HERE TO HELP

By Laura KavanaghThe hard work of a young girl from Karori

has raised about $4,000 for education projects in Nepal, Kenya and Haiti.

Skylar McClelland, who turns 12 on Friday, has been a loyal supporter of charity event Purple Cake Day organising fundraising events for the past three years.

Purple Cake Day is a charity event that sup-ports children worldwide to receive education they need to change their lives.

It is an initiative of the Kenbe La Charitable Foundation Trust.

Skylar and her friends from Samuel Marsden Collegiate School have set themselves fundrais-ing goals for Purple Cake Day every year they have been involved.

Last year, Skylar persuaded her whole year group in an assembly to ‘go purple’, and she organised a school-wide purple hat day and cup-cake stall which well exceeded their fundraising goal of $1000.

Other items created by students include ribbons and fl ags.

The materials were donated by parents, so all proceeds went to charity.

Skylar has also set up a pen pal correspondence with a girl her same age, Wydline, from the school in Haiti which Purple Cake Day supports.

Humble, generous, and role model were words used at the Karori Youth Awards last Thurs-day night.

The event, held at the Karori West Normal School Hall, an-nually honours young people in the Karori community who show leadership, perseverance and heart–this year was no different.

The event started off with a bang, with a kapa haka perfor-mance by Karori West students.

Event organiser Barry Love-grove says the community sup-

port for the awards was great. “It’s more than we have had

in the past–it was a really good turnout.”

Lovegrove acknowledged Ka-rori West Normal School and its principal, Janice Shramka, for allowing the event to go ahead in the school, with St John’s Hall being ruled out this year because of earthquake safety concerns.

Lovegrove says the awards were created to acknowledge what young people bring to the community.

“It’s a great opportunity for us to recognise you people.

“It’s about saying, we do actu-ally know you’re there and we think you’re pretty good in the community.”

The event’s keynote speaker was Invercargill mayor Tim Shadbolt, who had the crowd in hysterics as he encouraged all the award recipients to “expect the unexpected”.

In between offering Prime Minister John Key some advice for the election and anecdotes about his recruitment trip to Mongolia for the Southern Insi-tute of Technology, Shadbolt had pearls of wisdom for the up-and-

coming community leaders. “Try and fi nd humour in every-

thing you can,” he said. All recipients remained hum-

ble, and some rather bashful on stage, as they were presented their awards by Shadbolt.

This year included the fi rst ever award for service to sport, put forward by the Waterside Karori AFC Juniors, which was award to Lincoln Matthews.

Fourteen awards were pre-sented for a range of leadership, social, sporting and academic successes.

For Service to the Commu-nity: Hyuma Takeuchi, Lexie Steele, Nissa Dunn, Benjamin Hooper, Kate Mills-Workman and Jayden Hamilton. For Service to Sport: Lincoln Matthews. For Academic Improvement: Hyeonseo Willie Yang and Qudratoliah Hussaini. For Courage and Bravery: Amy Noble. For Community Organisa-tions: Karori West Normal School and Wellington West Netball Satellite.For Contribution to Young People: Graeme Tall and Sch-nell Lemon.

Wydline lives in a tent camp in Port-au-Prince and comes into school early when she knows there is a letter from Skylar.

Skylar got involved with Purple Cake Day because she says she wanted to make more of a dif-ference.

“This charity really stood out for me – it is children helping children around the world,” Skylar says.

“We learn about other children in different countries, and raise money to help them get an educa-tion.”

Patron Dame Suzie Moncri-eff says Purple Cake Day gives

children the opportunity to ex-press themselves in innovative, original, and fun ways, but most importantly it is also a chance for children to learn about generosity, compassion and an awareness of children less fortunate than themselves.

“Instilling these values in chil-dren is priceless.”

As one of the charities of choice, Purple Cake Day is allocated tickets to the 2014 WOW pre-view show in Wellington on Wednesday, September 24, and a percentage of each ticket sale goes directly to the education projects.

More than 500 locals turned out to listen to seven of Ohariu’s parliamentary candidates last week – the biggest crowds in at least 15 years.

More than 150 fi lled the John-sonville Uniting Church last Tuesday, with nearly double that the following night in Ngaio, and a good crowd attended at Malvina Major rest home.

It was standing room only for many, with more than half the Ngaio crowd having to line the walls and stand at the back.

Candidates included a martial arts instructor, a breastfeeding mother, and Brett Hudson, who will most certainly be a National MP after the election due to his high list placing.

While many applauded local MP Peter Dunne, others wanted answers.

Johnsonville resident Graeme Chisnell was not happy with his local MP, saying he was sick of waiting for him to honour his promises.

