Pool reopens

www.wsn.co.nz

By Dan Whit� eld

The doors have reopened at Johnsonville’s Keith Spry Pool following ten months of major renovations.

Keen swimmers and families joined in and made a splash, while checking out the new renovations that are the fi rst major improvements since the complex opened in 1982.

Pool manager Matt Kilgour says: “Keith Spry has provided a long standing service for the Johnsonville community and these renovations have resulted in a facility the community can be proud of.”

“I am very excited to see the community enjoying the new pool,” he says.

Swimmers rejoice after pool reopens

By Dan Whitfi eld

A new state-of-the-art accom-modation complex on Boulcott Street has opened and will en-hance the overall experience of students attending Victoria University.

The Katharine Jermyn Hall was converted from an offi ce block into a fully catered, 390-bed hall that will primarily ac-commodate domestic fi rst-year students studying at either the Kelburn campus or ones located in the central city.

Opened by chancellor Sir Nev-ille Jordan, the hall becomes its 11th hall of residence in Welling-ton. It is named after a former staff member who made major contributions to the university for over 40 years.

“Opening this new facility also emphasises the vital role Victoria plays in the capital city,” Neville says.

While the hall of residence is full already, Neville says it is

important that students coming to Wellington are looked after which is why there are other buildings to come.

University vice-chancellor professor Grant Guilford says the students who will be settling in at Katharine Jermyn Hall will be joined by two-and-a-half thousand other fi rst year students for the start of the 2015 academic year.

“Our 20,000 students and 2,500 staff help make the city vibrant and diverse,” Grant says.

Each of the 14 fl oors of Kathar-ine Jermyn Hall has communal facilities and bedrooms that are fully furnished and heated and many also have stunning views of the city.

“With the Kelburn, Pipitea and Te Aro campuses only a short walk away and the city centre only a few steps away, residents of this Hall couldn’t be better situated,” Grant says.

Katharine Jermyn Hall was opened on February 19.

Continued from page 2New changing rooms have

been added to the facility, along with a dedicated teaching and children’s pool. A new roof was also installed.

Councillor Helene Ritchie says the upgrade is “absolutely fabulous.”

“It’s a wonderful addition to the recreation facilities for the Northern suburbs with the new play areas for littlies, and the additional learn to swim opportunities for children,” Cr Ritchie says.

Annette Ellis, a resident on neighbouring Rotoiti Street,

signed up for updates right from the start.

“I think the project was man-aged well and it is much brighter and more modern looking. It’s defi nitely going to be great for the children and young fami-lies,” Annette says.

At this stage the pool redevel-

opment is set to complement a number of changes including the collocation of the library.

While comments from the public seemed to be positive about the renovations, concerns from pool users seemed to focus around how cold the main pools still were.

As submissions come to a close on the Local Government Commission’s proposal to create a ‘super city’ in Wellington, a survey has found weak support for the current plan.

In December, the commission released a draft report into the future of local Government around the region and proposed the biggest reforms in a more than a decade.

The commission proposed one unitary authority – Greater Wellington Council – which would replace the current nine councils in the region, including the Wellington City and Greater Wellington Regional councils.

Wellington City Council com-missioned a Nielsen survey of 1000 people to guide them through their own submission to the LGC. This was conducted during February.

Across the region, the survey showed that support of the LGC’s proposal, to create a two-tier governing structure for the region, was at 26 per cent.

Within the region, support for change is the highest within Wellington City with 30 per cent supporting an amalgamation.

Meanwhile, support is lowest in the Wairarapa with 17 per cent and the Hutt Valley with

Super city plan ‘doomed to fail’

SUPPORT LOW: A new survey has shown weak support for the idea of a Wellington super-city. PHOTO: Sam Duff

18 per cent.Porirua and Kapiti had 29 per

cent of respondents support the proposal.

However, the survey shows that an alternative model, which had a separate Wairarapa coun-cil and one or more metro councils, would have the support of 50 per cent of respondents.

The survey has a margin of er-ror of plus or minus 3.1 per cent

Ohariu MP Brett Hudson strongly believes that the deci-

sion should not be just saying yes or no, and should include everyone.

