For Kentilal Patel, volunteer work is in his blood, so he is always keen to lend a helping hand.

The Maupuia resident, known to locals as Ken, has spent the last 55 years serving his community in any way he can.

Over the last five decades, the 75-year-old has worked in various government departments, served as a Justice of the Peace and a marriage celebrant. He has been an advocate for others in the community, assisted new immigrants and served on community patrol groups.

His numerous efforts have not gone without recogni-tion – the community stalwart has a haul of medals and awards.

These include a New Zealander of the Year – Local Hero Award, Safety in the City Award, Absolutely Positively Wellingtonian Award and New Zealander of the Year – Senior New Zealander of the Year Certifi cate. Continued on page 2

Wellingtonians have cheaper weekend bus fares to look forward to next month.

For four weeks from Novem-ber 28, Go Wellington buses will change to a $1 fare for one zone of travel and $2 adult fare and $1.50 fare for children for two or three zones of travel.

It is hoped this will encour-age people to use public trans-port to travel in and out of the city.

The Wellington City Council has budgeted $200,000 for the initiative.

Wellington Mayor Celia Wade-Brown said the public transport initiative would help to get more Wellingtonians onto buses and into the central city during the busy weekends in the run-up to Christmas.

“This initiative will provide

How do you feel about lower weekend fares on Wellington buses? Are you more likely to use public transport with these lower fares? Send us an email – [email protected]

a welcome boost for retail sales.”

Councillor Iona Pannett, Chair of Wellington City Council’s Environment Com-mittee, said the cheaper bus

fares bring multiple benefi ts to the city.

“This shows support for an environmentally sustainable travel option for people who want to go shopping in the

central city and don’t want to have to worry about conges-tion or parking time limits.

“Wellington City Council fi rst proposed this initiative in February this year and I’m thrilled that it’s going ahead in time for Christmas.”

The cheaper fares can be paid by cash or with a Snap-per card. The changes will be in effect from beginning of service on Saturday, Novem-ber 28, each weekend through to the last service on Sunday, December 20.

Continued from page 1Nicola said blood donors were very

special.“We always need more donors. Cur-

rently only four per cent of the eligible population donates blood.

“If you are part of the 96 per cent cur-rently sat on the fence thinking about it, please jump off and join in.

Nicola asked people to think of the “bigger picture” and said one donation could save three lives.

“Think of all the little children who have leukaemia who your blood is able to save… you’ve got to go beyond yourself and think of who your donation could save.

“You’re helping ultimately to save people’s lives and make a difference.”

The New Zealand Blood Service was also hoping to have more people sign up for plasma donations, Nicola said.

This year 240 people have donated plasma, however the blood service was hoping to reach 500 donations by the

end of the year.Plasma was used to make around 13

different medicines and because of this the demand for plasma had increased “hugely”, Nicola said.

“You have to have given at least one blood donation in the last two years before you can become a plasma donor.”

Plasma is collected using an apheresis machine. The machine spins off the red blood cells and keeps the plasma. The red blood cells are then returned to the donor.

Plasma has also earned the nickname “liquid gold” because of its colour, Nicola said, “It really is so special, it can be made into so many different medicines.”

The blood drive will take place next Thursday, November 19, at the ASB Sports Centre in Kilbirnie from 9.30am to 2.30pm. Appointments are pre-ferred and will take priority. To book an appointment call 0800 448 325.

Calling for your donation

• About 1 per cent of the population (or 42,000 patients) are treated with blood or blood products each year. That’s equivalent to 110 jumbo jets full of people or nearly the capacity of Eden Park.

• People who have been in acci-dents and su� ered massive blood loss may need multiple transfusions of red blood cells and other blood components.

• The biggest use of blood products is for the treatment of cancer at 26 per cent, with the next biggest being surgery at 19 per cent.

TRANSMISSION!!!Did you know, changing your auto transmission fl uid

is just as important as changing your engine oil?

Although it doesn’t need to be changed as often,

having a trans fl ush every 80-100k (depending on

your vehicle manufacturer) could save you up to

$4000 on transmission repairs in the future. A quick

check you could do at home is look at the colour of

the fl uid on the transmission dip stick. If it’s cherry

red it’s in good condition, if it’s brown, blackish or

has any metal shards on the dip stick, it more than

likely needs a fl ush.