“How long do I have to wait – or should I build a coffi n now?” he asked.

Mr Dunne said all promises in the confi dence and supply agreement with National were kept.

People Power spokesperson John Maynard also accused Mr Dunne of breaking promises.

He quoted an Independent Herald article that said Mr Dunne had no desire to engage with people like Mr Maynard’s group, claiming Mr Dunne had later said in a newsletter that he would advocate for everyone, ir-respective of political leanings.

Mr Dunne said he had kept his pre-election promises. “I don’t think you can hold me to

Hundreds turn out to listen to candidates

account for a broken promise – I’ve stuck to my word,” he publicly told Mr Maynard. “I’m not going to be hijacked by those who don’t live in the electorate.”

Ngaio’s Janice Brown enjoyed the lively debate. She split her

vote in 2011, voting for Mr Dunne as her MP, but she is undecided this year.

“I may change my mind – I might split it (again) for different reasons,” she says.

The rebuild of Karori West Scout Hall is in full swing as work started last month on bring-ing the fi re damaged building back to life.

The building has been unused since it was subject to an arson attack last year.

With the support of the local community, funds have been raised to restore the hall to its former glory, and chair of Karori West Scouts Steve Butler says work has been progressing well.

Steve says since the building consent was approved, they have stripped the inside, replaced the

fl oors, and worked on the roof and damaged interior.

A new kitchen area is being built, which will be great for the scouts as well as other groups looking to hire the hall out.

“It is looking a lot better, it is fantastic to get it started,” Steve says.

Everything is on track for com-pletion by the end of November, and Steve is looking forward to showing the leaders the new hall.

There will be a bit of painting and extra maintenance required after construction fi nishes.

Steve says the kids are really excited, and will be involved in decorating the outside of the hall.

The redevelopment of the Johnsonville Shopping Cen-tre now under review, and may not go ahead as initially planned.

Last year DNZ Property Fund deferred the redevelop-ment project, but since then work on the Johnsonville Triangle has been progressed in the hope that the Johnson-ville Mall redevelopment will follow.

At DNZ’s Annual General Meeting on September 5, Chief Executive Peter Alexan-der indicated development for the mall is now up in the air.

“The company is currently evaluating options for the future of Johnsonville Mall, within our overall objective of implementing our investment strategy and delivering divi-dend and asset value growth for our shareholders,” he says.

Mr Alexander says the Johnsonville site presents a

strong opportunity due to its strategic location in a growing catchment area, noting that it is almost fully occupied and delivering an adequate hold-ing return, but the evolving economic climate has changed things.

“The economic and retail environments have changed since that project was origi-nally conceived, and it is pru-dent to take the opportunity to review the project. That review has commenced and

early next year we should start to draw some conclusion.”

“The site represents a strong opportunity; it is strategically located, in a growing catch-ment area, which is currently underserved by retail facili-ties.”

As of March, 47 per cent of DNZs portfolio is invested in retail, with 25 per cent of that being shopping centres, the second largest of which is the Johnsonville Shopping Centre.

After many a sausage sizzle, the Johnsonville Lions has used its funds to donate lifesaving equipment to Wellington Free Ambulance this year.

The Lions group paid for a striker stretcher and four Entonox regulators.

David Brown from Johnsonville Lions says they decided to support Wellington Free Ambulance in buying the stretcher and regulaters because it is a free, community service, right in the middle of the community.

“We wanted to support something tangible and use funds to support the community,” David says.

The regulators are extremely useful for am-bulance staff offering pain relief in short term siuations.

More trains have been delayed and cancelled on the Johnsonville line as the tracks are being prepared for upgrades.

Last Wednesday two ser-vices were cancelled. Kiwi Rail spokesperson David Miller says overnight work had caused services to be delayed and cancelled for morning commuters and expected that to continue until the work was done.

“There will be some speed restrictions and delays in the next few days,” he says.

“It’s just the way they have scheduled it.”

Over the weekend all ser-

vices were replaced by buses as KiwiRail repaired fencing and remote sensors along sec-tions of the Johnsonville line to protect it from falling rock.

New concrete sleepers were also installed over a 300m section near Wellington Rail-way Station.

Alistair Brown, who has been a regular commuter on the Johnsonville line for seven years, believes delays are caused due to Matangi trains being unsuitable for steeper parts of the Johnson-ville line.

“I think it’s really poor –they need to get the trains sorted so they run on these lines,” he says.

A fresh face has joined the ranks of Kelburn Medical Cen-tre bringing with her a wealth of experience in patient care.

Dr. Emma Dunning joined the centre in June and has been enjoying meeting the locals.