He says the right thing will be to listen to the people – whether they want a super city or not, it needs to go to a referendum.

Mayor Celia Wade-Brown also says the survey shows the proposal is ‘doomed to fail’ if it is put to a regional referendum.

In a Greater Wellington Re-gional Council meeting last week, a push to withdraw their

support for a super city was narrowly defeated.

Wellington City Council met for two hours on Wednesday evening to discuss the wording of its submission to the LGC. It has called for the LGC to reconsider its recommendation. Do you support having one Greater Wellington Council instead of the current nine in the region? Email [email protected] and let us know what you think.

A new hub space is being welcomed by students and staff at Onslow College.

Building of the replacement student centre started in term four last year after the old one was knocked down.

Staff at the school say the hub will be ideal for students, and will create a space where they can study or hangout.

The building itself will be an L-shape and will be

located across the courtyard, opposite the school offi ce.

It will have an open space in the middle, and a canteen at one end of the building.

The new centre will be well used with the school now boasting just over 1200 students, with 230 being new year nines.

Work is progressing well and should be open later this year.

New hub for Onslow studentsTHE HUB: Students will soon be taking advantage of the new school hub at Onslow College.

Fundraisers underwayThe Johnsonville Lions Club has had

a busy start to 2015, with a number of events ticked off the list and still more to come.

Members were collecting at the recent CentrePort open day, raising $3000 for Wellington Free Ambulance. In coming weeks, members will be helping their Silverstream counterparts at a regional truck show, as well as helping out in Johsonville at West Park School's annual West Fest event.

The club has set its focus on fundrais-ing $20,000 for the Gillies McIndoe Research Institute over the next few years.

High numbers in Johnsonville

Work and Income are fighting to maintain high levels of unemployment around the Northern suburbs.

There are about 750 residents regis-tered as unemployed in Johnsonville alone. Despite this, all are actively seeking employment.

A spokesperson for the Johnsonville Work and Income branch says while the individuals do not have jobs, they are trying to source employment. The only thing is that the work just is not out there.

Work and Income staff see this as a major issue in the community are com-mitted to decreasing the number of people that are unable to secure work.

In 2016, the goal is to have the number sitting at 650 or less.

A hands-on approach to learn-ing has had a growth spurt in the last fi ve years for Makara Model School and their gardens.

The gardens are an important part of the school culture, and Principal Gail Dewar says the children get so much knowledge out of planting and growing.

In recent years, the community has jumped on board by donat-ing time, resources, and knowl-edge to building the school gardens, including a council donation of compost bins and worm farms.

“The gardens involve the chil-dren in their environment, and get parents involved,” Gail says.

“It really builds the com-

munity.”Gail says the students and

staff at the school get a lot of enjoyment and satisfaction out of the gardens.

“It’s really good for the chil-dren to see where their food comes from. They’re allowed to help themselves to carrots, tomatoes, strawberries, beans, or anything in the garden.

“The kids know where they all are, we have blueberries dotted around too.”

Gail says the school would love to get plum trees or apple trees next, so they can grow more fruit.

All the children have duties at the school, whether it is taking out the rubbish or watering the gardens, and Gail says the

Gardens sprout for school learning

gardens have taken off since local parent Jen Pudney started helping.

The gardens create great gifts too, and Gail says that last year

the children made grew bulbs of daffodils in small pots to give to their mothers for Mother’s Day.

With more than 200 students turning up to the auditions last week, Queen Margaret College girls are hoping this year’s Stage Challenge competition will be a great one.

Three senior students are in charge of running the college’s fi rst performance in a number of years, and will be joining over 200 schools around the country to compete.

Performing Arts prefect Milly Schwarz, dancer Brittany Eng, and props and costume guru Charlie van Boheemen say they are very excited to get every girl in the school involved in some way – whether it be dancing, lighting or sound, props and set, or costumes.

“A lot of people think Stage Challenge is just for dancers, and so they don't get involved because they think, ‘I can't dance.’ But it's not – it’s a performance,” says Brittany, who is in charge of the dance and performance aspect of the college’s entry.

Brittany says the college is

entering the Open Division, meaning they start with a blank space and have to fi ll it with props and sets.