A group of ladies gathered for a cuppa and a catch up on Tuesday – and it was all for a good cause.

Miramar locals Sue Grebby and Clare Aird held a ‘Hospice Cuppa’ event at Elements Cafe in Lyall Bay on Tuesday af-ternoon for family, friends and colleagues.

Women were treated to club sandwiches, chocolate brownies and scones over a cup of coffee or a glass of wine.

Raffl es and a collection box were also set up, to raise some much needed funds for the charity.

The ‘Hospice Cuppa’, run by the Mary Potter Hospice, is a fundraiser which encourages locals to support the hospice by hosting a morning or afternoon tea for friends, family or colleagues.

Sue and Clare said when they heard about the initiative they thought it a perfect way to support the cause and give back to the community.

“We saw it as a great thing to do and as a way of giving back to the community and a really nice way to raise some funds,” said Clare.

“We have friends that have experienced the wonderful service the hospice provides. All of the people here have had a connec-tion to the hospice in some way,” Sue said.

“It is just a lovely way to get people to-gether in a fun way to support and celebrate what the hospice does.”

Both women said they were blown away by the generosity of local businesses that had come to the party and donated items for the raffl e.

In particular they thanked Angela Slaughter, owner of Elements Cafe in Lyall Bay, for kindly providing the venue and her culinary team.

“…everything has been donated, right down to the balloons,” Clare said.

Sue Grebby and Clare Aird organised a ‘Hospice Cuppa’ earlier this week.

Cuppa and a catch up

Continued from page 1He has also received a Queen’s Service

Medal and an International Pride of India Gold Award.

Mr Patel arrived in New Zealand from a small village in Gujarat, India in 1961 and dove straight into volunteer and community work.

“I started work with the Indian community and after that I began work with other com-munities.

“It is in my blood, in India my family did the same thing but I started here.”

Refl ecting on decades of volunteer work, Ken said a true highlight was being awarded a Queen’s Service Medal.

“It means I achieved something for helping somebody – in India they call it good karma.

“I appreciated it because they recognised I had done something for public service for this country.”

Mr Patel said he felt honoured to have been accepted into the community and now considered himself “100 per cent Indian Kiwi”.

“In my world New Zealand is a heaven for me, it is one of the best countries in the world, it’s very peaceful, people are so friendly and everyone is helpful to each other. I can’t see any corruption in this country.

“This country has given me so much so far…so everything I do is voluntary. I don’t charge anything.

“It is my way of thanking the country for accepting me in.”

Mr Patel, who retired many years ago, is currently on the road to recovery after a stint in hospital following a heart attack.

However, he shows no signs of slowing down. He is still working several days a week as a Justice of the Peace and continuing work with groups in the community.

Volunteering in Ken’s blood

HOW TO GET INVOLVED:Anyone can register to host a Hospice Cuppa event by registering online. The Hospice will send out a pack that includes Dilmah Tea, Mojo Coffee, invitations, recipe cards and more. Registration is free from hospice-cuppa.co.nz or by emailing [email protected].

FREE APPRAISALBy Nikki Papatsoumas

It’s out with the old and in with the new.

Residents and visitors to Maupuia and Miramar will soon be greeted by a new directional sign.

Currently a tired and worn directional sign on the corner of Maupuia Rd and Miramar Ave, welcomes and directs visitors to both suburbs.

Councillor Sarah Free said over the last year she has been approached by several resi-dents, who said the sign was “well past its used by date”.

“They didn’t have any sense of pride,” she explained.

With this in mind, Sarah said she got in contact with the Miramar Maupuia Progressive Association and suggested they work on designing and installing a fresh, new sign.

Sarah said she then ap-proached local artist John Fuller and local manufactur-ing engineers A E Tilley.

“We thought it would be nice to get it made locally,” Sarah said. “We wanted it to

be simple and timeless and clearly a directional sign.

“The new sign refl ects the technological expertise and creativity of the area. It is timeless and durable and a bit unique and I hope it will bring a renewed sense of pride for residents.”