Growing up in the Western suburbs and now currently living in Ngaio, she decided to become a doctor after her own GP put her at ease about some-thing she was worried about.

Emma has been a GP for 13 years and says she enjoys her work because every day is dif-ferent and new.

She says there is something

nice about working in a com-munity where you work with families over generations.

“You create a bond with people that you have forever,” Emma says.

Emma says Kelburn is a very interesting community, with a diverse range of families, students and seniors living in the area.

She has been exploring the Kelburn area and has fallen in love with the German bakery and an antique shop.

“I am also looking forward to walking through the Botani-cal Gardens during Summer,” Emma says.PATIENT CARE: Dr Emma Dunning is enjoying being part of

New doctor comes to Kelburn

from Johnsonville, says delays haven’t been too inconvenient, but the reduced parking is a problem.

“I’ve been quite impressed –they’ve been pretty good. The big frustration is the lack of parking.”

Miller was unsure why buses weren’t replacing cancelled

morning trains last week, but suggested they wouldn’t be on time either.

“It would be quicker if they caught the next train,” he says.

This week buses were on standby at the Johnsonville station during peak hours “in case something happens” as a result of the scheduled work.

'Yes Scotland' gathering

A public gathering is being held this Saturday on the green at parliament. Starting from 3pm, all those with an interest in the Scotland referendum are invited to come along and share debate. Bring your � ags and banners - pipe bands welcomed.

The public has had its say on the proposed road linking Gre-nada and Lower Hutt, and do not like what the NZ Transport Agency is proposing.

On September 2, the NZ Transport Agency revealed the opinions of 1415 people who provided feedback, showing that there is no clear preference between two options for extend-ing it through to Transmission Gully.

Key stakeholders such as the Glenside and Grenada progres-sive associations were also consulted.

While there is clear sup-port for the option proposed between Petone and the Crest of the Wellington Escarpment, there is no clear preference for either option between the Escarpment and Tawa or Trans-mission Gully.

One option runs through all sports grounds in Grenada, but the earlier scoping report

is silent on these implications.Many wanted an upgrade of

State Highway 58 over Hay-wards Hill instead of a Petone to Grenada link road.

“Petone to Grenada is just aiming to create a rat run to avoid congestion,” one submit-ter said.

“This has completely dashed our plans to build a retirement home,” a Grenada resident submitted.

NZTA says the Link Road would provide a far safer route than the existing east-west links and reduce journey times by up to 13 minutes.

This would reduce the risk of serious and fatal crashes, unlock new possibilities for economic development, and help to support Wellington’s plans for economic and resi-dential growth.

Transport Agency Wellington Highways Manager Rod James was pleased with the level and quality of submissions.

“We have received over 1400

submissions, which is a great response from the community. Listening to community feed-back has enabled us to develop a strong understanding about what is important to the com-munity.”

“There are understandably concerns about the two pro-posed options to connect the Link Road to State Highway 1 north of Tawa, and…we are taking a very thorough look at this to consider the best way forward.”

A decision on the preferred option for the project is ex-pected later this year.

No consensus on Link Road proposals

Singers from all over Wel-lington will be coming together this Saturday for a special choral performance of Mendelssohn’s oratorio St Paul.

Wellington Cathedral of St Paul’s Jubilee celebrations con-tinue with the performance by The Cathedral Jubilee Chorus, featuring baritone Jared Holt as the Cathedral’s patron saint, the Apostle Paul.

This oratorio begins with the dramatic martyrdom of Stephen, tells the story of the conver-sion on the road to Emmaeus, and Paul and his companion Barnabas’ subsequent mission to spread the Christian message, facing persecution all the way.

Formed especially for the

concert, the choir involves the Cathedral Choir and St Paul’s Chorale joined by singers in the choral community through the Wellington region.

Some are travelling from Palm-erston North and the Wairarapa to take part in an intensive day of rehearsing, as it is a rare opportu-nity to experience Mendelssohn’s wonderful choral masterpiece.

The Cathedral’s Director of Music, Michael Stewart, with Assistant Director of Music Richard Apperley at the Ca-thedral’s organ, is leading the workshop and the early evening performance.

Peter Barnett from Ngaio will be singing this Saturday and says he is looking forward to the event because of the experience shared between the choir.

“You are part of the storytell-ing,” Peter says.

“It’s a lot of hard work but it is a thrill and hearing all those peo-ple singing in harmony together.

“It just lifts you and sends shiv-ers down your spine.”

Judy Berryman from Khandal-lah is also looking forward to the event and says the piece is rarely performed.

