Cook Strait News: 387 7160

By Nikki PapatsoumasA day centre in Newtown that provides

support for the mental health community has been told they will have to close their doors due to an impending restructure.

Aspire Inc. run two day centres, both the Clubhouse in Newtown and Courtenay’s in the city centre.

These day centres allow people from the mental health community to come together and make personal connections with people who share the same experi-ence.

Their major funding comes from the Capital and Coast District Health Board,

who are in the process of introducing a new service model - the Te Ara Pai framework.

Stage one was released last year and focused on in home support and stage two is set to be rolled out on July 1 this year, and will focus on secondary community mental health service delivery, such as that Aspire provides.

Under this new framework Aspire were informed their contract and funding with the CCDHB would not be renewed, and would instead be replaced by the new model.

Chairman of the Governing Board of

Aspire Inc. Richard Noble says it is un-fortunate the CCDHB didn’t see Aspires services as fi tting into the new model.

“Our service users are anxious and fear-ful for what this change will bring. They are uncertain of their future.”

Group Manager Service Integration Sandra Williams says a priority of the CCDHB is to improve the integrated delivery of mental health and addictions services.

“Our aim is to improve the experience of the people using services and improve the health of the population whilst ensur-ing that we operate within the resources

available.”She says the new services were designed

with input from people who use services and their family and whanau, as well as people who provide services and fund services, and the changes were supported through the engagement process.

“People will be supported to increase their connections with the wider com-munity and to access services they choose from a range that includes all those available to the wider community,” says Ms Williams.

A veteran Mount Cook School teacher is leaving her profession after three decades.

Jackie McAuliffe has been teaching for 30 years, 20 of which she has spent at Mount Cook School.

Jackie, who was also deputy principal at the school, received a fi tting send off as part of their school assembly last Thursday.

Jackie who started teaching in Porirua says she chose to work at Mount Cook School because of its diverse background.

“I choose to work at a multi-cultural school because the thing that delights me is the diversity of ethnicity.

“It was about relationship for me and it was about being another adult that cares about the children.”

Jackie says seeing her former students all grown now up is fantastic, and says she takes “delight” in seeing where they are now.

She says what she will miss most is the magic of being with the children she teaches.

Mount Cook School principal Sandra McCallum says Jackie was more than just a teacher.

"Jackie is the most extraordi-nary teacher and person, she nurtures, encourages, challenges and loves our children, their whanau and our staff.

“She has left an incredible leg-acy and will be hugely missed".

Jackie says after 30 years she felt it was time to move on to something different.

“I just felt that it was time to stop, I love teaching and I worked very hard in the last 30 years and I want to do something different now.”

Veteran teacher says goodbye

A local group is just one of the many that was affected by a fi re at the Kiwi Self Storage Facility in Kilbirnie earlier this month.

The unit the Strathmore Community Church and East-ern Southern Youth Trust (ESYT) shared was totally destroyed in the fire, which

now looks likely to have been started intentionally.

Maurice Roberts from the Eastern Southern Youth Trust says they were hit the hardest.

ESYT supports and enable syouth workers to work with young people and their whanau in the eastern and southern suburbs of Wellington.

He says they are just a week out from their Easter camp,

and lost all the gear needed in the fi re.

“Insurance was not worth it as most items were donated and the premium plus the cost of the excess meant it wasn’t economical,” he says.

“The gear didn’t have a value in that sense, but it does in terms of usability.”

Now Maurice says they are struggling to provide bed rolls,

sleeping bags and folding chairs for the 20-25 youth who they will take on camp.

They are asking members of the community to come forward and offer donations.

Anyone who can help is asked to contact Maurice on 021 1906002 or email [email protected]

Continued from page 1. However Mr Noble says the

mental health demographic is a very broad one, and this does not refl ect the best interest of the mental health community as a whole.

“I can see there is perhaps room for people who are a lot further along the journey of recovery to have more personalised service.

“But there are also those who haven’t come so far and Aspire is an ideal place

to meet the needs of these people.”

Wellington City Councillor Paul Eagle says unfortunately the community have some-times “negative perceptions” of those who use Aspires services.

“Some of the concern from locals is where will these people go without this valu-able service, and there is a concern they could dete-riorate quickly without a service.

“It is a safe place and they are able to mix with people who share the same experi-ence, allowing them to feel part of the community.”