“It’s something we’ve been looking at doing for a few years now,” she says.

Milly says a goal that the girls have while running their perfor-mance entry is school unity.

“So many girls can get involved, whether it’s dancing or behind the scenes. It’s for everyone, and that’s the great thing about it – it caters to so many areas.”

Milly also says that taking part in Stage Challenge is a great way to show the school's diversity.

Charlie says one of the best things about being involved in the competition is that it is fully student-run, with a teacher-in-charge who oversees their leadership.

Each school’s performance must be between six and eight minutes, and the girls say train-ing started last week.

Brittany, Milly, and Charlie agree that taking part in the competition is a great thing for school pride.

COMPETITION TIME: Queen Margaret College girls Brittany Eng, Milly Schwarz, and Charlie van Boheemen, with teacher-in-charge Paula Prouse, are preparing their Stage Challenge entry.

Wellington City Councillors have made a show of support for urgent safety improvements to a notorious Karori blackspot.

The intersection of Raroa Rd and Chaytor St has been the scene of a number of serious car-on-bike col-lisions, the most recent occurring last week.

Supporters of Karori by Bike, a community initiative working to improve cycle and vehicle safety in the area, met councillors Andy Foster, Sarah Free, Simon Woolf, and Jo Coughlan at the intersection during rush hour last Friday to discuss the recent incident.

"What I viewed this morning was quite shocking," says Cr Simon Woolf.

"It is a fatality waiting to happen. Signage, and user friendly engi-neering needs to occur, and without any doubt," he says.

Karori has seen a 59 per cent increase in cycling commuters over the last few years, and the commu-nity group has formed to advocate for measures to increase safety in the suburb for all road users.

Karori by Bike spokesperson Megan Hubscher says: "In the space of 20 minutes this morning, we witnessed three cyclists danger-ously cut off by drivers changing lanes."

"Another cyclist was forced to

Karori blackspot shocks city councillors

swerve to avoid pedestrians in the shared bus/bike lane, and then seconds later had to avoid a car. Two cyclists had to shout to get the attention of drivers who hadn’t seen them," she says.

Karori has four primary schools on the main road, and with a 59 per cent increase in people getting to work by bike, Megan says it is clear that there is need of some serious investment in getting around our suburb safely.

"Otherwise it's only a matter of time before we're looking at a much

more serious incident than broken bones."

Karori by Bike urges the council to take immediate steps to improve this intersection for all road users, and to give serious consideration to the changing patterns of road use throughout the suburb and Wellington.

"People in cars shouldn't have to make split-second decisions that pit their vehicle against a bike, and people on bikes shouldn't have ride like everyone is out to kill them,” Megan says.

Plunket's Annual 'Bear Hug' Ap-peal kicked off this week, and volunteers have been getting out and about to raise funds for local and regional services.

Fundraising efforts have been

happening in a range of different ways – from Teddy Bear picnics where people can make a donation, to street collections with mascot Big Blue.

Plunket's free home and clincic vis-

Sunday 8th March

By Dan Whit� eld

Students from Churton Park have become the 88th group in New Zealand to receive the gift of free electricity.

Four solar panels were in-stalled on the roof of Churton Park School at the end of last year thanks to a partnership between the Genesis Energy Schoolgen programme and

Wellington City Council.Deputy principal Di Patchett

says it is an absolute delight to become more environmentally friendly, with the idea to now see how much power has been saved.

Each panel – two from Genesis Energy and two from council (with help from the school’s board of trustees) – generates 2 kilowatt of electricity which

is fed into the resources to help power everything around the school.

“This is an important part of our journey…We want to embed this way of thinking into the curriculum and so students can learn to be more environmen-tally friendly,” Di says.

Di says the school is quite holistic in its approach, with the aim to see students understand

why it is important to save power.

The school has a number of projects on the go to help it maintain an environmental status including a recycling pro-gramme, compost bin, vegetable garden, and reminders on all lights to turn them off.

While partnerships between council and Genesis Energy are key, Di says having students

interested and actively thinking about saving the environment is most important.

“We want to embed this way of thinking into our students.”

