A little church on a hill shelteredhundreds of Lower Hutt residentsfleeing the risk of a tsunami.

Among them was Petone resi-dent and List MP Chris Bishopwho, along with his partner, fledtheir home after being rattled by a7.5 quake that struck the SouthIsland at 12.10am on Monday.

They left their home, whichsits about 150 metres from thebeach, and took to higher groundalong with at least 300 others whofilled the Maungaraki BaptistChurch where volunteers sup-

plied food, hot drinks andblankets.

‘‘Everyone was a bit shell-shocked but very grateful,’’Bishop said, ‘‘but people just goton with it. It was a bit frightening.I’ve never had to evacuate an arealike that before.’’

Church pastor DarylCollingwood said fellow churchmember Val Miller jumped intoaction as people began parkingnear the Maungaraki shopsacross the road.

About 60 to 70 people werealready inside the church by thetime Collingwood arrived.

‘‘Coffee and tea was happening,and he was welcoming everyonein making them feel right athome. People had to come and sitaround exam tables becauseMassey [University] are having

their exams here at the moment.‘‘We just said pull out chairs if

people wanted to lie down andhave a snooze.’’

At least 300 filled the churchhall - along with about eight fam-ily dogs - after tsunami warningsirens sounded.

The church normally getsabout 50 people to Sunday service.

‘‘People from around the com-munity met up, some from thechurch. There was a bunch in thekitchen serving drinks. Othersgot in touch with friends to say weneed more milk, more biscuits.’’

The church wi-fi details were

posted on a whiteboard, andphones made available.

The last people left about4.30am after members of the fireservice said the coast was clear.

Hutt City Mayor Ray Wallacewas with the city’s EmergencyManagement Team since thequake hit.

‘‘There are going to beaftershocks [so] people need toremain calm. Be with family andfriends, support each other andthose who live alone. My thanksas mayor to all the volunteerswho have done an outstandingjob.’’

FROMTHE

EDITOR

YOUR PAPER, YOUR PLACE

It is times like this that I appreciatehow strong the sense of communitycan be. Straight after yesterdaymorning’s earthquake struck, westarted getting reports ofneighbours helping each other.

People knocked on doors to seethat their friends and neighbourswere safe. They swapped storiesand cups of tea. Most importantly,they shared the awfulness ofenduring after shock and aftershock together.

And it is times like these that weare reminded of the great work ofour emergency responders. ThePolice, Fire Service and Ambulanceagencies do a terrific job under thestress of an earthquake; each one ofthem must be as worried for theirfamilies as the people they help.

But there are also unsungheroes; the engineers who checkbuildings to make sure they are safeafterwards, the people who feed outinformation as quickly as they can,even the telco companies whomanage to keep the phones workingunder such a heavy load ofeveryone wanting to phone eachother to ensure they are safe.

Thank you to all those whohelped in the middle of the nightwhen the quake struck; fromneighbours to volunteers to theemergency services. Once again,you showed the goodness of people.

Hutt rattled by quake but not brokenNICHOLAS BOYACK

The Days Bay

Wharf was one of

the few

structures in the

city to be

damaged by the

7.6 shake.

Lower Hutt residents wereshaken, rattled and rolled but thebiggest earthquake in decades didrelatively little damage to the city.

Supermarkets in the centralcity were left with a massivecleanup after shelves were emp-tied. Pakn’Save Lower Hutt staffhad to deal with broken alcoholand pasta sauce bottles.

Residents fearing a tsunamiwent to high points includingWainuiomata Hill andMaungaraki.

For the first few hours after thequake, central Lower Hutt waslargely deserted with a number oftraffic lights not working.

Alarms continued to ring andtsunami sirens rang, making ithard for those trying to sleep.

Reports of damage were lim-ited to the Days Bay Wharf, whichresulted in the cancellation of theeast by west ferry.

Parks manager Bruce Hodginssaid the Days Bay and Petonewharves had suffered damage.

A number of businesses inLower Hutt, and Petone, includ-ing Queensgate, chose not to openon Monday as staff faced sortingout the mess.

Hutt Hospital reported that oneperson had been admitted withinjuries resulting from the quakebut would not give details.

Residents took to Facebook tocheck on friends and relatives.

MP Chris Bishop described it as‘‘unbelievably frightening’’despite having felt manyearthquakes over the years.

Living near the Petone Beachhe made a run for the hills andwas glad to be offered shelter by apolitical Green Party rival.

That prompted a post by Chris-topher Erskine. ’’As John Howard

said after losing the 1987 Aust-ralian election: the things thatunite us are far more importantthan the things that divide us.’’

Regional councillor Ken Labanposted his support for the way thecity council responded.

‘‘Was great to be a fly on thewall at Hutt City Council iSite3am this morning watching staff,

volunteers and community cometogether in full EmergencyResponse mode. Mayor Ray Wal-lace was comforting concernedresidents, providing live updateson social media and supportingthe professionals in the Emerg-ency Response Team.’’

Publican Paul Rowan was oneof many who commented on the

lack of damage.‘‘I cannot believe how lightly

we got off. We had two bottles ofAmstel Light and a bottle of Leffefall out-of the fridge, which wecan’t sell due to being being toofizzy.

‘‘At home we lost a bottle ofhair dye which fell off the bookcase and squirted up the wall.’’

Trust hits 25-year milestoneNICHOLAS BOYACK

Zach Howatt, 3, works with physiotherapist Deb McKenzie.

‘‘Anyone who rangme today wouldhave to wait a year,or say nine to 12months.’’Lee SuttonWellington Early Intervention Trust

A trust that has helped hundredsof special needs children is thisweek celebrating its 25th birth-day.

The Lower Hutt based Welling-ton Early Intervention Trustprovides teaching and therapy tochildren with learning disabili-ties. Speech and music therapy,physiotherapy and early inter-vention teaching is available for35 children.

Service co-ordinator Lee Sut-ton said that with a limitedbudget, the celebration would notbe grand affair.

‘‘It will be a very modest after-

noon tea.’’About 60 parents were

expected, which she said was asign of how well the service wasregarded.

Most of its funding comes fromthe Ministry of Health and Minis-try of Education.

Children attend a weeklysession involving a teacher, fam-ily and therapists to develop skillsthat can be continued at home andused in the community.

Most of the children attendingwere autistic, or had Down syn-drome or cerebral palsy, Suttonsaid.

WEIT began in a KorokoroSchool classroom. The firstsessions were funded by parentsbefore government fundingbecame available.

It now owns a building inEpuni and has a long waiting list.

Teri Puketapu inspects a section of the Waiwhetu Stream in 2009. As a child he

caught eels from the stream, which is now used as an overflow for waste.

Stream far from

what it used to beNICHOLAS BOYACK

Teri Puketapu grew up feasting onwatercress from the WaiwhetuStream - now used as an overflow fortreated effluent from the SeaviewWastewater Treatment Plant.

‘‘When I was 10, we relied on thestream. Coming from a family of 10we needed the watercress and eels toput food on the table,’’ the WaiwhetuMarae elder said.

The Hutt City Council has twotemporary consents to dischargetreated waste from the plant into thestream. They expire in February2018 and the council is looking at itsoptions, which include continuing touse the stream as an overflow

The discharges make it unsafe toswim, fish or collect shellfish in thelower reaches of the stream and HuttRiver, as well as parts of WellingtonHarbour.

In recent years the quality of thestream has improved significantly,as a result of work done by the cityand regional councils, as well as byvolunteers.

Hutt City is consulting on optionsfor a new consent.

Friends of Waiwhetu Stream,Regional Public Health and localMaori have so far been asked fortheir views.

A ‘‘short list’’ of eight options,includes the status quo, discharginginto the Hutt River or into the har-bour.

Infrastructure manager BruceSherlock said the council did nothave a preferred option. The dischar-ges usually occurred in storm eventswhen the quality of water in thestream and harbour was alreadylow.

The only way to avoid overflowdischarges would be to build a newoutfall pipe discharging into CookStrait.

That could cost as much as $200million and in big storms, overflowscould still occur if the pipe could notcope.

‘‘It is just not practical orrealistic.’’

It did not matter if the dischargewas in to the stream or anywhere inthe Hutt River, as it ultimately endedup in Wellington Harbour.

The discharges usually happenedin winter.

Puketapu grew up in an era whenit was safe to swim and fish in thestream.

That was just after World War IIand the pollution that has occurredsince, saddened him.

New consents will have to belodged by November 2018.

Boy faced withrare melanomaNICHOLAS BOYACK

Isaac Young loves cricket but has to always wear a hat after a brush with a rare form of melanoma.