“It is inspiring, It is not music till it is performed and brought to life,” Judy says.

“And it is fun singing with other parts on the day and knowing everyone is in the same boat.”

The performance will last just over an hour and a half, and tickets ($15) are available on the door on Saturday, September 13 at 6:30pm, doors open 6pm.

Johnsonville Toy Library would like to invite young fami-lies to their Jungle Preschooler Disco from 3-5pm on September 13 at the Johnsonville Com-munity Centre Hall.

Bring your little animals along

in their fi nest jungle gear, where they can have a dance, get their faces painted, do some crafts, and go wild.

The disco is a fundraising event for the Toy Library, so there will be lots of big toys onsite for your young ones to try out.

The change of season is a great time to join a toy library, giving

you plenty of great options for both indoor and outdoor play with over 500 toys.

The Jungle Preschooler Disco is sponsored by Encore! School of Music, who will be coming along and teaching a few music skills during the disco.

Other sponsors include Caffe L'affare, The Coronation Lodge, Kapai, and the Johnsonville

It is the end of an era for Churton Park Tennis club as Russell Hing stepped down from the role of president this year after 15 years of service.

Jeff Reid, who took over as presi-dent says Russell has been a huge benefi t to the 200 strong club.

“He has done an amazing job,” Jeff says.

A true asset to the community, Russell also volunteers at the SPCA cleaning every Tuesday and has done for the last 10 years, and also volunteers at Zealandia wild life sanctuary.

Current president Jeff Reid says when he heard Russell was an-nouncing he was stepping down, he decided to put his hand up.

He joined the tennis club five years ago and his love for the game has only increased.

“It is a game that can be played at any age and it is great for your fi tness,” Jeff says.

“It is also a great way to meet people. We have a social calendar throughout the year.”

The club caters to both seniors and juniors, and coaches are avail-able to help beginners.

Johnsonville Cricket club is getting ready for the upcoming cricket season and is keen to encourage young people to get involved this summer.

The junior season starts from November and lasts till the end of March with a break for the Christmas holiday season.

Club development offi cer Rick Mudgeway says the Johnson-ville Cricket Club is introducing a number of initiatives to get more young people in the game.

“We had over 200 children in-volved with cricket last season.”

He says the club has focus on quality coaching with all

coaches trained, supported by senior coaches and police vetted.

Rick also says Cricket Wel-lington is also looking at a num-ber of initiatives such as shorter games for younger cricketers.

The club has a focus on devel-oping skills from a younger age

with a Have A Go programmes for younger children and a skills programme in schools.

Rick, who has been involved with the club for 25 years, says cricket as a sport is a great way to keep fi t and healthy, learn new skills and to be part of a team environment.

TOO MANY DRUGSFor many people the answer to any ailment

comes in the form of a pill. But do drugs make us healthier? The USA consumes the most pharmaceuticals per capita, yet they are way down the list of healthiest nations.

There are three major objections to the widespread use of pharmaceuticals used as painkillers and anti-inflammatories:1) they are not as effective as people assume2) the side-effects of the drugs are not emphasised as much as they should be3) they do not address the cause of the problem

We have been sold the idea that symptoms are bad and we should get rid of them. This is the message we hear over and over when we see medications advertised on TV and in other ways. We see scientists in white lab coats mixing beakers of coloured liquids and we are informed that research has produced evidence showing that drug ‘X’ effectively minimises or eliminates symptom ‘Y’.

A recent article in ‘The Guardian’ shed light on the effectiveness of a common painkiller, explaining that it was no more effective than a placebo. “Paracetamol does not help to relieve lower back pain despite it being a commonly prescribed treatment, according to new research.” Read about this on our facebook page, www.facebook.com/

Kellychiropracticwellington.The side effects of drugs are often in fine print

at the end of the commercial, as if they are not important. However, the side-effects, especially from repeated use of these drugs can cause significant damage.

A recent article in the NZ Herald stated “Researchers from the UK and Canada say Voltaren should be pulled off the market because it raises the risk of heart attack and stroke.” See our facebook page for the full article.

My biggest objection to painkillers and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs is that they don’t address the cause of the problem. Many people do not think to what could be causing the symptoms in the first place. In many situations, appropriately dealing with the cause of the problem will prevent the symptoms coming back or at least minimise them.

If you get repetitive headaches and you just swallow painkillers every time you get one, you run the risk of ignoring or minimising the cause of the headaches. One cause of headaches is the mal-position or improper function of the bones in your neck which is why headaches and neck aches often go together. Chiropractors call this condition vertebral subluxation. It is very important to seek the cause of your problem, rather than simply remove the signs and symptoms of a potentially serious problem.