Getting more panels in the future could also be a possibility for the school.

Schoolgen’s Maggie Twaddle attended the school last week and, taught them about generat-ing and saving power.

Friday provided parents, teachers with an excellent way to teach the children of Johnsonville Playcentre about ‘good, clean fun’.

Co-president Sangita Leach says what better way to get them all out side and teach them about the play centre’s theme for this term.

“It’s also a great way to get the community involved,” she says.

A day out was planned and organised in conjunction with national children’s day and play centre awareness week. The event at Grasslees Reserve in Tawa saw students, parents, and teachers all enjoy themselves.

This weekend the play centre will also be having an open day, following on with the theme ‘good clean fun’. The open day will be held at the play centre between 9.30am and 11am on Saturday.

CAR BOOT SALE Churton Park New World Car Park, Sunday 22nd March 1-4 pm. $10 per car park. For further info call Richard 4785188 or email [email protected]

It has been 10 years since the Hihi (Stitchbird) was reintroduced into mainland New Zealand, and all month long the native bird has been celebrated at Zealandia.

Hihi were extinct from the wild for 120 years until 2005 when 60 Hihi were transferred from Tiritiri Matangi Island to the ecosanctuary, which was at the time called Karori

Hihi celebrated as nativesWildlife Sanctuary.

February marked the 10-year anniversary of the reintroduction.

Hihi were once common through-out the North Island, Great Barrier, Hauturu (Little Barrier Island), Kapiti and possibly other Northern islands, however had become extinct in mainland New Zealand and most offshore islands by 1883, surviving only on Hauturu.

Today the population of Hihi at Zealandia exceeds 100 adult birds with over 100 fl edglings produced last season.

While this thriving population is a sign of success for the project, dispersal over the Zealandia fence still remains a risk, with Hihi extremely vulnerable to introduced pests such as rats, stoats, and cats.MR NATIVE: Hihi (Stitchbird) in the bush. PHOTO: Janice McKenna.

Funds from the Samuel Marsden Collegiate School gala are set to help with a rebuild of the main classroom block, a project that director of de-velopment Martine Foster is excited about.

While the gala happens every two years, people can expect to see the same high standard which has become a tradition at events run by the school over the years.

Martine says the school is delighted to bring the gala back to the public once again and is pleased it can still bring the community together.

“This is truly a community effort organised by our parents association and involves our whole school – par-ents and students alike,” Martine says.

Funds raised on the day will be used

for the rebuild of the school’s main block which set to begin in May.

Martine says in the past they have been a wonderful success – including the last gala held in 2013.

The gala is famous in the area for its number of food, designer and second hand clothing, sweet and cake stalls.

This year the gala will also have a house and garden stall, with activities and games running throughout the day for children.

Co-conveners of the event are Nicola McFaull, president of the association, and Nicky Reed.

The gala is being held at the school on Sunday, March 8, between 11am and 2pm.

Martine says the school will be thrilled to see the community attend.

The Karori Association wants to hear what the public thinks about recent Wellington City Council sug-gestions that will affect the local community.

As an association representing the suburb, chairwoman Lesleigh Salinger says it would like to solicit the views and suggestions of residents so that it can make timely representations to the council and its offi cers.

The controversy comes after Karori

was identifi ed as a possible growth zone with Wellington City Council investigating whether more multi-storey housing could be squeezed into the suburb.

Council is also reviewing the shop-ping precincts, and considering traffi c management issues – such as speed management, bicycle lanes, and public transport.

In a recent article by the Independent Herald, members of the public were questioned about whether they agreed with the plan.

Resident Bradley Gallen stressed his opinion over how infrastructure should be a must, as it "can take 40 minutes to leave Karori as it is." He was also genuinely curious as to where council planned to put the new houses.

A survey has been prepared by the association, and Lesleigh says she is eager to have a response from the community.

The association is advising residents to put thought into a number of matters concerning the suburb, and email comments to chair@karoriassocia-

tion.nz. She asks people to consider and

respond to points including hous-ing density, traffi c, speed limits, and schools.

Its next step will be to collate the responses and report these back to the public.