A big chunk was taken out.Medical perspective

HughMcCabe said he had spoken toa specialistwho told him she hadonly seenone other case like it inNewZealand in 20 years.It was the first time he had seen amelanoma in a patient under 30 andhe hoped it would be the only casehe encountered.Most of hismelanomapatients areover 60.NewZealandhas the highest rate ofmelanoma in theworld and anyonewith any concerns should see theirdoctor.

Paul and Beth Young found them-selves living a nightmare whentheir 10-year-old son, Isaac, wasdiagnosed with melanoma.

Two and half years later Isaac,now 13, is playing cricket andlooking forward to going to HuttValley High School.

His parents can talk freelyabout his brush with cancer andwant others to know that mela-noma can strike anyone, evenchildren.

It was particularly dauntingfor his mother, a family planningdoctor. She fully understood theletters from specialists spellingout the grim news that her sonneeded complex, life-saving sur-gery.

‘‘We spent evenings around thekitchen table talking and crying.We were really scared becausethere was nothing we could do,’’Paul said.

The nightmare started with asmall spot on the back of Isaac’sright leg. It did not look like any-thing to worry about but hisparents had their family doctor,Hugh McCabe, check it out.

He tried silver nitrate toremove it and sent a picture to theplastics unit at Hutt Hospital.That treatment did not work and

McCabe then shaved it and sent itaway to be checked.

‘‘That was not too bad. He putanaesthetic on it but the needledid hurt. The only reason I let himdo it was because he said myparents had promised me an icecream,’’ Isaac said

His parents knew the news wasnot good when they received aphone call from McCabe summon-ing them to his office.

At that point the medical sys-tem swung into action. Isaac hadnumerous scans and proceduresto identify the size and type of the

melanoma and whether it hadspread.

The worst was a sentinel nodescan, where doctors injectedradioactive material into themelanoma to help detect if thecancer had spread to his lymphnodes.

Isaac was warned that ‘‘evengrown men’’ could not take thepain. For Beth it was one of theworst experiences of her life. ’’Itwas just awful, I just felt sick. Itwas just so upsetting to see him inso much pain.’’

The good news was that thecancer had not spread but Isaacneeded to have a large chunk

taken out of his leg.It left him with a large scar

that he covers with a compressionsleeve but 21⁄2 years on, he is doingwell.

Although he has to be extracareful in the sun, Isaac lovescricket and has put the experiencebehind him. Every three monthshe is checked and is looking for-ward to getting on with his life.

Other than his light skin, Bethsaid it was impossible to say whymelanoma struck Isaac. Mela-noma resulting from sunburn issupposed to take 15 years todevelop. The message was thatmelanoma could strike anyone.

Sharing Your Health Information

for Safer Health Care

A Shared Care Record improves

the way your information is shared between

appropriate medical professionals.

The electronic Shared Care Record allows authorised health professionals such as After Hours

Medical Centres and Hospital Emergency Department doctors involved in your care within the

Capital and Coast, Hutt Valley and Wairarapa Regions to access a summary of information held

by your GP. From 1 December approved health care providers will be able to access your health

information to assist in your health care regardless of which of the three regions you are in

when you require health care assistance.

Most general practices are sharing health information this way. To find out if your

practice is involved in the project or for more information, call 0800 727 664 or

visit the website www.scr.org.nz

Through the Shared Care Record, information like your test results, medical conditions, allergies

and prescribed medications will be able to be shared, even if your practice is closed. This will

mean faster, safer treatment for you. All your information is stored securely within New Zealand

and all access is recorded and routinely audited.

You have the choice to fully opt-out of the Shared Care Record at any time or to ask your GP to

withhold some of your information. We recommend discussing this with your GP first.

Please be aware that if you choose to withhold your information that in an emergency or After

Hours situation the health professionals caring for you would not immediately have valuable

information available to them. This could mean additional tests are needed and may delay

appropriate treatment.

HUTT VALLEY ORCHESTRA

Support for LowerHutt community marketNICHOLAS BOYACK

A seagull picks from the rubbish after the Riverbank Market closed on

Saturday. A truck arrived shortly after to clean up the mountain of rubbish.

Lower Hutt’s Riverbank Market

Community gardener JuliaMilne wants the RiverbankMarket run as a communitymarket and the Hutt City Coun-cil agrees that it is a good idea.

Milne also wants a greateremphasis on local produce and aplastic bag free policy.

Current operator GrahamHamilton should also be forcedto do more to keep the areaclean and keep rubbish out ofthe Hutt River, she said.

But Hamilton denied therewas a rubbish problem and saidvisitor numbers increased sig-nificantly after he began run-ning it in October 2013.

Since 2013 there have been 24complaints made to the citycouncil about the market.

Council development man-ager Cyndi Christensen agreeda community market was a goodidea but said Hamilton’s con-tract was until 2019.

‘‘When we last tendered thelicence we were keen to receiveproposals from peopleinterested in developing andoperating a farmers’ market inthe Riverbank Carpark.Unfortunately we didn’t receiveenough interest to make itviable. When the current licencecomes up for tender we will cer-tainly test the market again.’’

Milne said throughout theworld, village markets sellinglocal produce were at the heartof strong communities.

The Hutt Valley was once themarket garden capital of NewZealand, yet most of the producesold was from the Kapiti Coastor purchased in bulk at a Wel-

lington market.She is involved with Com-

mon Unity which supported awide range of gardening andfood initiatives.

Rather than being run as abusiness, the market should berun for the benefit of the com-munity, she said.

Despite her view of the mar-ket she goes there every coupleof weeks.

It frustrates her that chari-ties and community groupshave to pay to have a stall.

Hamilton said he would behappy to discuss the running ofthe market with Milne. Hewould not say how much hepaid the council but said bonafide charities such as the CancerSociety and Heart Foundationwere not charged.

The market was a businessand to return a profit he had tocharge stallholders.

Groups that wanted to havesausage sizzles were competingwith stallholders selling food, hesaid.

His staff did regular clean-ups and he denied that rubbishwent into the river.

Visitor numbers had risenfrom 10,000 in 2013, to between20,000 and 30,000, he said.

Christensen said the councilregularly met with Hamiltonand he was aware that keepingthe site clean was important.Milne hoped that when the mar-ket came up for tender in 2019that community groups workedtogether to create a village mar-ket with an emphasis on localproduce.

It’s not Sunday without it.

James (named changed) hopes to use his new skills to look for a job, or do furtherstudy when he’s released.

Prisoners tap intoplumbing potentialAn entry level plumbing qualifi-cation could make all the differencefor 11 Rimutaka prisoners who wereawarded a WelTec certificate inplumbing and gasfitting recently

‘‘Participating in quality edu-cation can help reduce the likelihoodof re-offending,’’ prison director MatAllen said.

It was the first time the coursehad been offered to Rimutakaprisoners and covered all the practi-cal skills used in the plumbingindustry. First aid at work was alsopart of the course.

‘‘The course gives the men aninsight into the plumbing trade.They could choose to take their skillsfurther through additional study onrelease or enter a trade,’’ Allen said.

As well as practical skills they’vealso developed interpersonal skillsincluding time management, self-respect, communication and work-ing with others.

‘‘We’re focused on increasing thenumber of higher-levelqualifications prisoners can achievein trades and technical training asthis is generally what is in demandby industries.’’

Rimutaka has an industry, treat-ment and learning programmewhere eligible prisoners take part insome form of work, education orrehabilitation programme as part of

a structured 40-hour week.WelTec’s associate head of school

Nigel Phillipson, said the prisonershad demonstrated an appropriateknowledge and good working atti-tudes to do basic plumbing andgasfitting skills under supervision.

‘‘They’ve got some good skillsthat shows an employer they havethe basics. Some have a great eye fordetail and accuracy and that’simportant in a trade. If they wish tocontinue their learning journeythey’re welcome at WelTec.’’

Lower Hutt Master Plumbermember Stu Masson had seen theprisoners on their training pro-gramme at Rimutaka Prison.

‘‘What blew me away was thelevel of commitment that was evi-dent with those completing thecourse and the pride they showed inthe work they were doing. Theyclearly were passionate about learn-ing and genuine about using thisopportunity to better themselves.’’

Not only did they exhibit goodskill levels, they also appeared to begenuinely thankful to have beengiven the education opportunity tobetter themselves after prison.

James (named changed) hopes touse his new skills to look for a job, ordo further study when he’s released.‘‘I’m a hands-on person so I could usethe skills.’’

Mayor rekindles development debateNICHOLAS BOYACK

Upper Fitzherbert is the biggest piece of flat undeveloped land in Hutt City. This photo takes in the hills above Naenae

looking south.

More houses will be need to bebuilt in Wainuiomata in order forthe Hutt Valley to thrive in thefuture.

