Plunket summer safety
Summer is approaching and it’s important to stay safe in the sun and Plunket has a few tips for protecting your children from sunburn.
Make sure your children are always wearing a wide brim or collared hat.
Use sunscreen on the exposed parts of the body and ask your pharmacist what sunscreen is right for your child and keep children’s eyes shaded from the sun.
Plunket says stay safe, and have fun in the sun this summer.
Jump site warning remains
January will see the jump platform at the Taranaki Street wharf com-mence its remediation work.
A warning sign has been put in place since February after there were concerns of water contamination.
The jump will be enclosed with plastic sheet baffl es to divert the con-taminated water away from the area.
Medical Offi cer of Health, Dr Ste-phen Palmer says its unfortunate another solution couldn’t be found before the school holidays.
The work will be completed in February.
By Nikki PapatsoumasAfter almost a decade of preparation,
the Wellington SPCA has finally made the move to its new home - the old Fever Hospital in Mount Victoria.
Yesterday was the day of the big move, with all animals being transported to the new site and the SPCA is now fully func-tioning from its home on Alexandra Road.
Between 100 and 200 animals were trans-ported at various times throughout the day, depending on the care they needed, to keep the move as stress free for them as possible.
In the lead up to the move staff also tried to place as many animals as possible into foster homes.
The new premise has three functional areas, the hospital, an animal adoption area and a community wing.
Marketing and Fundraising manager Mark Collyns says the focus is not to care for more animals, it’s to provide more services and be more accessible to the public.
He says the idea is to make it a destination for a day out, where the community can come in and see animals in a less stressful environment.
It will also provide a much better teaching facility for students who come through and they will run various animal welfare courses.
“We can impact animal welfare through training and education, we want to be a place where this education starts and then fi lters out into the community.”
The new site has more space for cats and dogs, and will also have a café, where visitors can view animals exhibiting their
natural behaviour.An army of volunteers have spent time
working on getting the new site ready, and Wellington SPCA CEO Iain Torrence says this has helped to connect the building with the community.
“These volunteers have saved us a fortune, it’s great. They can bring in their families and say they helped make this happen.
“It is getting the community connected to the building.”
They still need to fundraise $1 million for the move, and Iain says they are hoping a large part of this sum will come from the sale of their old Mansfi eld Street site in Newtown.
The Wellington SPCA has their open day planned for Waitangi Day, Thursday February 6.

Environmental effect a concern for residents
By Nikki PapatsoumasThe Strathmore Park Com-
munity Centre is happy to announce it has a new coor-dinator.
Kenney-Jean Sidwell came on as community coordinator four weeks ago, and says she is excited to see the place buzzing again.
The Strathmore Park Com-munity Centre has gone through a lot of change over the last couple of years.
When the Miramar Com-munity Centre did not have a board to govern it, the Strathmore Park Commu-nity Base Inc, which runs the Strathmore Centre, was asked to oversee both centres.
Kenney-Jean says it was a lot of work for the small group of volunteers to manage both centres in different communi-ties, and for this reason the two centres once again split
in 2012.After the split the Strathmore
centre went for 10 months without a coordinator, and was instead run by volunteers that make up the governing board.
“They have done the best they could with what they have, but it has become tired,” Kenney-Jean says.
After applying for council funding, they had the oppor-tunity to hire Kenney-Jean, who now mans the centre for 20 hours each week.
She says she is excited to give the centre a new lease of life, and restore it so it can once again run as the heart of the community.
She has spent her time so far de-cluttering the hall to make it more user friendly, while beginning to work on organising community events and services.
“We would love to see

groups that are from Strathmore using this place for people from Strathmore.
“The potential is amazing, I love it.”
The Strathmore Park Commu-
nity Centre is open from Monday to Friday from 9.30am to 1.30pm.
They have now closed down over the Christmas and New Year period, and will re-open on January 17.
By Nikki PapatsoumasHoughton Bay residents are
concerned about the envi-ronmental effects a proposed sub-division may have on their community.
Kaikoura View Ltd has recently applied for a resource consent which would see 13 new dwellings erected at 215 Houghton Bay Road.
Currently leachate, which is liquid that drains from a landfill, from an old valley under the landfi ll mixes with storm water and fl ows onto the beach at Houghton Bay.
This has been causing on-going issues with the local environment for over 30 years.
Residents are concerned that the addition of storm-water and sewage from this subdivi-
sion will potentially make this problem even worse.
Houghton Bay resident Cor-al Hyam says the residents’ major concern is the impact these dwellings will have on the environment.
“There is a system which is meant to collect the sewage and storm water and leachate is meant to go into that, which isn’t working properly.
“Our fear is that 13 extra households means two million litres of extra water coming into the system every year, and the system doesn’t work as it is.
“We feel very strongly about it, we have been trying to get this leachate of the beach for over 30 years and now it looks like a situation where it will
be expanded, not dealt with.”She says residents are also
concerned that resource con-sent is currently going through as un-notifi ed public consent.
“We are concerned that planners who work for the council have the right to ap-prove it without liaising with the community.”
However Wellington City Council spokesperson Clayton Anderson says the application is currently being processed and a call on notifi cation is yet to be made.
He says management and treatment options are also now in place to deal with the problem of leachate on Houghton Bay beach.
This includes diverting the dry weather base flow into
the waste water network and control of leachate fl ow in the storm water pipe by a weir arrangement.
There will also be a monthly monitoring of weir overfl ows and storm water outlets as well as removing encrustation growth in the storm water pipe which involves fl ushing the pipeline on an an-nual basis or more frequently if required.