“Some items may need further discussion and many of you will have great ideas that no-one has thought of. So please let us have your feedback,” Lesleigh says.

A night of enjoying the sounds of a concert series in the Wellington Botanic Garden has come to the delight of Sue Faure and her husband Allan, recently winning their own slice of magic.

The prize was part of the Meridian Gar-den’s Magic concert series – a fabulous event for the whole family, as well as promoting up-and-coming artists, and bringing energy to the people of Wellington.

As a sponsor of the series, Meridian Energy was giving a lucky member of the public a chance to win their own Magic Garden.

“I was actually at work when they called me…It’s really awesome and has made our little space really pretty,” Sue says.

The Churton Park residents were pleased because it was a great way to spruce up their small garden area.

The prize pack included an outdoor table and chairs, as well as a number of pots and planters, and solar-powered light sets. They

also received a $250 Twigland Gardeners World voucher which has spurred them on to get into the garden.

“We went along on the Saturday, and I had only read about the competition the night before…Two weeks later they called me and said we’d won,” Sue says.

“I’ve never won anything before so this is really nice.”

While Sue and Allan rent their home, the items in their garden and outside space are things that they can now take on to their future homes.

“It does make the place a lot nicer, and because we rent it’s nice to not have to spend money doing up other people’s gardens,” Sue says.

“We have a family and everything we won was on our list but not necessarily of top priority,” Allan says.

The next project on the list at the Faure home is a lavender garden and potentially a portable planter box.

Good Clean Fun for children and their parents!

Every week families come together at Playcentres around Wellington for good, clean fun with their children.

This week Playcentre is encouraging local families to come join in the fun. Playcentre Awareness Week is celebrated in March each year to promote the value of parent-led early education and community involvement.

“Parenting is the most important job any person will do in their life” said Playcentre Federation Co-president Marion Pilkington. “Playcentre provides a community network, plus free parent education, to help parents do this job as well as they can. We put our resources into building families, who then move out and strengthen their communities.”

Playcentre provides high quality early child-hood education and a community experience. Children from birth to school-age attend part-day sessions with their parent or caregiver, with older pre-schoolers able to have some independent sessions.

“At Playcentre children and their families play and learn together, developing skills and relationships that last a lifetime” said Playcentre Federation Co-President, Viv Butcher. “We encourage all families to come along and join in the experience.”Playcentres off er three free visits. Several

centres are also running special open days this week – visit www.facebook.com/Wel-lingtonPlaycentreAssociation for details.

Active Feet Podiatry at Level 2, 85 The Terrace, Wellington

(opposite Solnet House and Aurora Terrace).

Wellington city welcomes back the biggest arts festival in New Zealand for young people.

Eleven New Zealand and international productions, one mini Film Festival, fi ve world premieres, 169 performances, over 18,000 students anticipated to attend the Festival through their schools, and 4,000 young people and family members expected to attend public performances; now in its seventh outing, the Capital E National Arts Festival makes a much-anticipated return to the Wellington cultural calendar.

Showcasing productions from all over the globe, the Festival opens on Saturday 7 March with the New Zealand premiere of Caterpillars, by Paris-based Kiwi Thomas Monckton and Finland’s Kallo Collective, and begins three weekends of fantastic productions for Wel-lington audiences.

Following a hugely successful season at the 2014 New Zealand Festival, Australia’s seminal circus ensemble, Circa, presents the New Zealand premiere of Carnival of the Animals, the fi rst of three Australian companies taking

part in this year’s Festival. Including six New Zealand companies, this

coming Festival is certainly a celebration of home-grown talent.

Following an award-winning season of Duck, Death & the Tulip at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Little Dog Barking Theatre returns in 2015 with a new adaptation of the children’s book, Guji Guji. Other Festival favourites like Java Dance, explore the magic beneath our feet in Dirt & Other Delicious Ingredients.

Especially for education audiences, Java Dance presents its second world premiere of the Festival with the exhilarating and interactive Streets of Gold, while the mini Film Festival, Young & Cinematic, is brought to you by Capi-tal E Digital and Square Eyes - New Zealand Children’s Film Foundation. Also from Capital E, the National Theatre for Children brings the much-celebrated An Awfully Big Adventure back to the Wellington stage, transporting audi-ences to WWI, where we learn of two young men and how their very different stories collide on Flanders Fields.