That is the message fromLower Hutt Mayor Ray Wallace,who has called for a fresh debateon developing rural Wainuiomatainto a residential area - an issuethat has deeply divided the com-munity in the past.

Hutt City Council’s urbangrowth strategy has some loftytargets, including building 6000new homes and a populationincrease of 10,000 by 2032.

In March 2013, Wallaceunveiled a bold plan to build 2000new homes in the UpperFitzherbert area of Wainuiomataand a $38 million road connectingit to the suburb of Naenae.

The plan was met with fierceopposition from rural residentswho did not want to see their landdeveloped.

The council eventually backeddown. But three years on, Wallacesaid Lower Hutt was now facing acritical shortage of flat residentialland.

A new house in Wainuiomatarecently sold for $500,000 andestate agents had told him therewas huge demand for new housesacross the city, he said.

The council recently spent$1.2m opening access to undevel-oped land in Wainuiomata,

bordering Upper Fitzherbert,which will result in up to 180 newhouses.

But the council still needs tofind an extra 3000 new homes toreach its 2032 target of 6000.

Although there are plans to

develop large blocks in suburb ofKelson, Wallace said the realitywas that the target could not bemet without substantial rezoningof land in Wainuiomata.

As well as Upper Fitzherbert,there is the potential to look at

turning the Wainuiomata Mallinto housing. The mall needs asignificant financial investmentand it may be better to simplyknock it down for housing, Wal-lace said.

Developing land in

Wainuiomata is not only crucialto Lower Hutt but the wholeregional, as Upper Fitzherbertwas the closest piece of undevel-oped flat land to Wellington city,he said.

The number of consentedhomes in Wellington city jumpedfrom 530 in 2009/10 to 614 in2105/16.

Lower Hutt saw its consentsincrease from 145 to 445 duringthat same period.

The council is looking atchanging the rules for land zonedas ‘‘hill residential’’ to make iteasier to develop the WesternHills.

The recent part-closure of theWainuiomata Hill road alsorekindled the debate about a sec-ond access road.

But it appears plans for a roadfrom Upper Fitzherbert to Naenaeare unlikely to be back on thetable any time soon.

Wallace said Wainuiomata Hillroad has been designed to survivea major earthquake and a newroad costing $60m was impossibleto justify.

Wainuiomata communityboard member-elect RichardSinnott said he was not personallyworried if the mayor’s proposalwent through, but could under-stand why some Wainuiomatalocals might be.

‘‘They purchased in that areafor lifestyle reasons and wouldn’twant that negatively affected.’’

Angels spreadjoy to childrenof prisonersNICHOLAS BOYACK

Volunteers from left Tony Jowett, Lou

Brooks, Anne Coghlan. Monique Black,

Jody Benscoe, Tania Nicholls and

Charmaine Young.

Lou Brooks has enjoyed working for

Angel Tree, making sure prisoners’

children have something to smile

about on Christmas Day. She is hoping

it will lead to fulltime work.

The only presentsmany of thesechildren receivedcame from AngelTree.

An innovative project is makingChristmas brighter for childrenwith a parent in prison.

Nationwide there are about10,000 prisoners and Angel Treevolunteers take on the massivejob of reaching out to every pris-oner in New Zealand.

To make it a little easier,Prison Fellowship, which runsthe project, has teamed up withUpper Hutt Work and Income torun a call centre.

It supplied unemployedvolunteers, who man the phonesfor eight weeks, hoping to learnskills to help them find perma-nent work.

Prison Fellowship nationaldirector Phil McCarthy saidreaching prisoners in 18 jails wasa big ask.

The children of prisoners oftenhad bleak lives in families thatwere dysfunctional. Often it wasgrandparents who had the chil-dren and they had no money tocelebrate Christmas.

The only presents many ofthese children received camefrom Angel Tree.

Once the volunteers had heardfrom a prisoner, they contactedthe child’s caregiver to see if theywould like presents.

Only a handful said no.

Angel Tree then contactedchurches who put the details ofthe child’s age and present ontheir Christmas tree.

‘‘After Sunday service, theparishioners all get the oppor-tunity to pick an angel from thetree. The card will say ‘the pris-oner wants little Johnny to haveLego’, or something life that.’’

Children are not, however, theonly winners, said McCarthy.Last Thursday, October 10, PrisonFellowship held a morning tea tothank the call centre volunteers.

Call centre supervisor TonyJowett volunteered in 2015 andenjoyed the experience so muchhe returned this year.

He is looking for an admin joband believed the skills learnedwould help him find work.

Lou Brooks has been lookingfor work for two years. After look-ing after a sick child and thenunsuccessfully trying to run herown business, she has struggledto find work.

Unable to provide prospective

employers with recent references,she hoped volunteering wouldshow she was highly motivated.

‘‘I want to show I am ready andnot rusting away.’’

Working on such a worthy

project was also rewarding and aneye opener.

‘‘It is amazing how many chil-dren are being supported by theirgrand parents who can’t affordpresents because they have to pay

for food and housing.’’Angel Tree facilitator Lady

Talaepa said the project would notwork without the volunteers.

Last year Angel Tree organised3400 gifts for children.

Wilford School students haveplanted trees to express theirdreams of peace.

On November 4 the Petone-based students celebratedParihaka Peace Day, the anniver-sary of when colonial troopsmarched on Parihaka in 1881,plundered the settlement andarrested the leaders of a passiveresistance to land confiscations -Tohu Kakahi and Te Whiti oRongomai.

The nine tamariki who haveconnections to the iwi Te Atiawa,whose ancestral home is Tara-naki where Parihaka settlement

is, helped plant five native treesthat have traditional use asrongoa (Maori medicine).

Selwyn Haweria RangiOkeroa, 10-year-olds, liked stand-ing up in assembly explainingwho he was and where he camefrom. Milana Alexandra, 6-years-old, enjoyed singing the waiata,Te Aroha.

Parent and landscape designerTodd Wagner advised the schoolon what were suitable trees toplant.

Each tree represented the iwiTe Atiawa, Taranaki, NgatiRuanui, Ngati Tama and one wasincluded for Wilford School.

A jar of soil was passed around

the 313 pupils so that they couldshare their personal wishes,hopes and dreams for peace.

Teacher Ropene Johnsonleadthe children in waiata.

Pastor Karen Molloy blessedthe trees, expressing her hopes forthis special day.

The tree planting was a sym-bolic gesture to recognise andacknowledge the events thathappened on the land at Parihaka,as well as the local Port NicholsonPurchase Deed.

This is the second year thatWilford School hascommemorated Parihaka PeaceDay. Last year it included a giftexchange.

Training tips toget run-ready

Start with an easywalk/run in theseearly weeks.

Runners at the start of Wellington’s Round the Bays earlier this year.

RACHEL GRUNWELL

Now is the time to step it up fortraining for the annualWellington event - Cigna Roundthe Bays.

The family-friendly event is 14weeks away – on 19 February 2017– so there is plenty of time to trainwell and make the most of thishealth journey.

This way, you’ll reach yourhealth goal with ease and beproud of your efforts at the finishline. If you haven’t registered,then do so now so you can get themaximum health benefits frombecoming a stronger runner.

There’s a distance for everyone– whether you want to walk withyour baby in a buggy, do the funrun, tackle 10km, or go thedistance with the mightychallenge of the Cigna AchillesHalf Marathon (21km).

To help kick-start yourtraining, I’ve listed some tipsbelow which helped me on my runjourney. They are tried and testedand I know they work.

Only a few years ago I’d puffwhile merely walking andpushing my youngest son in apram, but I slowly built up myfitness with a gentle walk/runroutine to now being able to runlonger distances with ease. So if

this mum can, you can!

TIPS FOR RUNNERSStart with an easy walk/runaround your neighbourhood for10-20-minutes in these earlyweeks. Walk for two power poles,run the next two, then repeat.Over time, you will run more andwalk less. Do this two or threetimes weekly. Keep it fun.

Don’t run too fast to avoidgetting injured.

Run with good posture. A trickis to imagine a string above yourhead pulling you upright.

Try to keep your arms by your

side. Flapping them wastesenergy - and looks a bit uncool!

Look both ways beforecrossing any roads and don’t haveyour music up too loud. Safety is

important – and be particularlywatchful if you have little oneswith you.

Drink water, not sugarydrinks.

EARTHQUAKES AND

INFRASTRUCTUREDespite waking to the 7.5magnitude earthquake andfinding we had no power it wasreassuring to see the streetlightsstill on as I checked on theneighbour, still have drinkingwater flowing through the pipesand a sewerage system thatworked. This is not a call to becomplacent, just a reminder to beprepared. I know that council staffwill be out first thing checkingreservoirs, bridges and otheressential infrastructure. Keep upthe good work.