If you use anti-inflammatories to remove the inflammation, you are taking away an essential part of the healing process. Often people see the swollen joint and think that this is the problem, and the solution is to remove the swelling. They conclude that anti-inflammatories are the answer to the problem. This thought pattern is rife in modern medicine, “I have symptoms, I don't want them, I will take drugs to make me better”. The underlying assumption is that they will become healthier by taking the drugs. In actuality, they are helping their body to feel better, not to function better.

Chiropractors recognise that the body is both self-regulating and self-healing. We would rather people allow the body to do its job. Rather than take anti-inflammatories, we suggest people use a natural rehabilitation approach.

If you sprain your back or neck, you will need to start by decreasing the amount of activity, but quickly introduce stretching. When you sprain one or more of the joints in your spine, especially if you have done it severely or repetitively, you can develop functional problems in the vertebrae, chiropractors call this "vertebral subluxation". So when you sprain your back and neck, it is wise to seek the help of a chiropractor to help you regain proper function.

THE NEXT CHAPTER

Brian graduated as a chiropractor in 1974 from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Iowa, USA. He returned to Wellington with a passion to give people the opportunity to better health through natural chiropractic care. He was confident that he could help people get healthier in a way traditional medicine couldn't, without the use of drugs and surgery. He had learnt the philosophy, science and art of chiropractic and he was eager to start work.

He began working as a chiropractor in Porirua with Richard Cheyne."It was great to help people experience less back pain or neck ache, but to see changes in overall health was incredibly rewarding. Day after day patients

kept telling me about all the amazing changes in their health."

In 1978 Brian was ready to go out on his own. He bought a building in Helston Road, Johnsonville, that was being used as a medical practice and worked there for 25 years while he brought up a family of six children with his wife Diana.

Brian had such passion for his job that it influenced two of his children to become chiropractors. David graduated from the NZ College of Chiropractic in 1999 and began working in Wanganui before moving to Dublin, Ireland to continue his chiropractic career.

The two of them had often talked about working together and so began working on a plan to build a purpose built practice. Their vision and planning culminated in a large new practice at 13 Helston Road,

right next door to Brian's previous practice. The size of the practice allowed them both to work there, as well as hosting many talks on chiropractic and other aspects of natural health.

After 40-years practicing as a chiropractor, Brian calculates he has seen over 10,000 patients.

He still loves being a chiropractor and caring for his patients but has decided to dedicate more of his time to his other passions: his wife, his grandchildren his photography and golf.

A new chapter of Kelly Chiropractic began in July when Brian and David opened their fresh, new practice, at 12 Moorefield Road. This is where Pacific Radiology was housed. Brian is excited about the future as there are still too many people suffering who could be helped with chiropractic care.

Wellington City Council has ap-proved eight special housing areas (SHAs) and qualifying develop-ment criteria under the Wellington Housing Accord at its meeting on August 27.

Many areas are in Wellington’s northern suburbs.

Areas include Johnsonville me-dium-density residential areas, Thorndon, and the greenfi eld areas of Stebbings Valley near Churton Park and Lincolnshire Farm in Woodridge.

Approval of the SHAs will al-low the Council to apply special planning and consenting powers to qualifying developments under the Housing Accord once they have government approval.

Currently, Wellington is building fewer homes than is needed to meet the forecast population growth. Also homes on average now cost more than fi ve times the median salary, whereas an affordable home

is considered as one of three times the media salary.

Northern ward councillor Justin Lester, who also chairs the council’s Governance, Finance and Planning Committee, says the proposed SHAs will provide a mix of low, medium and high-density housing.

“It’s expected that development will continue to concentrate in the SHAs and will be sped up by the incentives package. We’re very conscious that the growth areas will also need appropriate infrastructure investment to reflect increasing local populations,” he says.

Johnsonville Community Associa-tion President Graeme Sawyer says the accord won’t achieve anything signifi cant as land is too expensive and cheap high density housing on small sections is not what the area needs.

The accord was signed at Chur-ton Park in June by Mayor Celia Wade-Brown and Housing Minister Nick Smith. It aims to fast track thousands of homes in the area.

Special housing areas approved in northern suburbs By Laura Kavanagh

The House of Grace based in Newlands is expanding its services further afield with plans to set up a second home in the Waikato.

Founding director Treena van Rijssel says it was the fi rst step in a nationwide plan.

“Providing more homes throughout New Zealand will give pregnant teenagers with little or no support an opportunity to carry through with their pregnancy.”

The House of Grace is a home for pregnant teens, where women from all walks of life come to live, learn, prepare for childbirth, and make plans for the future.