John, who is responsible for a mural at the entrance to Miramar, said the sign was made of polished aluminium and core ten steel.

“The idea was to play off the old rustic sign which is there,” John said.

“We wanted something time-less but also used modern technology like laser cutting and modern materials to re-fl ect the high technology and creative side of Miramar.”

Sarah said the Wellington City Council had come to the party, footing the bill for in-stallation and some materials.

She thanked both John and Rory Bremner from A E Tilley for their help in seeing the sign completed.

The new sign is expected to be installed this month.

Wel l ing ton ia ns were among those to express their grief and offer their support following a mas-sacre which left 50 people dead in Florida.

Earlier this week, news broke that 50 people had been killed and as many more injured after a gunman open fi red at Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida.

On Monday night, the Michael Fowler Centre was lit in colours of the rainbow as a gesture of support for the victims of the attack in America.

Mayor of Wellington Celia Wade-Brown said Welling-tonians had reacted in horror to the news of the massacre.

“This is a multi-cultural capital city - we welcome

diversity of expression.“I express my deepest

sympathies to the families and friends of the victims,” she said.

Ms Wade-Brown was also present at the Stand for Orlando event, which took place at Frank Kitts Park on Monday evening.

More than 500 people gathered for a candlelight

vigil to show solidarity for the victims of the hate crime and offer support to one another.

The event was organised by InsideOUT, an organi-sation which works with youth, whanau, schools and communities to make New Zealand a safer place for all young people of diverse gender and sexualities.

A local woman’s interactive novel, which sends readers into a world of dragons and mon-sters, has picked up a national award.

Brooklyn resident Eileen Mu-eller’s book Dragons Realm has picked up a 2016 Sir Julius Vogel Award for best youth novel.

Eileen’s win was announced at the National Science Fiction

Eileen Mueller has just been recognised for an interactive � ction novel she wrote for young adults.

and Fantasy convention held in Wellington over Queen’s Birthday weekend.

The book is a work of interac-tive fi ction set in a fantasy world.

Eileen said when young read-ers venture into the world of Dragons Realm, they’re chased by bullies.

Their choices then let them play out various solutions while having great adventures. Read-ers choices will ultimately lead them to one of 22 outcomes.

Eileen said she became in-terested in interactive fiction after she helped edit a book of the same nature, ‘The Best of Twisty Christmas Tales’.

The author of this book liked Eileen’s editing so much she invited her to write an interac-tive novel of her own.

“It is a great adventure and no matter which way you choose teaches kids about relationships without being preachy, through the choices they make.

“It is about good choices and how their actions affect relation-ships with others,” she said.

“It is really good for reluctant readers because they read short scenes and then they go to make choices.

“It is almost a cross between video games and a book because

they are making choices along the way.”

Eileen said she was blown away by the recognition over Queen’s Birthday weekend.

“I had been shortlisted a cou-ple of times but I really wasn’t expecting it.

“There were so many people in the room that had helped me on my journey in writing… There is a great community across New Zealand of science fi ction fantasy writers.”

Dragons Realm is part of the You Say Which Way series pub-lished by the Fairytale Factory.

Fairytale Factory director, Deb Potter, said they were thrilled fans picked Dragons Realm as best youth novel.

“Interactive fi ction is taking off overseas with the use of e-Readers and it’s great to be acknowledged by New Zealand readers. Eileen has done a ter-rifi c job.”

The Sir Julius Vogel Awards, named after a Prime Minister of New Zealand, are fan voted awards for various endeavours in the science fi ction, fantasy or horror fi elds

Dragons Realm can be purchased on Amazon and CreateSpace.

Interactive novel picks up fan award

A kayaker who was last seen heading around the back of Tapu te Ranga Island, just off the coast of Island Bay, has been located.

On Sunday, police asked members of the public for any sightings of a man with a yellow lifejacket who was on a dark

green kayak just off the south coast of Wellington.

Police said the man was last seen at 4.30pm heading around the back of Tapu te Ranga Island.

The man later contacted police after he saw reports in the media that there were concerns for his

safety. Police said he was safe and well at home.

Strong winds and heavy rain lashed the capital last Sunday.

Police said the incident was a timely reminder for people to be aware of forecasted weather conditions, swell and tides before venturing out.