REGIONAL ACTION PLANThe local body elections havecome and gone and I do want tocongratulate all those who madeit, and to those who did not, pleasedon’t be disheartened. Take thelearnings and give it a go nexttime.

I am not sure I agree with allthe pontificators who allege weare failing to connect with thepublic at local election time. It’strue that the Wellington Cityturnout (42 per cent ) was ratherbetter than ours at 38 per cent, butthere was no contest here for themayoralty. Chief among our Huttissues are the urgent need forflood protection in the HuttRiver’s Melling and Ewen reaches

of Central Hutt, where humanlives, and property worth $2billion, are at risk from stopbanks more than 100 years old,which could burst, any day. Builtwith horses and drays, and totallyinadequate in the event of a majorclimate event.

In the pre-election publicity ofDavid Ogden, he promised that hewill act to reduce regional councilrates. This has garnered him a lotof votes.

I can see little room to reducerates at the regional council. Youcould cut suburban train and busservices, but satisfaction levelsare pretty high. You could attackthe expenditure on bulk watersupply maintenance but thiscould well expose our communityto the same problems of bacteriaentering the water supply as inHavelock North.

That leaves the river floodprotection plan. Since there isonly one major project which hecan influence (and that is the Hutt

River Flood Protection project,which involves the strengtheningof the banks of the stretch of theriver between the Melling andEwen Bridges), I think we have aright to know whether or not hewill support the completion ofthat work, since it has nowbecome urgent because of

increasing ‘‘weather bomb’’events. The regional council’s 10Year Plan states that ‘‘theWellington region is particularlyvulnerable to earthquakes,tsunami, major storms, floods andlandslips. Climate change isexpected to increase thefrequency and intensity of storms

as well as increase flood risk andcoastal erosion through sea levelrise’’.

So Mr Ogden. we need to knowurgently which of the aboveregional council activities are youproposing to cut? (Abridged)

Swastikaexhibitedas artABBY BROWN

Check out Mel Ford’s work at The Creative Clay’s annual exhibition at the Odlin

Art Gallery.

For eight years Mel Ford has notknown what to do with a piece ofbroken German ceramic with aswastika on it that she had found.

When she started puttingtogether her White Trash exhi-bition as part of The CreativeClay’s annual exhibition, she dis-covered its purpose.

‘‘I put in the White Trash exhi-bition because that is what is,’’she said.

Most of the Otaki artist’s workwas made partially from pieces ofceramics found at landfills.

Ford repurposes rubbish a lot.When she went to Canada last

year, after winning the MedaltaArtists Residency Award, shefound huge defunct industrial cer-amic factories and kilns aroundthe residency.

From there she used ceramicshards of pieces that had beendeemed unfit to sell.

The tutor at the Learning Con-nexion was one of the judges forthis year’s ECC NZ Student Craft

and Design Awards in conjunc-tion with the Dowse, and is also afinalist in the 2016 prestigiousPortage Awards for ceramics.

She has been a contributor inthe Portage over the past sevenyears.

❚ The Creative Clay’s annualexhibition is exhibiting some ofFord’s work, along with localceramicists, from November 23to December 4 at the Odlin ArtGallery, Hutt Art Centre,which is open from 10 to 4pm.

BeintowinaYarisThe lure of driving a new car away forthe Christmas holidays is sending HuttValley shoppers into a frenzy as entriesstack up for the Great Toyota Giveaway.Participating local retailers have been

tearing through their pads of entryforms, keeping The Hutt News and UpperHutt Leadermanager Grant Davidsonbusy delivering fresh bundles as thecompetition heats up.“Shoppers have really got behind the

local flavour of this competition and havebeen keeping tills ringing up and downthe valley all month,” Davidson says.“It’s fantastic to see local dollars being

put back into Hutt pockets.”Last year the giveaway generated

around $2 million in sales, and this year’scompetition is looking just as golden forthe 60-plus shops involved.The prize everybody is going wild for is

a Toyota Yaris, donated by giveawaysponsor King Toyota. Ideal in size, safetyand fuel economy for busy families, theYaris is one of King Toyota’s top-sellingmodels.The giveaway will conclude on

December 3 at Trentham’s Christmas atthe Races, where a lucky punter will bedrawn from the crowd to join four otherfinalists in a nail-biter finale.“Smart shoppers should keep racking

up their $20 entries, but a day at theraces could win you a Yaris, so why notget along and test your luck?” Davidsonsays.

KiwiclassicParaRubberbouncesback intoaction

That nostalgic whiff of foam and rubber isback as Kiwi classic Para Rubber returns toWellington after 17 years.The much-loved pools and rubber shop

reopened in Petone in August, saving fansa trip to the nearest branch in PalmerstonNorth. The last local outlet, in Upper Hutt,closed in 1999.Owner Grace Innes had risen as high as

she could at the Hamilton store, anddecided to re-establish Para Rubber in thecapital. Shoppers have been flocking to theplace since day one, she says.‘‘It’s a lot of excitement, a lot of

nostalgia. People walk in and theyremember the smell.’’The shop’s most popular item by

far is foam cut to size – people loveit for mattresses, reupholsteringcouches, and countless otherpractical uses, Grace says.Also selling well are rubber rolls

and trims, often bought for automotivejobs, and, of course, the above-groundpools many people associate with thebrand.The new branch is at 46 Jackson St,

between Pak’n Save and Kathmandu.‘‘It’s a bright yellow building, you can’t

miss it,’’ Grace says.Joining the Great Toyota Giveaway was

a great way to get word out about ParaRubber’s welcome return, she says. Thecompetition has generated so manyentries in-store that Grace has had to askfor new pads of entry forms just to keepup with demand.

Accountant not by-the-numbers fare

Whether by

accident or design,

the Ben Affleck-

starring The

Accountant strikes

an ever-watchable

balance.

Review

TheAccountant(M)Directed byGavinO’ConnorStarring BenAffleck, AnnaKendrick, JohnLithgow128mins★★★★

Don’t be fooled by the title – TheAccountant is violent fun,punctuated by laugh out loudmoments and unexpectedlystrong drama.

Surely a franchise starter, thefilm builds a consistent worldthat’s at turns realistic andridiculous, and, in an unusualturn of events, chooses not toham-fistedly spell every singlething out for its audience.

Fortunately, given how silly itcan get.

Despite juggling a potentiallyfatal number of competingelements – coming across as aFrankensteined hybrid of JohnWick and A Beautiful Mind withhints of the over-seriousness ofZack Snyder (yet somehow in agood way) – whether by accidentor design, The Accountant strikesan ever-watchable balance.

As his character – a high-functioning autistic accountancywhiz and arse-kicker – suggests,Affleck has plenty to work with,including the challenge of notgoing full Simple Jack with hisperformance.

He’s not terribly successful athiding his movie star charismabehind an affected remove, but isaided considerably by the factthat as Christian Wolff he’s notgunning for an Oscar, but a bunchof bad dudes.

And doing so in the role ofsomeone who’s successfullylearned to pass as ‘‘Joe average’’ –

for the most part.Though we’re spared a

predictable romantic subplot(where it would fit in this long-ishjumble is anyone’s guess), there’sstill plenty to enjoy aboutAffleck’s screen time with Anna

Kendrick, the strongest of asupporting cast that’s almostuniformly underused.

That doesn’t get in the way ofenjoying The Accountant, though– its sombre savant is starenough, backed up with solid

action sequences and plenty ofinteresting elements jostling forattention – in a manner thatcouldn’t be further from rote,risible fare such as the recentJack Reacher sequel. – SteveNewall

What car does an engine expert drivehome from work each day? Just ask King

Toyota’s master technician Dave, who can’t

heap enough praise on the reliability, comfort

and safety of his own RAV4 GXL.

Mechanical quality was top of Dave’s list when

choosing a new car three years ago.

“I work on engines five days a week,

I don’t want to work on my own car as well.

I wanted something that’s reliable and low

maintenance,” he says.

While practicality lured Dave to the RAV4, its

features and driveability have turned him into a

RAV4 convert.

“It handles better than I thought it would. I live

in Eastbourne and it takes the winding corners

really well,” he says.

“It tows a jet-ski easily. I was driving up toParaparaumu beach at 100km/h and forgot thejet-ski was on the back – that’s how nicelyit drives.”

Having owned Corollas most of his life, Davewas impressed by his 2013 RAV4’s features,which are now standard, such as cruisecontrol and an interactive display that showsthe car’s fuel usage.

His favourite feature, however, is the stereo– six speakers, with an amazing sub wooferand the ability to play music off his phoneusing bluetooth.