Treena and husband Marcus started the House of Grace in Wellington in 2001 to provide support, accommodation and teaching for pregnant teens.

“New Zealand has one of the highest teen-age pregnancy rates in the de-veloped world, with about 50 teenage girls in every 1000 falling preg-

nant,” Treena says.She says the House of Grace

is not a quick fi x solution.“It's about doing everyday

life with others, providing support, wise counsel and offering a new direction,” she says.

“When a young mum decid-ed to change the course of her life and experiences success early on, hope springs forth and a bright future suddenly becomes reality for herself and her child.”

The Hamilton home would be modelled off the Wel-lington one, with live-in house parents and room to

accommodate four

mothers and their babies.“We feel the Waikato is an

area where there is no facility or service for pregnant teenag-ers where they can choose to follow through with their pregnancy and be equipped and empowered to parent successfully.

House mother Fiona Collins says it is exciting to see what is possible for the women and their children.

“It is about teaching life skills and parenting skills so they can have a great future,” Fiona says.

“Watching the girls grow, it is just beautiful.”

The opening of the new home is set for 2015.

As a pain specialist my job is to fi nd where people’s pain originates. Once the source of pain is found advice can be specifi c to the root cause. One of the problems with pain that is present for a long time is that pain spreads. Pain from the neck spreads into the head causing headache, it can spread down the back of the shoulder blade and even down the arm and hand.

Think back to the Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) epidemic of the 1990s. People experienced

pain in their arms from using a keyboard. The keyboard was often blamed, however the pain felt in peoples’ arms was referred from the neck. Lots of treatment was aimed at the arms without signifi cant benefi t.

Most headaches are also re-ferred from the neck, however almost every patient I see with headache or migraine has had a scan of their head but scans of their neck. The mystery of pain will be solved a lot quicker with some lateral thinking.

This picture shows where pain originating from the neck can spread to (Taken from “Fix Your Neck, Headache and Migraine” due for release in November 2014 – with permission from the publisher).

What happens when pain spreads?

I’ve worked in Police, the justice sector and Parliament for thirteen years to help solve problems within New Zealand’s communities. I know how to get things done when it counts.

I am married, a stepmother and a mother of four. We’re a busy family and I know the pressures families come un-der these days. With grocery prices, power bills and the cost of childcare always on the up, it can be hard to get ahead.

I am asking for your vote this election because these things mat-ter to me. I want my kids to grow up in a New Zealand that cares. It’s time Ohariu had a strong advocate in Parliament who puts people fi rst.

Candidates

As your MP, my role is to rep-resent the diverse interests of the Ohariu electorate, the place that has been home for my family for most of our lives.

I know how to advocate for, and achieve results on behalf of Ohariu and its people, because I am experienced in government, having been privileged to serve as Minister on four separate oc-casions.

Through my electorate offi ces, I have also been able to help literally thousands of local people over the years, on matters such as immigra-tion, ACC, tax and many other

I am standing for monet a r y refor m. Currently our govern-ment pays $10 million every day in interest ($60 billion national debt) for money that was created out of thin air. Our (independent) Reserve Bank stood by while private banks created over $160 bil-lion ($160 billion of debt) between 2002 – 2012 and most of that fuelled a housing bub-ble which continues to be very profi table for banks. As a customer, I don’t want to bail out my bank under the Reserve Bank’s Open Bank Resolution. Even Martin Wolf, chief

issues. I am active in our local community – in fact, many have said I put the “local” into being the local MP – and am a familiar face to our local schools, com-munity groups and sports clubs.

I am seeking your support to continue being a strong local voice for Ohariu in Parliament and its effective voice in govern-ment.

I grew up in Porirua, attending Porirua East School, Titahi Bay In-termediate School and Mana College.

My parents taught me that life is what you make of it and that hard work and commitment drive success. My fa-ther was a Ministerial chauffeur, working 18 hour days to provide for the family to get ahead. My mother worked at the Jantzen Swimwear factory in Tawa, under a bonus system which rewarded hard work and quality output.

I am standing for the Na-tional Party because I be-lieve that a strong economy is fundamental to raising incomes and prosperity across society and is essen-tial to being able to afford the social services Kiwis value.

The biggest issue for all New Zealand-ers, including Ohariu residents, is the rise of poverty and the in-creasing gap between the rich and the poor. Food prices, utilities and housing are be-coming more and more expensive. People are working harder and harder just to provide the basics to their families and I believe our quality of life is suffering.

Ngaire is a now mother of six children and has been married for 23 years. She’s been a successful small busi-ness owner for 18 years and contributed to her local community.

