very unfi t, with only 10% of New Zealanders engaging in regular exercise. Obesity is on the rise, resulting in an increase in heart disease and diabetes. It therefore makes sense to be in an environment that is supportive of healthier lifestyle choices.

With friendly and qualifi ed staff on hand, we are able to give real answers to your questions and concerns. Few people have the ‘body beautiful,’ we are able to help you appreciate your body type. You can achieve the best results for you by incorporating regular exercise into your routine and living a balanced lifestyle.

Jetts has been operating in New Zealand for 3 years and continues to provide the convenience of exercising when you want to, day or night. We offer affordable rates with no lock in contracts and no cancellation fees. Members also have the added benefi t of free access to any of our clubs nationwide.

Our facilities are accessible to our members 24/7 by using a smartcard system with the latest security technology. We pride

ourselves on providing a safe, clean and convenient environment with state of the art equipment. Our qualifi ed PT team are there to provide assistance and ensure that your workouts are enjoyable and benefi cial. Upon joining, every member receives a complimentary personal training session and nutritional guide to help you achieve your health and fi tness goals.

Jetts doesn’t just care about our members; we get involved in the community to; from sponsoring local sports teams, to providing local businesses with the opportunity to offer exclusive deals to our members. We hold a number of charity events throughout the year, the next being our annual Tread-a-thon on June 24th, where each of our clubs raise money for a local charity.

Come on down to our club at 130 Adelaide Road, Newtown on opening day or call us on 04 212 3396 and chat to our team about Jetts. You can also visit our website www.jetts.co.nz for more information.

Here are some fun and unique ways to add clever storage to your home.

Traditional medicine cabinets and their designs can sometimes be limit-ing.

One stylish and practical idea is to have a niche in the wall outfi tted with

glass shelves and hung a mirror overtop as a door. You can match the mirror to the decor by using antique, modern and trendy colours and mirror designs.

Kitchen island storageIf you have a kitchen island use every

available space in it fo storage. Have a tilt-out cabinet built into the end to hold cutting boards, cookie trays, cookbooks, spare magazines etc.

Under deck play area

For homes with a raised deck, why not turn the empty space beneath it into a play area for the kids.

It not only provides shelter but a fun little hideaway area for the kids to explore their imaginations.

Lazy susan shoe storageFor those who love shoes

and have a large collection, a lazy susan shoe rack built into a cupboard space could be an effective way to store them.

Storage ideasYour Home Your Castle

New Zealand with its windy moist marine environment, f luctuating temperatures, earthquakes

and a tradition of timber framed residences has suffered from a legacy of cracked plastered cladding

on Monolithic homes. With the change in the construc-

tion industry from the traditional architect-master builder to a rush of speculators focused on realising quick profits the New Zealand housing stock suffered a further signifi cant number of failures.

Researching the vigorous demands of remedial work, the technical staff at Sto in Germany developed the StoArmat reinforcement plaster incorporating innovative technol-ogy to provide fl exibility and impact resistance packaged into a ready to use pail.

Using this pail approach a com-prehensive range of Stolit coloured finishing renders complement the Sto Armat plaster system allowing the home owner to refurbish and modernise their exterior cladding.

The team received the tracksuits as part of an ANZ Netball Uniform Grant. The new track suits will ensure the girls stay warm at games and training over winter.

The team says the red and black tracksuits are already

keeping them nice and warm, and they feel like the Silver Ferns when they wear them.

ANZ Kilbirnie Branch Man-ager Richard Wilson spent the morning training with the team and says he is pleased to be able to support the school through the grant.

“It’s just fantastic. It is so cold through winter so it is great to see them in something warm. They look very smart.”

By Nikki PapatsoumasTwo Rongotai students will head

to Hungary to compete in World Championships for sailing later this year.

Bryn Bennett and Cain Anderson will take part in the World Laser Championship Regatta, after quali-fying for entry by placing fi rst and second respectively, at the New Zealand National Laser Champs in January.

Both boys belong to the Worser Bay Boating Club, and have been sailing since they were 10 years old.

They say they are excited to have the opportunity to get on the water

with some of the best sailors in the world.

“We are going to get loads of sailing experience, it will be benefi cial to our sailing ability,” says Cain.

Bryn and Cain have been spending a signifi cant amount of time training in preparation, spending two eve-nings a week and all weekend sailing.

“Knowing where we are going

gives you more of a push to get out there on the water, it’s all worth it,” says Bryn.

A healthy competition between the boys has been great, and they help one another to stay motivated and train hard.

Bryn and Cain will continue to train and fundraise for their trip, before they head to Hungary in July.

A new downhill mountain bike track is being built on Polhill Reserve to ease congestion for the 50,000 people who use the area each year.

About 420 metres worth of track has been built to date and volunteer group Brooklyn Trail Builders expects to fi nish the one-way trail by summer.

The trails allows walkers, runners and bikers to travel between Aro Valley, the Highbury Fling and Brooklyn Hill.

The new route comes off the established Transient track and will separate bikers from walkers and runners.

Volunteer Kevin O'Donnell is passionate about building the trails.

“Our philosophy is to get people off the couch and into the green hills of Wellington,” he says.

Kevin has built tracks in the Wellington region since the group started six years ago, and is helping to build the new downhill track while maintaining others.

“The rule is if you build a trail you have to maintain them. You

build a trail well to begin with,” he says.

Kevin says illegal track building used to be an issue within the region because most mountain bike tracks are owned by the Wellington City Council.

The Council has now built a stronger relationship with Welling-ton’s mountain bikers and contrib-utes timber and pipes to support the Brooklyn Trail Builder’s project.More volunteers are needed from 12:30pm-2pm on Wednesdays and 1pm-4pm on Sundays.