As well as this, it was impor-tant to ensure you told someone where you were going and what time you expected to be back.

Police thanked those who assisted in the search for the man, including Surf Lifesaving NZ, the Coastguard, and Land SAR volunteers.

The ongoing campaign to get rid of tagging and other graffiti vandalism from around Wellington appears to be achieving great results, according to the � ndings of an independent audit. The audit surveyed 60 sites around the city and more than half were free of any visible graffiti. Mayor of Wellington, Celia Wade-Brown, said the findings should be welcomed by Wellingtonians. The results of the audit were presented to the Wellington City Council’s com-munity, sport and recreation committee at a meeting yesterday.

Vikings, pirates and gladiators are just some of the characters au-diences can expect to see in Scots College’s upcoming production.

Students will present the pro-duction ‘You’re History’ this year, in conjunction with the school’s centenary celebrations, which will culminate in August.

The production features a cast of 120 including students from Queen Margaret College and Wellington Girls’ College, along-side a live band.

The production follows the story of a ‘techie’ teenager, who turns a ‘St Quots College’ classroom into a time machine.

A mischievous detention class

is then sent hurtling back through history and along the way the students discover everything from gallant Ancient Greeks to vicious Vikings, rollicking pirates to disco-happy gladiators and a rapping Romeo and Juliet.

Producer Claire Hall said with centenary celebrations in mind, a scene had also been added to refl ect on the school’s history.

She said the school’s tech de-partment had been busy working on sets and parents were helping create more than 350 costumes.

“What we are doing is really ambitious because every scene is completely different. Most kids have multiple roles.”

Year 13 students Isaac Hooper and Jeremy Brow play lead char-

acters in the upcoming produc-tion.

Both have been involved in school productions throughout their school career.

They said they were excited to be involved in a production of this magnitude, performed during the school’s centenary year.

“It’s our fi nal year and we are very lucky to be part of both the centenary and this big production revolving around it,” Jeremy said.

“It’s going to be bright, beautiful with lots of awesome sets, pieces and costumes. There is heaps of energy on stage,” he said. ‘You’re History’ runs from June 28 to July 2. To purchase tickets, head to scotscollege.school.nz

Island Bay residents are once again invited to have their say.

President of the Island Bay Residents Association, Vicki Greco, said Wellington City Council was currently discuss-ing whether or not to make Island Bay Beach more dog friendly.

Vicki said the residents asso-ciation made an oral submis-sion on the council’s proposed Animal Bylaw and Dog Policy last month.

She said the council was now asking for residents thoughts on two proposed options.

The fi rst would see the centre of Island Bay Beach converted into an off -leash area for dogs. The area could have prohibited

access between 10am to 7pm from December 1 until March 1 the following year.

The second option would make it alright for dogs to be off -leash at the western end of the beach. Once again there could be prohibited access between 10am to 7pm from December 1 until March 1 the following year.

“What we want to know is which one the people prefer,” Vicki said.

Vicki said if anyone wanted to have their say, they could get in touch with the association, who had to notify council of their thoughts by July 11.

The residents association was also asked to have their say

when it came to strengthening a section of the Island Bay Sea-wall, located opposite 393-410 The Esplanade.

Vicki said an engineering con-sultant had assessed the sec-tion of the wall, and found it to have signs of structural weak-ness.

Consultants recommend-ed the existing seawall be strengthened for stability to meet the current loadings standard.

Vicki said the council now wanted to know what residents thought and invited locals to get in touch with the associa-tion with any questions, queries or comments.

Finally, Vicki said a key thing

that came up at recent resil-ience workshops held in Island Bay, was the need for a purpose built community hub.

“Council are also trying to de-cide whether to fund a new ma-rine centre on The Esplanade. What we need now is feedback on whether people would rath-er see the money spent on a new marine centre or a purpose built community hub.”

To contact the Island Bay Residents Association, email [email protected] The next meeting of the

Island Bay Residents Associa-tion will take place on Mon-day, June 27 from 7pm, at the Island Bay Bowling Club.

“Don’t despair, think repair” – that is the motto a Wellington ‘book surgeon’ likes to live by.