Dave’s GXL specifications include front wheeldrive, 17-inch alloy wheels, reversing camera,keyless smart entry and push-button ignition.Its 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine boasts afuel economy of 7.9L per 100km of standard

unleaded. Add rain-sensing wipers andprojector-style headlamps and you have asmooth and stress-free ride.

Automatic transmission was an essential forDave, he says.

“I’m quite a fan of automatic. I can’t bebothered with manual. Traffic is the worst –I did a Christmas parade once in a manualvehicle, it’s pretty hard on your clutch leg.”

Safety is another top feature of the RAV4 forthe mechanic.

“It’s got lots of airbags, you do feel safe.You’reup a little bit higher, you can see a lot more.”

Add generous interior space and storage of577 litres, and Dave couldn’t be more thrilledwith his choice.

“I just love it,” he says.

Trust’s new sculpturetastefully unveiledABBY BROWN

Gracefield School students enjoy their Griffins biscuits as they appreciate

the art sculpted by Barry Te Whatu and Sonny Davis.

It made sense that Griffinsbiscuits were served for after-noon tea when a sculpture wasunveiled on November 11.

The granite stones, whichwere used to grind coconut forKrispie biscuits at the formerLower Hutt Griffins factory,have been carved into threeparts of one sculpture byTaranaki-based Barry Te Whatuand Sonny Davis of WaiwhetuMarae.

It is part of the WaiwhetuSculpture Walk the E TuAwakairangi Hutt Public ArtTrust is developing.

As well as traditional Maorimotifs, such as taniwha includ-ing Ngake and Whataitai, whoMaori legend says originallycame down Waiwhetu Streamwhere the sculpture is, it alsoincorporates motifs from vari-ous biscuits.

The sculpture pays homageto the biscuit factory, with thetop a heart shape representingthe Shrewsbury biscuit and theedge shaped like a Krispie.

Former Griffins employeesattended the unveiling.

Many had already visited thesite and shared memories of thefactory with the artists.

Mayor Ray Wallace said hemissed being able to smell thebiscuits baking as he drove pastthe factory.

The sculpture took the trusttwo years from concept to com-

pletion.The sculptors said they lost

track of how many hours theyput into carving it on-sitethroughout winter.

Te Whatu and Davis saidtheir ‘‘crazy passion’’ took a lotout of them mentally, physicallyand spiritually.

They had often worked from8 am to 5.30 pm every weekday.

Davis, who usually workedin wood, said he was lucky tohave the opportunity to workalongside Te Whatu.

Te Whatu completed aboutsix to eight sculptures each yearbut he said this was a unique

opportunity to work in granite.He usually worked with

Taranaki stone and sometimeswhale bone.

The artists and trust weregrateful to various engineersand scaffolding companieswhich had helped move thestones to the corner of Bell Rdand Riverside Rd.

It joins a sculpture walk thatconsists of two other sculpturesthat were unveiled in November2015.

The trust was planning tohave 10 sculptures along thetrail and had budgeted $10,000for each.

Healthy options to help fight obesityGED CANN

NZ Kids Foods founder

Renee Ailao with a school

delivery.

A new industry allowing parentsto order school lunches online isbooming, and one Wellingtonprincipal says it may be a key toreducing rates of child obesity.

Berhampore School principalMark Potter said when the schoolbegan focusing on healthy eatingit was difficult to find suppliers,but for the past couple of yearscompanies had been lining up tofill the need.

‘‘What we’re seeing is there’s alot more people entering the mar-ket now. We used to go aroundapproaching businesses andbakeries, and it was quite difficultto find anyone near us to fulfilthat kind of food requirement.’’

He said more parents wereopting to order online as theystruggled to find the time to pre-pare lunches in the morning.

Potter said the industry mightprove an effective method of com-bating obesity in schools.

NZ Kids Foods is just one of thenew players in a rapidly expand-ing market.

Founder Renee Ailao saidsince it started two years agoonline providers had increasedfrom two to about 10.

‘‘It’s based around healthy eat-ing and we’re all heading thatway. However, there are stillsome options on there that I feelare just filling the gaps.’’

NZ Kids Food operates from a

commercial kitchen inWainuiomata and is able to pre-pare food for up to 5000 children aday.

‘‘We have nearly 100 schoolsonboard just in Wellington – it’spicked up a lot just in the lastyear. That ranges from earlychildhood centres to colleges.’’

Parents with a CommunityServices Card receive a discount,but Corrina School principal

Michele Whiting said orderingmeals was still well beyond familybudgets in her decile 1 school,where children sometimes had nomoney at all for food.

‘‘We provide sandwiches forthose without lunch,’’ Whitingsaid.

Galina Loftus-Brigham, direc-tor of Lunchonline, whichprovides services nationally, saidshe had also noticed a spike in

demand.A Ministry of Health survey in

2015 found more than half ofschools had no formal policy onhealthy eating, and a third offeredno healthy eating options in theircafeterias.

It found 39 per cent of schoolsmanaged their own lunches,while a quarter were handled byoutside vendors.

Ministry of Education sector

support worker Kim Shannonsaid the ministry supported pro-viding healthy lunches for pupils.

‘‘Schools work within budgets,provided by us, therefore it is upto individual schools to decidewho they choose to provideservices directly to them.

‘‘Companies who directlyapproach us for business areencouraged to correspond directlywith schools.’’

The Eastern Hutt School chess team, from left Vincent Luo, Zhiheng Dai, Zac Li

and Samuel Darr, have repeated history.

Brothers have the movesABBY BROWN

Two brothers have won the samebronze medal at the same eventseven years apart

Vincent Luo and his EasternHutt School teammates ZhihengDai, Zac Li and Samuel Darr,came third in the primary schoolsection of the New ZealandInterschool National Chess Finalin September.

In 2009 Vincent’s older brotherBrian, with his team consisting ofJoshua Brearton, Vikas Sheony,Jonathan Carruth and Ryan Leefrom the same school, won thatsame medal, at the same venue,Palmerston North Boys’ High

School.It is an annual event for pri-

mary, intermediate, andsecondary schools with winnersfrom 12 regions battling, andAuckland sending its usual fiveteams.

Both brothers’ teams werecoached by Scott Watsney, a two-time NZ chess champion and aChess Olympiad.

Vincent, Samuel, Zhiheng, Zac,Paul He and Caleb He, alsorecently won the primary schoolsection of the ChesspowerNational School Chess Tourna-ment.

Samuel is now the joint under10 year olds ‘blitz chess’ national

champion, where each player hasa total of three minutes to makeall their moves, and the under tenyear olds ‘‘rapid chess’’ nationalchampion.

Paul is the national undereight year olds ‘‘rapid chess’’champion, where each player has25 minutes to make all theirmoves.

Samuel, Caleb and Paul alsocompeted in a standard chesstournament.

They said chess ‘‘stretchesyour brains’’ and they thoughtthat had helped Vincent, Samuel,Zhiheng and Caleb win the juniorsection of a recent Mathswellcompetition.

Get happyin PetoneIf you are looking for happiness, help is at hand.

The Petone Settlers Museum is reforming its1950s Happiness Club and is looking for formermembers.

Establishing the new club was inspired by thedonation of a white table cloth embroidered withfour bluebirds, 100-odd signatures and two pinspertaining to the club.

‘‘Everything about it was just so delightful, thename in particular suggesting people comingtogether and being happy,’’ education managerand community curator, Jen Boland, said. ‘‘Wejust had to reignite it.’’

Alongside the club, the museum hasexhibitions about Jackson and Patrick Streets,Miss Hutt Valley 1968, an urban marae andCarey’s Drapery in 1954. You can also experiencethe conditions that European settlers endured toget to Petone’s shore in 1940, in a replica of a ship’ssteerage cabin.

The museum has benefited from a completedbuilding refurbishment and exhibition makeover,which coincided with its 45th birthday, as visitornumbers are up 79 per cent on last year’s wintermonths.

The last addition to the revamp was a ‘‘TVsnug’’ so visitors can watch local history footage–ensured the museum, formerly a bathing pav-ilion pavilion, can reach its goal of truly servingits community. ‘‘We’ve worked with Autism NewZealand, showcased a local drama production,hosted the Wellington College History Depart-ment and the Girl Guides.’’

Wilford School’s Choir will be performingChristmas Carols in the Hall of Memories onDecember 12 from 1-1.20pm.❚ If you know more about the original 1950sPetone Happiness Club, or have ideas forevents that you would like to join in with, getin touch with Boland:[email protected]

The quiet cul-de-sac RakshanaChandasari lives in with hisparents and two siblings inWaiwhetu is a world away fromhis native war-torn Sri Lanka.