This issue we pro� le the Ohariu and Te Tai Tonga electorate candidates. Pro� les for Michael Brunner (Conservative) for Ohariu and Geor-gina Beyer (Mana Movement) for Te Tai Tonga could not be received in time for publication.

Te Tai Tonga

Ngaire Button was an elected Christch-urch City Councillor for nine years. She was also the Deputy Mayor (2010-2013) during the devastating earthquakes (2010-2011) and at the beginning of the rebuild phase.

As a City Councillor, she was responsible for social housing, long term planning, disaster recov-ery research and strategy development. She was also Chair of the Safer Christchurch Network.

Ngaire understands what it is like to struggle from fi rst hand experi-ence, having raised her first two children as a very young single mum.

I’m married with three kids, and have lived in Johnsonville for eight years. I work in Civil Defence, and I’m a major in the Army Reserve. I’m asking you to party vote Green in this election, so that we can have a cleaner environment, a fairer society and a smarter economy.

Poverty is a major issue afflicting New Zealand, and it af-fects us all. Having a job is not enough, many of those strug-gling to survive are working long hours on low wages. Our rivers are dirty, and

Tane Woodley,Greens

our economy is based on low-value resources.

The Greens will raise the minimum wage, insulate houses, ensure children are fed and re-ceive free medical care. We will invest in R&D to fi nd new products to export. Our carbon tax cut will reduce emis-sions and give all earners a tax cut. For a smarter, cleaner, fairer New Zea-land, party vote Green this election.

For a cleaner, fairer, smarter New Zealand, Party Vote Green.

Working as a Student Sup-port Advisor at Te Wananga o Aotearoa, I see daily education transforming whanau. That’s why I support the Green Party’s ‘Schools at the Heart’ policy.

Ensuring children aren’t hun-gry and have free access to primary health care removes the barriers too many of our children face. A great educa-tion is the best way to ensure that our tamariki thrive.

My vision for Aotearoa is

Dora Roimata Langsbury,Green Party

a bicultural place where all our children’s children can korero in te reo. For an Aotearoa where all our children thrive, Party Vote Green.

For more great Green policy: www.greens.org.nz You can vote early now at the universities, most libraries and community centres – and enrol at the same time, phone 0800 36 76 56 to fi nd out more. Party Vote Green this election.

CandidatesOhariu and Te Tai Tonga Electorate candidatesThis issue we pro� le the Ohariu and Te Tai Tonga election candidates. Pro� les for Michael Brunner (Conservative) for Ohariu and Geor-gina Beyer (Mana Movement) for Te Tai Tonga could not be received in time for publication.

Hahona lives in Burwood, Christchurch where he works in the meat packing industry.

As the representative for Te Tai Tonga, Hahona will work towards reforming our money system so that, instead of money going to overseas bankers, it is used for the benefi t of all New Zealanders to provide housing, education, roads, rail and a strong health system.

Hahona stands for a guaran-teed basic income for everyone, to lessen the gap between rich and poor and to ensure that every family has enough money

Hahona Rakiraki Tamiti,Democrats for Social Credit

to provide good food, a dry home, warm clothes, health care and education.

Hahona also wants to see Binding Citizens’ Initiated Referenda, so that if the majority of New Zea-landers support a change, the result of that referendum would become law, and the right for the people to recall a Member of Parliament who is not acting in the best interest of their electorate.

Ko Aoraki te maun-ga , Ko Arahura te awa pounamu, Ko Te Waipounamu taku tua-papa, Ko Rino Tirikatene ahau.

I’m a son of the south. Te Tai Tonga is part of my whakapapa – Wellington is where I’ve grown up and live. I built my career in Maori development: from commercial law to business consult-ing. But working with our people was more than a job, it was a passion. A passion that has strengthened my belief in job creation, education and Maori self-suffi ciency.

Rino Tirikatene, Labour Party

I’m a father; I want our children to grow up in Aotearoa where everyone gets a fair go. The Labour Party core values and Kau-papa Maori are aligned. These values have been an important part in my whanau and home life.

I’m proud to be seeking another term as your MP for Te Tai Tonga

I would like to be a true voice of the people and represent all iwi in Te Tai Tonga electorate. We need to provide safe access to life saving Cannabis treatments for those who are suffering here in New Zealand. I have found that two of the biggest issues for Te Tai Tonga is Health and Employment.

I believe in creating long term sustainable, eco friendly, carbon neu-tral jobs for whanau and utilising Maori land to

develop Industrial Hemp Manufacturing of energy effi cient, sustainable building materials.

I support utilising the many health benefi ts of Hemp and Cannabis. Health foods made from Hemp are rich in Ome-ga’s 3, 6 & 9 great for growing children’s brain development.