Book repair specialist Bill Tito travels up and down the country, repairing old and rare books, docu-ments and maps.

Next weekend, Bill will be sta-tioned at the Children’s Bookshop in Kilbirnie giving locals an oppor-tunity to get any priceless treasures in need of some TLC a once over.

“I’ve been doing this for about 30 years now, I travel around bookshops, in fact quite a lot of bookshops invite me in,” Bill said.

“Next weekend I am giving all people of Wellington an opportu-nity if they have a special and rare book to come in and see me.”

Bill travelled to Wellington from a small town in Taranaki in 1963 to take up an apprenticeship working in the parliamentary library as a book binder.

He was then seconded to the Government printing office to fi nish his apprenticeship.

From there he got into book repair, a skill he calls a “dying art”.

Bill said he mostly fi xes books and documents that have been unearthed by families after being forgotten.

Book repair specialist Bill Tito with a 400-year-old bible he restored.

Book repair specialist heads to town

“The books are often worth what they mean to the person. People will have treasures in their cup-board – lots of family heirlooms.”

Among some of the treasures Bill has repaired are a Scottish bible from 1885 that was the size of his fi ngernail and a Dutch bible that weighed more than 12kg.

He has even restored a bible which is more than 400-years-old.

“If the book is broken bring it

to me, there’s nothing I can’t do, I have been around a long time now and there is nothing I haven’t seen.

“If people want to hand it on to their family for another 100 to 200 years that’s when they have to get it really looked after.”

Bill will be at the Children’s Bookshop in Kilbirnie on Satur-day, June 25 from 11.30am to 1pm. For more information, head to www.bookrepair.co.nz

Two sub-Antarctic seabirds have been successfully released back to sea after receiving care at Wellington Zoo, with a little help from the Maritime Unit of the Wellington District Police. A kerguelen petrel and a northern giant petrel that were found just days apart near Wellington by members of the community were likely to have been blown in during recent storms. After being reported to the Department of Conservation, the birds were treated at The Nest, Wellington Zoo’s animal hospital and centre for native wildlife veterinary care. They were released into the wild earlier this week.

Two petrels return to wild

D eve l o p e r Co o k Strait Properties is starting work on the demolition of the old Manners St Post O� ce building to make way for a two-level building – with mainly retail space on the

ground floor and office space above. At the same time, the Wellington City Council is about to tender for $1.5 million of work to upgrade Lombard Lane, Denton Park and Bond

Street east, which surround the building. Tenders for the council-funded work will open this month. Work on the public spaces will be coordinated with the build-ing’s construction.

MIRAMAR SEATOUN STRATHMORESuburb by the sea

Miramar residents will no doubt have noticed the large black and white box on the corner of Miramar Avenue and Stone Street by now. Known as The Mi-ramar Photobox, this public artwork is an exhibit of historic photographic im-ages from the Eastern suburbs, the earli-est dating back over 140 years. The ma-jority of the photographs were sourced from the Alexander Turnball Library collection in Wellington.

The Photobox is an Enterprise Mira-mar Peninsula (the Miramar Business Improvement District) initiative and was the work of local artist John Fuller. John and the Miramar BID wanted an accessible artwork that people could engage with easily. This is all about the community and its rich history. By placing the photographs on the outside of the container and locating it in a busy area, people are able to stop and take it all in whenever they choose to. There are no opening times, no walls, no restrictions to access. The photobox is not a conventional exhibition in this respect.

What makes the Photobox even more interesting though is its interior, which is confi gured as a small theatre. Enter-

Wellington City Centre


Bordered by a beloved children’s play-ground, it is easy to see why more than 500 local families use the facilities at the Hataitai Community House every week.

What sets the centre apart from the rest was a focus on children and their families, the building’s coordinator Jenny Ellis said.

While the playground is council owned, the community owns the Waipapa Rd house.

“We are independent but we still get a bit of funding from council,” Jenny said.

One of the jewels of the community house is its playroom, which hosts seven different playgroups throughout the week.

A community playgroup takes place on Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings, Jenny explained, while there were also Spanish speaking playgroups and Sakura playgroups as well as a playgroup for small babies and a nannies playgroup available.

“Parents love to socialise and children love to play with each other,” Jenny said.