Mr Noble says he board of Aspire is committed to doing all they can over the next few months to pursue other funding options, and are optimistic they will be able to continue providing their services in one way or another.

The Royal Tour may have kicked off with less than average weather, but it served as a great conversation starter for some lucky students from Rongotai College, who had an opportu-nity to meet Prince William and Duchess Catherine last Monday.

Rongotai College students were among those to welcome the Duke and Duchess and around 125 boys performed a haka on the lawn of Government House.

Head Boy Conor Flynn and Deputy Head Boy Luka Hoger-vorst were lucky enough to meet the royal couple in person.

“We did our haka and then they stopped to shake our hands,” says Conor.

“I was a little bit nervous before meeting them but they were really nice people. Once we started talking the nerves went away.”

“It was pretty cool speaking to them because they are royals I just thought it was awesome,” Luka agrees.

ROYAL MEETING: Rongotai College students were among those who welcomed the Duke and Duchess to New Zealand last Monday.

“They apologised for us having to wait in the rain, it was just awesome.”

Rongotai College principal Kevin Carter says Rongotai Col-lege students have been selected

to be part of special welcomes at Government House for the last few years now.

“It is a huge honour for us to have been asked to welcome the Duke and Duchess to New

Zealand.“I am pleased the boys were

able to be involved in such a signifi cant event and it will be something they will always remember very clearly.”

Royal meeting of a lifetime


The Wellington RSA have been busy preparing for Poppy Day, which will fall on Thursday April 17.

Usually Poppy Day falls on the Friday before ANZAC Day, however this year that is Good Friday so it has been moved forward.

Staff and volunteers have been me-ticulously preparing around 50,000 poppies, and sorting them, ready for collection day.

President of the Wellington RSA Ron Turner says although it is a little further away from ANZAC Day he is sure people of Wellington and New Zealand will respond in their normal generous way.

“They help to provide us with

resources that will allow us to carry out welfare activities for returned servicemen for the coming years.

“They are vitally important to the continuing provision of welfare ser-vices to veterans and their families.”

Mr Turner says Poppy Day is equally important to remind people of the sacrifi ce made by all the men and women that died during confl ict.

The Miramar Commu-nity Centre will be screen-ing Children of Gallipoli on Anzac Day.

Produced for TVNZ and Turkish TV, the documen-tary focuses on four young people, two Turks and two New Zealanders, all descended from men who fought at Gallipoli in 1915.

Travelling to Turkey, the New Zealanders explore the battle site and meet

the other two participants and together, they gain an insight into the grim real-ity of what their ancestors went through. Seeing it through their eyes charges the fi lm with a strong emo-tional resonance.

All are welcome to come along to the free, family friendly event at the Mira-mar Community Centre, on Friday April 25 from 2pm.

A Miramar resident has been left disgruntled by inappropriate wording on a billboard.

David Medland says while doing his grocery shopping at Miramar New World he noticed an advertisement for Miss Fox Hair Parlour -which is located in the CBD.

He says he was unim-pressed with wording on the billboard which reads ‘hair colouring so natural you won’t need to pull your pants down to prove it’s yours’.

“Whilst I am very much for humour and creativity, I think that this wording has crossed a family-friendly line,” says Mr Medland.

“Whether a child would read it is beside the point, the fact is it’s in a public place. I

would be very interested to see if other people feel the same way.”

He says he has voiced con-cerns to both the owner of Miss Fox and the owner of the building.

Owner of Miss Fox Hair Parlour, Karen McKay says they were not looking to offend anyone.

“We are quite unique and I suppose our approach as a salon is all about personality. We have it in our window as well and our clients love it they have a great sense of humour.

Ms McKay says she has responded to Mr Medland’s emails and have taken his comments on board.

“It was never our intention to offend anyone. We are a young and vibrant salon and we like to represent our-selves with fun and humour.”

CONCERNED: David Medland from Miramar is unimpressed with an advertisement for a salon, which he says is not child friendly.

A local supermarket owner is fast gaining a reputation for going the extra mile for the Newtown community

Newtown New World owner Donald Chung’s latest good deed has been to provide a community barbecue to help community organisations with their fundraising efforts.

Other contributions include sponsoring and participating as a patroller for the Wellington South Community Patrol, and sponsoring teen cancer support group CanTeen, the Newtown Festival, Government House Newtown Carols, and Keep Newtown Clean.