‘‘It was hard to sleep at nightfrom the sound of the bombs,’’the winner of the Westpac HuttCity Youth Award forOvercoming Adversity said.

Despite his family fleeingfirst to Thailand in 2005, wherehe didn’t go to a proper schoolfor four years, the 18-year-oldhas developed a career in bank-ing.

‘‘The learning centre onlytaught English and we also hadto learn Thai which was hardwhen we knew we wouldn’t bein the country permanently,’’ hesaid.

Attending Hutt Valley HighSchool from 2012, where he stud-ied business studies, account-ing, maths, english and com-puters, was difficult initially.

‘‘I didn’t understand whatthe teachers were saying so Ipractised my English by ringingcustomer care lines.’’

His banking career started at16 and the ANZ service consult-ant wants to become a businessbanking manager afterfinishing his bachelor of com-merce and computing degree.

He also has made a businessof taking photos of events suchas weddings.

He wanted to thank PennyClarke at his high school, whowas a reference for his bankingjob, and Nicola Paluin at ANZwas ‘‘developing me everyweek’’.

New Zealand Immigration lethis family in as refugees, afterAmerica rejected them, and hewas also grateful to Red Crossvolunteers including MichelleWhite.

The Sri Lankan civil war,which he compared to the MaoriLand Wars between Maori andPakeha, were between twoethnicities - Tamil andSinhalese.

‘‘No-one need knowthat I’m placing alazy tenner on ahorse based purelyon the fact that I likeits name or thecolours the jockey iswearing.’’

The Race That

Stops A Nation

provides a good

reason to dress

up to the nines...

BRADEN FASTIER /

FAIRFAX NZ

MEANWHILE, OUTSIDE AUCKLAND

Our fortnight of pretending we’reall experts on horse racing is overfor another year.

New Zealand Cup Week andThe Race That Stops A Nation - orin fact two nations - provide goodreason to dress up to the ninesand indulge in some sophisticatedbinge drinking.

And once again, even thoughmy previous form at picking awinner suggests I shouldn’t, I gotcompletely sucked into the hype.

Every year I study the form

guide for the Melbourne Cup andpretend I know what I’m lookingat. It took me several years to kindof decipher what all thosenumbers actually meant.

But that old saying that a littlebit of knowledge is dangerous isquite apt on the first Tuesday inNovember - or for me, any oldrace meeting really.

So is that one about a fool andher money being easily parted.

I wait until Tuesday afternoonuntil I make my annual pilgrim-age to the TAB, where I pretendI’m totally comfortable withwhat’s going on around me.

Placing a bet?Yeah - I know exactly what I’m

doing.Totally at ease with all your

quinella and trifecta lingo.Easybets? You betcha.No-one need know that I’m

placing a lazy tenner on a horsebased purely on the fact that I likeits name or the colours the jockeyis wearing.

I never pick the favourite.It’s always one that’s a slight

outsider, but with a good run itcould go okay.

That way, I have visions atwork of winning big and what I’m

going to do with the cash all after-noon.

Then it’s a case of digging outthe fascinator I bought at the twodollar shop last year and trying tofinish work early so I can watchthe race with other poshly-attiredpeople at the local pub.

It never happens.Running late, most years I

listen to it on the radio while inthe car heading towards afore-mentioned establishment.

It’s hard to picture what’s actu-ally going on in a horse race when

you can only hear it.But you can almost guarantee

my nag has bolted in the first500m and then either fallen off thepace, or just fallen over.

Two years ago my lucky pickgot shot after crossing the finishline, the poor thing.

Sorry TAB - but my poor formin the Aussie race usually meansI’m a little bit wiser when NewZealand Cup Week comes around.

The cash stays in the wallet.Fashion In the Field is far

more entertaining.

I’d have more chance of win-ning that, and that’s saying a lotfrom a girl who’s happiest in apair of tracky-dees and a hoodie.

Despite my best efforts, itseems racing just isn’t my thing.

They’ve never, ever called myhorse’s name close to the finishline.

It’s like that lazy tenner is aticket to the knacker’s yard.❚ Rachael Kelly is a journalist whomoved from the metropolis to thecountry - and isn’t planning onmoving back.

Motorists coppingbig bills for damageMARTY SHARPE

Crashing into road signs can be an

expensive mistake.

By region (2011-now)

These regional figures tally theinvoices issued and the amountcharged.Northland: 70, $244,138Auckland:92, $643,997Waikato: 72, $480,655Bay of Plenty: 27, $109,595Gisborne/Hawke’s Bay:86,$690,882Manawatu/Whanganui/Taranaki: 45, $527,376Wellington:95, $607,214Marlborough: 19, $71,816Nelson/Tasman: 31, $311,657Canterbury/West Coast: 175,$1,500,676Otago/ Southland: 16, $114,929TOTALS: 728, $5,302,935

Motorists who have damagedroad signs or barriers, or causedroad closures, have beencharged an average of $7200 overthe past five years.

Figures released by the NZTransport Agency under theOfficial Information Act, revealthat the 728 invoices have beenissued for $5.3milliion between2011 and the year to date.

The invoices are issued torecover costs from motoristsresponsible for crashes thataffect the state highway net-work and include the cost ofrepairing damaged signs androadside equipment such asbarriers and urban designfeatures.

Invoices were also issued forthe cost of any traffic manage-ment such as road closures andclean-ups following a crash.

National manager networkdirections and performanceChris Young said the agencywas responsible for the costrecovery as manager of a publicasset and this was ‘‘the sameprinciple that applies when adriver at fault in a crash causesdamage to any property’’.

Prior to 2013 the agencyrecovered costs directly frommotorists responsible for thecrash. Since then it has beencontractors who have recoveredthe costs.

‘‘Since 2013 we have beenprogressively rolling out a new

form of maintenance and oper-ation contract known as ‘net-work outcomes contracts’. Thisroll-out is nearly complete.

‘‘Under the network out-comes contracts, contractorsseek approval from the Trans-port Agency for the costs to berecovered,’’ Young said.

NZ Insurance Councilinsurance manager John Lucassaid while it was quite normalfor the agency to charge fordamaged equipment, it was veryunusual for the agency tocharge for road closure manage-ment costs.

Lucas was aware of a case in

2013 where an injured driverwas charged for traffic manage-ment, but he had not heard of acase since.

‘‘That was unusual. Ifthere’s damage to property,then whoever the owner is theyhave a right to recover costs,often through insurance,’’ hesaid.

‘‘Power poles can be quiteexpensive. They can be morethan the vehicle accident.

‘‘The most expensive type ofloss would be a truck with anoversized load striking abridge. That can be huge, canbe millions,’’ Lucas said.

Weeds, weeds and more weeds

This column is adapted from theweekly e-zine, get growing, fromNew Zealand Gardenermagazine.For gardening advice delivered toyour inbox every Friday, sign up forGet Growing at: getgrowing.co.nz

LYNDA HALLINAN

1) EXTERMINATE WEEDS AND

FILL BARE SPOTS WITH

FLOWERS

My top crop this month? Weeds!I’m not sure if the wet spring is toblame for the increased numberof weeds in my garden, orwhether, because I’m opening it tothe public this weekend, I’msimply more aware of them.Usually, if I conduct one majorweeding operation in early springit keeps the weeds at bay untilsummer, when it’s too dry forthese opportunistic interlopers tocause too much trouble. But thisyear they just keep coming.Creeping buttercup is the worstoffender: it loves wet soil and hasspread rapidly in my lawn andpaths. That means hours on myhands and knees hooking itscreeping stems out.

Get on top of weeds now beforethey have a chance to (a) flowerand set seed and (b) compete withyour prized plants for sunlightand soil nutrition.

You can win the war on weedsif, every time you pull a weed in,

you put a desirable plant in itsplace. Why not splurge on someflowers for picking? (This is mynew picking garden, which isstarting to look spiffy!) If you’renot ready to replant afterweeding, put down a thick layer ofmulch to stop weed seedsgerminating.

2) PLANT & SOW MORE

SUMMER SALAD GREENS

My favourite spring lettuce is theIceberg-style ‘Great Lakes’, whichis just as well because the onlytime I can grow it well is in thecool of spring. In summer, it getstip burn or rots from the insideout after rain. For that reason,from now on I switch fromplanting traditional heartinglettuces to hybrid ‘Salanova’lettuces, and I sow annual rocketrather than peppery perennialrocket. Some lettuce varieties aremuch more heat-tolerant anddrought-resistant than others.When I lived in the city, thespeckled red and green ‘Canasta’(from Kings Seeds) was myfavourite, because even in mysun-trap of a front garden, it never

went bitter despite being grown inraised beds. (The soil in raisedbeds can get too hot for tenderlettuces.) If your vege garden getsvery hot and dry, it’s worthgrowing salad greens under alarge fabric cloche for a littleshade. This can slow theirtendency to bolt to to seed.Regular watering is also vital, andmulching is beneficial.