“We operate with a real sense of belong-ing here, everyone is welcome here, people make very good friends and learn good parenting skills.”

Matairangi Kindergarten also operates

from the Hataitai Community House. “It’s fantastic it is really lovely,” Jenny

said. “It has got such a community feel to it and it’s much smaller [than normal kindergartens].

“We don’t base it on childcare, we base it on time out for parents. It’s more of a family feel.”

Busy Plunket rooms were also based in the building, and community group meet-ings took place in the evenings alongside yoga, French and drama classes.

Jenny has been coordinator at the house for 16 years and said during that time there had never been a day she didn’t want to go to work.

“I love kids. My background is in early childcare and paediatric nurse I love organising community based activities, being really involved and just a sense of welcoming.”

The community house also works closely with the Hataitai Bowling Club.

The club rooms are also community owned and offer a wide range of activities and events for adults and families. The Hataitai Community House is located at 112 Waipapa Rd in Hataitai.Things to watch out for at the Hataitai Community House:

Dear Ed, I cannot for the life of me understand why may-oral candidate Justin Lester is promoting a cycle track over Cobham Dr. This is further pandering to the lycra lobby at great cost, supposedly as part of a yet to be determined eastern suburbs cycleway. For Paul Eagle to put his support to this nonsense, given his quite

justifi able antipathy towards the Island Bay cycleway astounds me. Cyclists from Miramar can, and do, use the seaward side of Cobham Dr to travel to the city and may cross Cobham Dr, to travel to Kilbirnie at Evans Bay Pd. Those travelling from Strathmore can use the subway under the runway at Broadway. Children attending St Pats and

Rongotai Colleges have been using this access for decades without incident. I am not sure how many children attending Evens Bay Intermediate feel the need to cross Cobham Dr, I expect very few and surely not sufficient to justify such profl igate spending.

Tony SutcliffeStrathmore

No need for overbridgeDear Ed, As a regular customer

to our Newtown School Saturday morning fruit and vege market I appreciate the rubber mats provided over the puddles in the alley used for entry. I notice the always present beggar at the entrance, waiting for some money. Last Saturday I noticed the Labour candidate cleaning and clearing that passage of

leaves and debris; thank you Labour! What joy it would have been had the regular passive beggar provided this service and it would have refl ected in his income as well as respect from the crowd. Now I just have to wait for the next Chatham Island raffl e to show my thanks.

Pride, hygiene and safety

Dear Ed, I wonder what Paul Eagle, Vicki Greco and Brendon Bonner are going to do about the large number of underused sidewalks in Island Bay? Everyday I see people zooming down Island Bay parade in their cars, and on bicycles in the cycle lane, leaving the sidewalk completely unused. This sidewalk is taking up valuable car parking space on this main street. They're also dangerous, with the possibility of being hit by a car coming out of a drive way or go-ing into one. Let's not forget the risks of car

doors opening into unwitting pedestrians, if there were any, and the risks these high speed walkers could pose to people getting into and out of their cars. Yes, I'm sure there is the occasional uniformed youngster trotting along a sidewalk before 9am and after 3pm, but I've never seen them and why should we motorists bow to people who get around using other means? Let's free up some space in Island Bay and get rid of these underused and dangerous sidewalks.

James Barber, Newtown

People not using Island Bay sidewalks

Dear Ed, I am fearful because I have a heart condition AND it appears that two previously guilt free people, and still considered innocent, can kill me, plead guilty, be discharged without conviction, have their names suppressed and even where they come from or school they

attend(ed). What does this say for the sport of Rugby (including school rugby)? While we are discussing euthanasia, if life (and death) can be decided by two, not doctors - but schoolboys - who will guard or save my life?

A crane delivered a new multi-million dollar MRI scanner into its new home at Wellington Hospital at the weekend.

Manufactured in Germany, the new machine will join Capital and Coast District Health Board’s (CCDHB) existing scanner, which itself will soon be replaced.

Radiology clinical leader James Entwisle said MRI scans are a defi nitive test that can help early detection of issues like infl ammation, infections or growths.

“Early detection allows us to make faster, and more informed, diagnoses – which in turn allows patients to make more in-formed choices, undergo earlier treatment, and experience better outcomes.”