The last is a group of residents who meet monthly to paint out graffi ti and clean up the streets.

Raised on Hanson Street,

Chung has watched the com-munity grow and develop over the years, but one thing he says has not changed is his affection for it.

“I grew up in Newtown. I really like the community and I have pride in it.”

Chung fi rst became involved with Newtown New World in 1985, when he gained a position as a part-time check out opera-tor and shelf stacker during his university years.

During his fourth year he was promoted to store manager.

Since then, he has practised physiotherapy, acted as grocery manager at Pak n’ Save Kilbirne, owned and run Eastbourne Four Square and Wainuiomata New World before returning to Newtown New World in 2011.

Believing he has a duty to serve his community, Chung has made the barbecue available on request

to any community organisations needing help fundraising. It is also used to feed volunteers who participate in the Keep Newtown Clean project.

“I get a lot of requests from schools and other organisations trying to raise funds. This is a way to serve them and the wider community,” he says.

“The community supports me too. It’s a two-way street.”

Chung says the barbecue has been modifi ed to suit organisa-tions’ needs.

It includes cleaning equipment, cooking utensils, a PA system with a built in power supply, a board for advertising your cause and a Bluetooth music system.

It also has a microphone at-tached for public announce-ments.

“We’re trying to make things easier for people. It includes eve-rything you need to get started.” PHOTO CREDIT: Holly Bagge

New World owner going the extra mile

Newtown resident and the man behind Keep Newtown Clean David Wilcock says the community is very fortunate to have Chung.

“He helps members who can’t do these things themselves. We rely on Donald to make things work.

“Donald is empowering the com-

munity.”The barbecue is available for use

outside Newtown New World for a small deposit, which is refunded after use. If needed, the user can also order food from the supermarket on the day of booking.

HOT OFF THE GRILL: Donald Chung working the new community barbecue.

Over the weekend 6,000 young people took part in the Caritas Chal-lenge, and youth from the southern and eastern suburbs were among those to take part.

The Caritas Challenge is a new nationwide activity to encourage youth to walk in someone else’s shoes, in a bid to understand and experience some of the challenges people living in poverty face.

Life Teen Wellington and Welling-ton East Youth hosted activities in Kilbirnie around four themes - ‘Live it’ ‘Work it’ ‘Sweat it’ ‘Stop it’ to bring them closer to living condi-tions of those less fortunate.

Events took place at St Patrick’s Church in Kilbirnie and as part of

the challenge they slept overnight in makeshift cardboard box homes, and they also baked items which they sold around Kilbirnie to raise money for Caritas.

The theme and benefi ciaries for 2014 are the people of Solomon Is-lands, and this became all the more signifi cant due to fl ash fl oods which devastated the country on Friday, with fl oods leaving at least 16 people dead, thousands homeless and roads and infrastructure destroyed.

An initial pledge of NZ $10,000 has been made to Solomon Islands from Caritas’ Emergency Re-sponse Fund and Caritas will continue to support its partner’s with response and recovery initiatives.

BAKING AWAY: Keriann and David bake cakes as part of a nationwide 24 hour event to raise funds and awareness of Solomon Islands.

Pacifi c people who live in Wellington City are encour-aged to come out and vote in the election for the City Coun-cil’s Pacifi c Advisory Group, today Monday 14 April.

Voting for the Samoan, Fijian and Cook Islands seats takes place this evening at 6:45pm (6pm for refresh-ments) in the Lion Harbour-view Lounge, Michael Fowler Centre, Wellington. Voters must be of Pacific Island descent, be enrolled on the Parliamentary Electoral Roll and live in the Wellington City Council area.

Time to voteWellington Zoo staff and vol-

unteers were saddened last week after making the diffi cult deci-sion to euthanase the Zoo’s two remaining African Wild Dogs.

Both animals had been treated for severe arthritis and other age-related medical conditions, and after trying a variety of

different medications and pain relief, the diffi cult choice was made to euthanase the last two African Wild Dogs at the Zoo.

Wellington Zoo will establish a new pack of young African Wild Dogs with four founders arriving from South Africa later in 2014.

CorrectionsThe Cook Strait News would like to apologise for a mistake made in last week’s edition. In the story A taste of Greece in Kilbirnie the cor-rect name is Litsa Darakis, not Latsa Darakrs as previously reported.