The Aotearoa Legalise Can-nabis Party exists to legalise cannabis for recreational, spir-itual, medicinal and industrial purposes; to empower people to work together for peace and true justice.

Zeal Education Trust has won the Supreme Winner of the 2014 Wellington Airport Regional Community Awards for Wellington City.

The awards, presented at a ceremony hosted by Mayor Celia Wade-Brown at the St James on Thursday, September 5, acknowledge the inspira-tional contribution of voluntary and non-profi t organisations to Wellington.

The awards are sponsored by Wellington International Airport in partnership with the Wellington Community Trust.

For 15 years Zeal Education Trust has operated an inner city youth venue and contributed to both the social and cultural

infrastructure of Wellington.Key activities organised by

Review by Laura Kavanagh

A public reading of an unproduced screenplay about the death of Walt Disney is a work of fi ction on the private life of Walt Disney.

In the play, Walt, played by David McPhail, has written a script about his life leading to his death involving his brother Roy (Nick Blake), his son-in-law Ron (Richard Falkner) and his daughter ( Jessica Robinson).

But as Walt fi nds out, the ‘actors’ in his screenplay do not quite keep

to the script that he has written for them.

I have been a fan of David McPhail from seeing him on the small screen so the opportunity to see him per-form on stage was something I was looking forward to.

The small cast did an amazing job bringing the characters and script to life.

The script is unusual in that it is full of short sentences and excla-mations, but when spoken it has a beautiful rhythm to it.

It is a credit to the actors who were able to maintain the momentum throughout the play, especially David who speaks for the majority of the time.

In the role of Walt Disney, David is captivating. His portrayal of a dying man desperate to be remembered was almost quite hard to watch sometimes.

It is a play that relies almost en-tirely on dialogue in its conventions but is a beautiful telling of the tale about the man behind Mickey.

Churton Park local Andrew Robinson has led his team to an undefeated season claiming a fifth consecu-tive title for the Marist St Pats under 85kg team, defeating Tawa in Kilbirnie in the fi nal. Andrew says his strong bond with his players and the love for the game is what drives the team to succeed. “We have a fantastic group of guys and we have a lot of fun. I am also really pas-sionate about rugby and winning games defi nitely helps.”Andrew was initially play-ing for this team but he was unable to continue playing after a shoulder injury.

Despite this, the vacancy of head coach was open so he decided take this on instead. He began coaching the team in 2006 and the fi rst four years was tough for him as t he team came runners-up three times. It was disheartening for him to be so close to win-ning and he was “pretty close to giving it away”. H o w e ve r, h e h a s n o w focused on enjoying the season with his players and this has paid off as the team has only lost one game in three years and was undefeated in the 2012 and 2014 seasons. “I am not as worried about winning that last game anymore. It’s more about enjoying the season and

having fun with the guys. At the end of the day, only one team wins and you can’t be too hung up on winning one particular game.” It also helps that his play-ers are equally as commit-ted as he is. “The guys have set a high standard now. They know how hard to train to win those games. They know now what it feels like to win and it is a very special feeling.”After nine years of coach-ing the under 85kg grade, Andrew is not ready to let go yet. “Nine years is a big commitment and my wife wants me to give it a break but I love the guys and will continue to coach them.”

It was a fi erce game of rugby during the Turley Young Cup but Sacred Heart Cathedral School Thorndon was too strong for the St Teresa’s Karori team, winning 59-12.

The two teams squared off on September 2 at St Patrick’s Town Kilbirnie.

Sacred Heart was off to a good start through a try from Samuel Crisp.

A few more tries followed for Sacred Heart which were set up by Bede Carr and Mar-cas Simmons-Godinet, but St Teresa’s heads were still up hunting for their fi rst try.

Soon enough they were re-warded with a try for their courageous efforts.

St Teresa’s gave Sacred Heart a much harder run in the second half, conceding less tries and scoring once more.

One player broke the defensive line successfully, enabling him to score underneath the posts with an easy conversion.

Although St Teresa’s had a much better second half, Sacred

Heart had one last blast scoring a couple of very quick tries and some exceptional kicking from Ben Baker and Taine Rees-Temarama.

The after match function was held at St Patrick’s Town, they provided food and drink which all the boys appreciated.

The rector of Saint Patrick’s Town Neil Swindells spoke to the players, then the man of the

match awards were given out. For St Teresa’s it was Moses

who played a great game and tackled well. For Sacred Heart it was Samuel who also had a great game and scored three tries.

A big thank you must go to the teachers and parents from both schools for their coaching and support.