Dr Halpine of Active Feet Podiatry can help early walkers start out right.

Many 2 and 3 year olds complain of tired legs and want to be carried.

Often these complaints relate to fl at feet. Have your child's feet checked and see your

children enjoy comfortable confi dent walking.Dr Halpine also has words of advice for

parents selecting children’s shoes. When a child reaches age 3 they need shoes

that have fi rm soles.

The shoe can, and should, be fl exible in the ball of the foot but fi rm through the arch and heel.

Many children, particularly boys around age 11, suffer pain in the heel after sporting activities.

These pains are usually due to a condition called Sever’s.

This condition responds to supportive insoles called orthotics, rest, and stretching exercises.

A cluster of swimmers from Karori and Tawa swimming clubs have left a national event with heads held high and med-als around their necks.

The 2015 Swimming New Zealand Junior Championships were held at the Wellington Regional Aquatic Centre in Kilbirnie recently, with Karori and Tawa swimmers boasting wins in most races.

Karori’s Tilly Dassanayake, 10, claimed the gold medal in the 50 metre backstroke, while silver went to Jessica Read, 11, and bronze to Sean Register, 12. Sean also got a silver medal in the 100m backstroke.

Twelve-year-old Joel Cramp-ton from Johnsonville, swim-ming for Tawa, managed to win the 100m and 200m butterfl y

events and placed third in the 50m race.

Joel also got a silver medal in the 200m individual medley race and was in both the Wel-lington boys relay teams.

Katie Helm, 12, was also swimming for Tawa and main-tained her form throughout the championships to record a personal best in the 200m butterfl y – lifting her into third place and a bronze medal.

Her 200m but ter f ly t ime of 2:46.11s qualifies her for the New Zealand Age Group Championships in May 5-9.

Joel and Sean have also quali-fi ed for the May championships, with Sean set to compete in backstroke and Joel to compete in butterfl y, individual medley, backstroke, and freestyle.

Wellington City Council has approved funding of $1.45 mil-lion for a new sports and commu-nity facility at Alex Moore Park.

The Alex Moore Development, better known as the Sportsville project, was founded about seven years ago by a group of local residents and sports clubs that had become concerned about the state of the area’s degraded facilities.

Alex Moore Park Sport and Community (AMPSC) board chairman Hadyn Smith says this is an important milestone for both the board and the sports clubs involved, and brings this

exciting new project another step closer for the communities within the Northern suburbs.

The aim of the project would be to create a facility that would support the park and act as a community hub for not just the local sports clubs, but schools, groups and businesses as well.

“It refl ects the wants and needs of the community. It’s going to be something we want to see everyone using,” Haydn says.

All up the building is set to cost about $5m to build, but funding from the council has given the project a valuable kick in the right direction.

The project will see the build-ing occupy 2,200 square metres

of Alex Moore Park, above the new carpark on Bannister Avenue.

The facility will incorporate a full size gymnasium, meeting rooms and function areas and is confi gured to cater for a large variety of sporting, recreation and community use.

As part of the project, the football clubrooms on Phillip Street, along with the cricket hub already at Alex Moore Park will be demolished with funds going into the facility. Teams will be moved into the facility also.

Haydn believes there are more than 2000 players across the range of sports on offer in the Northern suburbs; one reason why he believes it will help clubs continue and grow.

“There are not too many clubs like this. It’s sensible…It will be more than adequate.”

Deputy Mayor Justin Lester says the goal will be to have it operational as soon as possible but a completion date has been set in 2017.

“It will be largely used by sports clubs but we are pleased it will be a community hub as well…It’s the future. It’s basi-cally common sense as there is power in numbers and hopefully it will encourage more people into sport,” he says.

The new complex will comple-ment the artifi cial sports turf which has was construction on Northern fi eld at Alex Moore park last year.

West Park School's inaugural gala was held over the weekend, with the community summing the day up as a success. The festival – dubbed West Fest – was originsed to celebrate its school’s children and its wealth of cultures that make up its community.