In last week’s edition the headline reading Playcentre welcomes newcomers should read Play group welcomes newcomers. St Cuthbert’s Play Group is not a playcentre.

A water tank behind Wellington Hospital got a much needed makeover as part of this month’s Keep Newtown Clean day.

The reservoir, which is often a target for graffi ti, got a clean-up and ‘Newtown’ was painted in large letters by residents of Mans-fi eld House.

Wellington City Council Community Servic-es Manager Jenny Rains says the council has a new strategy around graffi ti management and a key part of that is community engagement.

She says this is one of many specifi c projects residents at Mansfi eld House are working on, in an effort to take ownership of their community.

“We want to give the community ownership and we support the community to do that, Newtown has been a prime example of how well this strategy works.”

She says the council will supply paint, brushes and other equipment in support of these projects.

Makeover for water tankNEW LOOK: The water tank behind Wellington hospital has Newtown painted in large letters b y members of Mansfi eld House.

Wellingtonians will have one last op-portunity to see their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge during their fi nal public appearance in New Zealand, this Wednesday April 16.

From 11.15am they will make a slow drive up Customhouse Quay, straight onto Willis Street and left into Mercer before alighting at the Victoria/Mercer street junction to begin a public walk through Civic Square at approximately 11.25am.

There will be an opportunity to view the motorcade as it progresses up Willis Street.

The walk will commence from the Victoria Street entrance to Civic Square, concluding midday at Jervois Quay (near the Ruby World Cup Statue on Jack Ilott Green)

Council will have event staff and vol-unteers on site throughout the morning and at the event to help guide people to appropriate areas.

Due to road closures, parking restric-tions and the potential for heavy traffi c, people are encouraged to plan ahead and consider public transport to and from Wellington CBD on the day.

LETTERS to the editor

Evans Bay Intermediate School....

The term has come to an end with EBIS celebrating it’s 50th birthday in grand style!April 4th and 5th saw ex-staff and students arriving at the School to look back at the 50 years that have been, the journey of

Evans Bay Intermediate School.“ Our visitors had a wonderful time with our staff, Board and students. The thing that they all loved most was the performances and the conversations that they had with our current students.

The stories that they shared with us were wonderful and our children loved learning about how things were 50 years ago. The weekend was a huge success for us as a School.” Principal Wendy Esera said.

Celebrates 50 Years!The stories that they shared with us were

Dear Editor,I live in Island Bay and

was reading some of your back issues on the web and noticed the article about the proposed bus stop on Medway Street. It is the fi rst I have heard of it.

My children and I use Medway Street to bike

to school and work and I would be very concerned about safety with a bus stop there. I think we need to keep the buses on the Pa-rade and keep Derwent and Medway St quieter so there is an alternative for cyclists (and for pedestrians). Also I often park on Medway St

when I need to go to the shops or over to school and would miss the parks. Thus I am not in favour of the proposal to put a bus stop on Medway Street.

When Britain declared war on Germany on 4 August 1914, there was no question that New Zealand would support Britain in the war effort. There was a rush for men to enlist.

For BNZ staff left behind, extra work, longer hours and giving up annual leave were taken in stride. This was not enough to avoid the closure of some branches and by mid 1915 the bank was struggling to provide banking services.

Women were employed by BNZ to fi ll the gap, a move that permanently changed the workplace.

Bank of New Zealand Museum offers a unique view of New Zealand since 1861, providing insight into the way our country has evolved both socially and fi nancially.

Navigation lights must be shown from sunset to sunrise, and curing conditions of restricted visibility (bylaws 3.3 to 3.6)

This summer was not one of our better ones, however autumn and winter can often give nice weather to get out on the water. Weather conditions on Wellington’s harbour and coast can be very changeable, check the forecast before going out and watch the weather while on the water. All boats, including kayaks and stand up paddleboards must have a properly fi tting lifejacket for each person on board and a means of communication for emergencies. On vessels under 6 metres long the lifejackets should be worn.Avoid big ships; within Wellington harbour keep clear of large ships. There is a link on our website, (look under Commercial services/ Centreport) that shows the recommended tracks of the ships in and out of the harbour.If you hear 5 short blasts on a ships horn, they are getting concerned about a vessel in their way, make sure it isn’t you. They cannot easily stop or avoid you.Now daylight saving has fi nished check your navigation lights if you might be out at night. Make sure your lights are in the correctly positioned and that they work when needed.If entering or leaving the harbour at night call Wellington Harbour Radio on VHF Ch14, to tell them who you are and where you are going. They will inform you of any other vessels on the harbour and other vessels will hear what you are doing as well. Have a look in the Apps store for your smart phone for MarineMate, a free NZ wide app with local boating information, such as boat ramps and water-ski lanes and other useful safety information.