3) TAKE PHOTOS OF YOUR

GARDEN EACH SEASON

How often do you point a cameraat your plot? Not just before andafter photos of major landscapingprojects, but seasonal snaps?Taking photos is a great way torecord all the natural progress ingrowth.

It’s also amazing how muchvariation there is, year after year.This year, the huge purplerhododendron on the edge of mylawn is still in bloom, a fullfortnight later than it was lastyear. And three years ago (we hada very warm spring), my roseshad finished their first flush bynow, whereas this year they’restill in tight bud.

Stand in the same spot andtake a photo each month toremind you of what looks good atwhich time of the year (and areasneeding improvement).

I’ve made a lot of changes tomy garden this year, breaking itup into rooms and putting inmore permanent plantings in anattempt to make it less work infuture. (Or at least that was theplan!) I’ll be intrigued to see whatit looks like by summer.

4) SOW BEETROOT

Whoever it was that first thoughtto pair beetroot with goat’s cheesewas a culinary genius. It’s such adelicious combination that I’mtempted to get a nanny goat tomilk (just kidding; my husbandwould have conniptions).

We’re never short of beetrootas it’s so easy to grow from seed,and it holds well in the soil if theplants don’t get too hot. If you findyour mature beets end up sittingcompletely proud of the soil, add athick layer of mulch to cool theirheels. Regular irrigation whilethe roots are swelling isimportant too.

Sow beetroot direct, spacingthe corky clusters 5-10cm apart,and keep moist until the seedsgerminate. You can also carefullytransplant seedlings in punnets.Harvest from 8-10 weeks for babybeets for boiling or roasting, or letthem grow to the diameter of

a burger bun for preserving injars.

An arts festival will explore our relationship withwater.

The Common Ground Festival is a partnershipbetween Hutt City Council and public artproducers Letting Space and will take place fromFebruary 25 to March 4 2017 at various placesalong the Hutt river.

‘‘The aim of the festival is to bring people closerto water and the issue of water and give them asense of identity and pride,’’ an organiser, MarkAmery, said.

Some of the five commissioned art projects,created by Hutt and Wellington artists, like a largerope drawing on the banks of Hutt River, DrawingWater, explores flood projections.

Inanga Love Park is a place-making project atthe bottom of Korokoro Stream, that aims torestore an inanga (whitebait) spawning ground.

The Rising Gale is an experimental drone-shotfilm flying above river and harbour, which will bescreened at local water sites with soundtracksperformed live by local performance groups.

Wairua, Wai-rua, will use walking tours,workshops and film projections to connect com-munities in and around Waiwhetu Stream withthe stream’s whakapapa and age.

Citizen Water Map Lab will allow localresidents to test their local water and help make aglowing computerised visual map of the valley’sgroundwater.❚ Full details of the artist programme will beannounced at the launch on November 22,5.30pm, at the Dowse Art Museum in LowerHutt.

Stop burglars from ruining summer

Think about security latches on windows. PHOTO: 123RF

Summer is fast approaching and here aresome tips to keep your home secure.

Backyard banter

Neighbourly is a NZ-owned social media site creating easy ways for neighbours to talk and connect. Join us at neighbourly.co.nz or download our new iPhone and Android apps.

In a perfect world, we’d neverhave to worry about our stuffbeing stolen. But asChristmas looms and we start

planning our summer holidays,it’s important to consider theunthinkable.

According to a study carriedout earlier this year,approximately 164 burglariesoccurred every day in NewZealand in 2015, and almost 60,000went unsolved. The most commonitems that are stolen includeelectrical goods like TVs, iPads,cameras and smartphones,jewellery and watches, bicyclesand tools, so if you own any ofthese make sure you keep themsafe.

Roger Wallace, AMI generalmanager customer contact, sayssummer is a prime time forcriminals to take advantage.

‘‘Many people leave theirwindows open because it’s hot.And while we’re in another room,in the backyard or out enjoying

the sun, opportunistic thievescould be in your home takingyour stuff,’’ he says.

But while it’s a sad fact thattheft is prolific throughout muchof the country, there are a fewthings you can do to protect yourstuff should the unthinkablehappen to you.’’

LOCK UPThis might seem like a no-brainer, but always lock yourhouse before you leave, even ifyou’re just nipping down theroad. It might be tempting to keep

your windows and doors openduring summer, but think aboutinstalling security latches first. Ifyou live in a large house andspend most of your time at oneend, make sure the other end issecure; you’d be surprised at howmany burglaries happen whileresidents are at home or in thebackyard.

DON’T PUT ON A SHOWDraw your curtains or positionvaluables well away from nosyeyes, and keep expensive vehicles

and tools hidden away in yourgarage. Think about where youset your Christmas tree up too.Fairy lights shining out onto thestreet might look nice, but somight that big pile of presents.

KEEP A RECORD OF

EVERYTHING YOU OWNMake the unimaginablemanageable – just in case.Neighbourly’s Contents Locker,supported by AMI, lets you keep atrack of your belongings so if youneed to replace them, you know

what you had and what they’reworth. The Locker is free, simpleto use and totally secure. Uploadphotos, serial numbers andreceipts; you can even lodge itemsroom by room to help keepeverything organised. For moreinformation head toneighbourly.co.nz/homecontents.

GET CONTENTS INSURANCEWhile the Locker is not areplacement for a contents policy,it can help you visualise howmuch stuff you own and howmuch it’s worth – because it alladds up. If you’ve already gotcontent insurance, use the Lockerto help you work out if you’ve gotenough cover.

KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR

NEIGHBOURHOODIf you see anyone suspiciouswandering your streets, spreadthe word. If you’re new to thearea, sign up to Neighbourly andget to know your neighbourhood.The more you know about yourcommunity and the more youhave your neighbours’ backs, themore they’ll have yours too.

�ework of the Department of Corrections is interesting

community and help ofenders turn away from a life of crime.

Be the change youwish to see in the worldas a Corrections O�icer

MEETSONNYSpend any time with Sonny Whakarau and the phase

‘making a diference’ will pop up in conversation.

Sonny has worked as a Corrections O�icer for 10 years

and reckons he has the best job in the world.

“I always try to make a diference. It can be frustrating

and challenging but we need to have people who are

prepared to give it a go and help others,” says Sonny.

He admits Corrections O�icers work with di�icult

people, but the intensive training teaches the skills

needed to help manage ofenders. “The job will

challenge you but we’re here to make a diference.”

Sonny currently works as a Recreation Activities

Adviser, although over the past decade he has worked

in every unit. He joined Corrections after travelling

the world and says it has provided a professional and

challenging career.

“Overall, it’s a great career. It suits my lifestyle. I’m

very sporty and the job gives me a great work, life and

family balance.”

Coping withwork stress

Keep your emails short and only check them twice a day - this will free up time

for you to get on with work.

Your healthWITH AUTHOR AND NUTRITIONAL BIOCHEMIST DR LIBBY

I’ve just taken a new job and itis a lot more stressful than myprevious role. I’ve noticed thatI’ve become a bit of a rushingwoman (due to a number ofother factors). Any words ofadvice to help this? Thanks,Sarah.

Hi Sarah. I’m sure manypeople can relate to this. Thereare a number of useful strategiesyou can employ to help you withthis transition, but here are a fewyou may find helpful.

Keep your emails conciseand if possible check themtwice a day

You might decide to think toyourself: ‘‘I refuse to allow myemails to take over my life’’. Or ‘’’make a commitment to checkthem once in the morning andonce in the afternoon – and that’sit’’. The reason being that many ofus can work from our email inboxas opposed to working onimportant work that we reallyneed to be investing our time and

energy into. It can also be reallyhelpful to keep your emails asbrief as possible. With the amountof communication received in themodern world, this will save youso much time.

Disconnect from technology(whenever and if possible)

I believe a lot of us struggle tofind balance in our lives due to afeeling of being constantlyconnected. You may even findyourself mindlessly scrollingthrough your phone or tablet,even when you’re at home. Switchyour phone to airplane mode foran hour or two each day. This willgive you some space to rejuvenateand allow you get things doneefficiently.

Put your legs up the wallFocus on bringing more calm

to your nervous system – andmore attention to your breath. Agreat way to help you breathediaphragmatically is to lay onyour back with your legs up thewall. Lie in this position for 5-10

minutes and focus on your breath.Place a folded towel under yourback or bottom for support if youlike. Take 10 minutes to fullyrelax into this pose, it’s especiallyrestorative with some soothingmusic.