Over the past fi ve years, demand for MRI scans in the greater Wellington region had risen 20 per cent, James said.

This was due to a range of factors including CCDHB increasing the number of acute and elective patients it saw and an increasing reliance on imaging for diagnosis.

“It was clear that a new scanner – as well as replacement of our existing machine – was needed to ensure we can continue to meet the demand from our communi-ties, which is only going to continue to increase,” James said.

“The $6.5 million investment – for the build, replacement and new scanners – means we can deliver a world-class service so patients throughout the region can access the latest technology, get scans faster, and have improved experiences and outcomes.”

CCDHB chief executive Debbie Chin highlighted the signifi cant support from

the Wellington Hospital Foundation and its fundraising efforts.

“We have a long-standing relationship with the foundation, which is making a signifi cant funding contribution to this project and has been instrumental in ena-bling it to happen when it has,” she said.

“This means we’ve been able to signifi -cantly revamp our MRI facilities with new patient waiting areas, and have our two scanners side-by-side to improve staff effi ciencies.

“The replacement scanner will be in-stalled and operational within the coming months and – over time – we’ll be able to double the number of patients we can scan at Wellington Regional Hospital.”

A new MRI scanner was delivered to Wel-lington Hospital at the weekend.

Dear Ed, Cycleways should be viewed as an element of overall transport solutions. The controversial part is the priorities given to each type of transport. Any residential area (such as Island Bay), or shopping area must put the needs of pedestrians fi rst, then personal transport such as cycles, then pub-lic transport such as buses, and fi nally last the personal motor car. The uproar in Island Bay cannot be found in some problems with a cycleway design or with a supposed

‘ideologically driven council vision’. (It’s only a cycleway Island Bay, get a grip.) Rather the uproar is about the challenge the actual building of the cycleway (fi nally) makes to the traditional total dominance of the motor car in transport planning. What we perhaps are seeing in Island Bay is the fi rst pop-up US-type Tea Party event (read: Donald Trump) in New Zealand.

Richard Keller, Lyall Bay

Priorities given to each type of transportDear Ed, I keep hearing alarming calls to

"return the Island Bay Cycleway to its original layout". Pardon? There wasn't a cycleway there before! At least, not one deserving that name. There was a painted line between the parked cars and the traffi c, designating a "lane" for cyclists' use, completely unprotected from incursions by cars buses and trucks. What is more this lane was partly or entirely in the "door zone" - the most dangerous place to ride, because car doors may open without warning

and throw the cyclist into the path of adjacent traffi c. Experienced cyclists avoid this zone; but inexperienced cyclists are routinely enticed into danger by these so-called cycle lanes. Around New Zealand government authorities have fi nally woken up to the need, and are investing in protected cycleways, helped by central government funding. We should embrace this as a long-overdue enhancement to our roading infrastructure.

Andrew Carman, Brooklyn

Children from Worser Bay School have delved into their backyards to make this year’s school fair something special - and very local.

Using produce the children have scav-enged from their backyards and with a little help from local suppliers, chef and school mum Hannah Thornton has put together an amazing array of goodies to stock the popu-lar deli at the fair on Sunday, November 8.

“We really wanted to use as much local produce as we could as it came into season.

“The children and their parents have brought in lots, as have friends and family and Kim [Chin] from Miramar Fruit Supply supplied the rest.”

Hannah has assorted a tasty range in-cluding preserves, chutneys, mustards, cordials, kimchi (a Korean pickle), relishes and even a pizza sauce.

For those wanting an early start there are also Christmas cakes and mince meat for Christmas pies.

Burgers, dumplings, pizzas from the

school’s own pizza ovens, Thai fi shcakes and many other food stalls will be keep-ing everyone fed on the day.

The theme for this year’s fair is “Our Secret Garden”.

Worser Bay School principal Jude Pente-cost says this ties in well with the learning the children have been doing this year.

“Relationships are at the heart of our school and strongly refl ected in our cur-riculum. This year's inquiry, 'What and Who is in Our Backyard' has been full of rich learning experiences and provides a great link to the fair.”

Money raised from the fair will go towards various school projects.