For more further information or a copy of the Navigation & Safety Bylaws go to our website www.gw.govt.nz/harbours or contact us on 830 4160. To report unsafe boating behaviour call us on 388 7795.

These trips are very popular and quickly

are becoming a ‘must do’ for visitors to the capital!

The catamaran ferries carry up to 99 pas-sengers and have a fantastic viewing from their open top decks.

Inside the main cabin you can buy coffee, tea, snacks and icecreams as well as beer and wine from the bar onboard.

The ferries are also available for evening charters with a range of different options.

You won’t fi nd friendlier crew than on the ferries, nothings a problem.

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

Head lice are small, fl at insects - about two-three millimetres long. “The Head Lice Self Care fact card has a picture so if you are not sure what they look like, ask us for a copy of the card”, Self Care pharmacists suggest. Head lice live on the human scalp and feed on blood. They crawl through and climb up the hair, clutching tightly with their claw-like legs (they do not jump or fl y).

When children have their heads touching, lice move easily from head to head.

Adult lice move all over the scalp, so to search for them and remove them it is best to wet the hair, apply conditioner, and comb with a fi ne-tooth comb. Wipe the comb with tissue to see whether or not lice are present. Continue to do this until you can fi nd no more insects. Repeat this procedure each day for the next 10-14 days. The eggs (nits) – which are found stuck fi rmly to the base of the hair, especially the back of the neck and behind the ears - are diffi cult to remove by comb and need to be pulled out (or killed by squashing between fi ngernails so they ‘pop’. Leaving them means they hatch (within 7-10 days of being laid) and start the cycle again. That is why each day for 10-14 days you need to repeat the wet combing method - so you get any lice that hatch from eggs you have missed.

The alternative to physically removing lice (by fi ne-tooth combing) and eggs (by pulling out) is to use a special head lice treatment. Your Self Care pharmacist can advise you about the different types and suggest one best suited to your child. “It is important to use these treatments cor-rectly so read, and follow, the instructions carefully”, advise Self Care pharmacists. “Treatments need to be repeated in a week’s time because you won’t get all the eggs the fi rst time; you have to get them when they hatch.” Using the ‘condition and comb’ method, check the hair for live lice 24 to 48 hours after treatment.

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

Parents often ask how to prevent their children from getting head lice. Here are some simple steps:

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

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

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

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

Stress is a normal part of life. Many events that happen to you and around

you - and many things that you do yourself - put stress on your body.

You can experience stress from your environment, your body, and your thoughts.

How Does Stress Affect Health?Stress that continues without relief can lead

to a condition called distress - a negative stress reaction.

Distress can lead to physical symptoms in-cluding headaches, upset stomach, elevated blood pressure, chest pain, and problems sleeping.

Research suggests that stress also can bring on or worsen certain symptoms or diseases.

Stress also becomes harmful when people use alcohol, tobacco, or drugs to try and relieve their stress.

Unfortunately, instead of relieving the stress and returning the body to a relaxed state, these substances tend to keep the body in a stressed state and cause more problems.

Stress busting tips

A special comb is used to get rid of lice.

George says lots of train-ing with the school and his club has got him where he

Rising Rongotai College foot-baller Fraser Norrington has made it into the Wellington Phoenix Football Academy.

The 16 year old, who also plays for the Miramar Rangers, says becoming a professional footballer has always been his dream.

“When I started to go the Phoe-nix games I saw people cheering them on and realised I wanted that one day.”

The Wellington Phoenix Acad-emy is targeted at students between

the ages of 13 and 17 and focuses on developing their skills to make them better technical players.

Fraser says he made in into the academy after trials and says he owes getting accepted to a special man.

“Having my dad (Roy) as my coach or assistant coach through-out my career was hopeful and for him to see me progress so well, it is just very special.”

Fraser started his football career at Miramar Rangers, before joing Rongotai College at the u15 level.

He says current Team Wellington coach James Webb was also a big