My flatmate is obsessed withraw, sweet recipes, she wouldprobably make around 4-5different recipes a week. Is thatreally healthy for you? Thanks,Millie.

Hi Millie. When talking about

food, I don’t believe theconversation should necessarilyrevolve around whethersomething is ‘‘healthy’’ for us ornot, it should be whether that foodoffers us nutrition or not.

As awareness is growingaround the impact of refinedsugar on our health, more andmore people are transitioninginto raw, vegan or less refinedsugar, sweet options.

As a result, there has beenhuge growth in raw, sweetrecipes, as they tend to use more

nourishing sweeteners such asdates or maple syrup. I think theemerging popularity of thesedesserts have a huge cross-overwith this growing awareness ofthe impact of refined sugar and amovement towards eating morereal foods.

As many people love sweetfood it’s a great way to remindpeople that eating more real foodisn’t just about salads and greensmoothies and that you actuallydon’t have to go without yourfavourite foods. However, as withanything you can overdo it. Maplesyrup, dates and other naturalsweeteners often used in theseraw desserts still contain sugars,so these recipes are still best usedin moderation. They are simplymore nutrient-dense options.❚ Dr Libby is a nutritionalbiochemist, best-selling authorand speaker.

Book throws spotlight on college rugbyNICHOLAS BOYACK

Inoke Afeaki is arguably St Bernard’s most well known player. He played for the Hurricanes and Tonga and is currently coaching in Singapore.

If you want to work out why theAll Blacks dominate world rugbyyou can find the answer at schoolslike St Bernard’s College.

Although it has only producedone All Black, the late JohnDougan, St Bernard’s has pro-duced players who have gone onto play club or first-class rugby.

Teams such as the Hurricanesand All Blacks would not survivewithout the talent produced inschools throughout New Zealand.

One of the curiosities of thegame in New Zealand is thatschoolboy rugby does not get thecoverage it deserves.

Former St Bernard’s playerand coach Mark Keating has setabout doing something about thatby writing 70 Years of Rugby 19462016.

The book contains a section onevery year starting in 1946, whenSt Bernard’s was still a primaryschool.

That year they sent two teamsto play Marist Miramar in Wel-lington.

In 1952 with the introduction ofa third form, St Bernard’s Collegeplayed its first game downing StPatricks Wellington 14-3.

St Bernard’s fielded its firstfirst fifteen in 1957.

Their breakthrough year camein 1960 when they won the MaristQuadrangular Tournament andbeat Naenae College at Naenae forthe first time.

Over the next five decades StBernard’s was consistentlyamong the top schools in Welling-ton, winning three Wellingtontitles and producing players who

went on to play for Wellington.Two players, Inoke Afeaki and

Joe Filemu, have played for theHurricanes.

International players includeEarl Va’a, Ati Olive and AugustCollins (Samoa) and Villiami

Moala who played for Romania.St Bernard’s also has a proud

record in rugby league.Kiwi Ben Matulino is their

most well known league player.Other high profile players includeIsaac Luke, Sam Tagataese and

Sione Katoa.Keating who coached the first

fifteen said he had always beenaware that the school knew littleabout its rugby history.

He spent three years onresearch but notes there are gaps.

Finding all the players who haverepresented provinces other thanWellington proved difficult.❚ 70 Years of Rugby 1946 2016costs $25. To order a copy con-tact Nicola Graham at the col-lege [email protected]

ABs, Hansen world beaters

Steve Hansen, world rugby coach of

the year.

STAFF REPORTER

The All Blacks have won WorldRugby’s team of the year awardand Steve Hansen has taken outthe 2016 coach of the year accol-ade.

London.It was a fitting reward for Han-

sen, who missed out on the awardlast year to Australia’s MichaelCheika despite coaching the AllBlacks to a second consecutiveRugby World Cup title.

Captain Kieran Read alsoaccepted the world team of theyear award to cap his first fullseason in charge after replacingRichie McCaw.

All Blacks Ardie Savea andAnton Lienert-Brown were beatento the breakthrough player of the

year award by impressive Englishlock Maro Itoje. Itoje got the nodat the awards ceremony inLondon on Monday after playinga key role in his team’s SixNations tournament win andunbeaten season.

In other awards, South Africa’sSeabelo Senatla, who scored 66tries in 2016, is the men’s sevensplayer of the year.

Australia’s Olympic Gamesgold medallist Charlie Caslickwon the women’s sevens player ofthe year award after playing a key

role in their successful Rio andWorld Sevens series campaigns.

Whistleblowers AlhambraNievas (Spain) and RastaRasivhenge (South Africa) havejointly won the referee of the yearaward, edging out established testreferees Jerome Garces (France)and Jaco Peyper (South Africa).

A little over a week afterwatching his beloved Ireland beatthe All Blacks for the first time,Irish rugby stalwart Syd Millar,82, picked up the Vernon PughAward for distinguished service.

Combat champ holds down four jobsCHELSEA MCLAUGHLIN

Gentiane Lupi is heading to Singapore this week to fight for the World Boxing Association Oceania Title, then two weeks after that she will switch codes back to

Muay Thai to take on Australia’s top ranked fighter in Melbourne. PHOTO: ROSS GIBLIN/FAIRFAX NZ

Gentiane Lupi has three children,works four jobs and fights in fourdifferent combat disciplines, butshe’s adamant she still has time tosleep.

Lupi heads to Singapore thisweek, where she will take on theirtop ranked fighter, NurshahidahRoslie, for the World BoxingAssociation Oceania female superfeatherweight title.

She will then come back homefor 10 days of intense Muay Thaitraining before heading to Aust-ralia to take on the very tall, veryexperienced world championLucy Payne.

She also won the World MuayThai Council lightweight nationalbelt, her eighth belt, in Sept-ember.

Lupi says she is lucky to beable to train for both disciplineswith coach Mark Hampton at Wel-lington’s Muay Thai Institute, butthe switch is still difficult.

‘‘It’s pretty different trainingfor both,’’ she says.

It takes a few minutes to adjustback from one to the other: ‘‘Youjust get hit a bit more before youremember.’’

She has also fought in mixedmartial arts and kickboxing.

Lupi trains every day in theleadup to a fight, but says sheusually will take the day as itcomes.

‘‘I just train as much as I canaround everything, I don’t planahead too much.’’

Her kids often come to train-ing, which is a good way to put inthe hard work needed while alsospending time with them, shesays.

She feels confident about herupcoming fights.

‘‘I’m very confident, but everyfight you train for has got to be

the hardest you’ve trained forotherwise you’ll get a nastyshock,’’ she says.

‘‘It will be a very intense 10days changing from boxing toMuay Thai, with a very specificgame plan because of [Payne’s]height.’’

Lupi is 41, and has only beenfighting for about four years.

She used to be an actor, withroles in films like Eagle vs Sharkand Second Hand Wedding.

She says she never saw herselffighting because of her age, butshe has invested a lot into it and

can’t justify stopping.‘‘I walked into the gym when I

was just a baby of 36.’’And since then she has put a

lot of time and effort into thesport, she says.

‘‘I just like that it’s always chal-lenging and that you always have

so much to learn: It’s always frus-trating ... You can never be per-fect.’’

She admits she is busy, but ‘‘Istill have time to stare blankly outthe window’’, she says.

‘‘No one’s life is really normalonce you start to dissect it.

Rachin Ravindra aiming for FirebirdsNICHOLAS BOYACK

‘‘His name is acombination of twoIndian legends,Rahul Dravid andSachin Tendulkar.’’

Rachin Ravindra is playing club cricket to try and break into the Firebirds. He will play for Hutt International Boys, when it defends the Gillette Cup.

Rachin Ravindra is a cricketingname to remember.

The 16 year-old came toprominence at the Under 19 WorldCup in Bangladesh in February.

In a New Zealand team thatperformed poorly, Rachin, whohad only just turned 16, was thetop wicket taker and scored somehandy runs. He was subsquentlynamed the New Zealand Cricket’sYoung Player of the Year.

Rachin also helped Hutt Inter-national Boys win the highlyprized Gillette Cup and at thenational under 19 tournament, hescored 330 runs.

Such is his prowess, Welling-ton Cricket gave him a dispen-sation to play club cricket for HuttDistricts as he attempts to earnselection for the WellingtonFirebirds.

His idol is another cricketerwho made his name as a 16 year-old. ’’My batting idol is SachinTendulkar. I have modelled mygame on him since I was veryyoung.’’

Rachin is not letting success goto his head. Cricket, he said, couldbe a cruel game and you wereonly as good as your last innings.