In the past these have included help with digital technology, additional staffing, teacher professional development and the engagement of a writing specialist. Worser Bay School Fair - 168 Seatoun Heights Rd, Sunday, November 8, from 11am to 2pm, rain or shine. Some Eftpos available.

Array of goodies at local fair

Chef Hannah Thornton has used local, seasonal produce provided by Worser Bay School chil-dren, friends and family to put together a tasty array of treats that will be on sale at the school fair on Sunday, November 8.

Our summer pools were built by us.Blends in well did cause no fuss.With hydro slide will cause a splash.And to it many people dash. Through native bush we twist and wiggle.From the children brings a giggle.Severn days a week the place is open.Hot summer days we all are hopen!

The All Blacks will be going head to head with the Welsh this Saturday to a sold-out Westpac Stadium.

Following the fi rst test match in Auck-land last Saturday, the All Blacks will take on Wales from 7.35pm this Saturday in the capital.

With more than 35,000 tickets sold for the game, the Wellington City Council was warning ticket holders to plan their journey ahead.

Bunny Street would be closed to traffi c prior to the match, but there would be

drop off points at the Wellington Railway Station, the council said.

Thorndon Quay would then be closed after the match to allow crowds to make an easy exit from the stadium.

The council suggested ticket holders walked, cycled or took the bus or train to the stadium for the game this Saturday evening. For more information, head to metlink.org.nz and westpacstadium.co.nz Event train tickets can be purchased at a reduced cost at Transmetro Trains.

Sold-out stadium for All Black match


The Wellington Marathon is set to take place later this month.

Established in 1986, the annual June event has been Wellington’s major marathon event for 30 years.

Event manager Michael Jacques said in recent years it had become New Zealand’s fastest growing marathon event, attracting some 5000 partici-pants, to be one of the New Zealand’s “Big Five”, alongside the Auckland, Queenstown, Rotorua and Christch-urch marathons.

Based at Wellington’s much-loved Westpac Stadium, the event follows a fl at, fast and scenic tour of the Harbour bays.

As well as the Marathon over the classic 42.2k distance, other options include the Half Marathon, the 10 km, 5 km run and the Kids’ Magic Mile.

Michael said not everyone was up for a marathon but that is not to say there wasn’t a challenge they wanted

to meet.“As much as it is a serious race, 99

per cent of people are doing their own challenge. I call it ‘every man’s Everest’.

“With a bit of training you can set yourself little mini goals and do things you would not have otherwise done.”

Michael said as well as thousands of locals, the event attracted more than 1000 participants from outside the wider region.

He said this and the event organisa-tion itself generated annual economic impact for the City of more than one million dollars.

“This is an aspect we’re really keen to increase,” said Michael.

“The bigger the event grows, the more Wellington benefi ts, both altru-istically and economically.”

The Wellington Marathon will take place on June 26.

A rising softball star has hit the ball out of the park having been selected to represent New Zealand in an upcoming tourna-ment in Australia.

Rongotai College sportsman Tobias Makisi has been selected to play for the New Zealand Emerging Sox at the Friendship Games in Sydney next month.

The year 13 student, who plays catcher and outfi eld, has been playing softball since he was a toddler.

“I just love getting into the game, the excitement and the intensity in the game.”

He currently plays for the Ron-gotai College senior team and the Wellington U17 team. He is also a member of the Miramar Softball Club, playing for the U17 team, U19 team and Premier 2 grade.

The multi-talented student is also on the 1st XV Rugby team at Rongotai College, and all up, spends more than 14 hours per week training.

Tobias is all set for his trip to Australia later this month with his family and said he hoped taking part in the series would help him on his

journey to becoming a profes-sional sportsman.

“I am hoping to improve on my skill set and to come out a more confident and knowledgeable player.

“Hopefully I will make it as far as I can with the sport.

“One of my goals is that if I follow this pathway, hopefully I can achieve. A lot of hard work has been put in.”

Rongotai College principal Kevin Carter said Tobias was a “great all-round young man”.

“He is also a great rugby player – an absolute cornerstone of the 1st XV.

“It has been really great to see the resurgence of his sport in the last year or so, it is really good to have a current New Zealand rep and some on the conveyor belt as well.”