By Nikki PapatsoumasThe Wellington City Mission
was able to make Christmas merrier for families in need thanks to a generous donation from New Zealand Pork.
Last Wednesday New Zea-land Pork Chief Executive Owen Symmans presented Michelle Branney from the City Mission with 75 Christ-mas Hams.
Mr Symmans says they have had a long association with the Mission since their annual Bacon and Ham competition began in 2008.
“All the product that comes in for the competition, we donate it to the City Mission, it has been a long association with New Zealand Bacon and Ham.”
He says it is great to be able to help out over the Christ-
mas season because for some families to have a ham at Christmas is beyond their means.
These hams will help to make up some of 100 hampers that will be given to clients the Mission has worked with over the year.
“These are people that we know very well, we know they have no money spare for Christmas and would have a very ordinary Christmas otherwise, says Michelle.
“These houses are bare, they have no toys, no real Christmas. Because we work with these people so closely we know their situation.”
The hampers will include everything for the Christmas table, such as meat, tinned fruit, jelly and Christmas crackers.

By Anneka PaulDevelopment of the South
Coast Kids Bike Track in Island Bay has fl own by - it took just four days to complete.
Track diggers Mathew Walker and Jeff Carter completed the track earlier this month.
The South Coast Kids Bike Track is a parent driven project which allows kids to learn basic off-road bike skills in a safe environment.
Organising group member, Kether Gati says it was only last summer that some parents in Island Bay had expressed their concerns for the lack of biking tracks nearby.
“The time has fl own,” Kether says.
The construction of the track on the corner of Dover Street and Adelaide Road in Island Bay, took nine months to gain full support from the community and the Wellington City Council.
Dover Street residents had initial concerns about being mis-informed about the project but after apologies were made and a meeting was held, Kether says
local residents are supportive of the project.
“A local resident came by the other day saying how much her grandchildren had enjoyed play-ing on the track,” he says.
“The kid’s keenness to have a track to ride has kept the ball rolling.”
The Facebook site, "South Coast Kids Track - Island Bay" received 300 likes in support of the project, months before construction began.
The council and Trail Fund have helped to fund the $4000 project and Kether says they have remained within budget.
However more funds will have to be fundraised for the project to match the ongoing maintenance costs.
Although the main track’s con-struction is complete, signage, earth remodeling, planting and track modifications are yet to come.
Kether says once the dust settles down and the track “beds in,” the track will become “a part of our wonderful South Coast community”.

Cycleway plan on hold
The Wellington City Council an-nounced a $4.3m budget this month to improve some of Wellington’s cycle ways.
This budget is three times as much as the $1.3m budget for the previous year.
Island Bay was forecast to receive an improved cycle way to the CBD from 2014 to 2015.
However, Cycling Advocates Net-work, spoeksman Patrick Morgan says he has some concerns after at-tending last week’s council meeting.
“I was underwhelmed by aspects of the staff ’s presentation,” he says.
Councillor Andy Foster says the Council are determined to make Wellington a more bike friendly city.
Brooklyn’s Adopt a Pet returns for the New Year
The Wellington SPCA will hold its fi rst Adopt a Pet for the New Year at the Brooklyn Community Centre.
The event will be held on Saturday January 4 in the centre lounge from midday to 3pm.
The SPCA will have a selection of cats and kittens to fi nd a new home.
Hospice on Christmas list
Marry Potter Hospice received a $6,000 Christmas gift from ANZ last week to provide for medical care, therapies and family support.
Instead of buying bottles of wine for banking clients, ANZ chose to donate money to charity.
ANZ Chief Operating Offi cer, Craig Sims says he is happy to do good for the community.
Hospice spokesman, Graham Ford says a quarter of Wellingtonian’s are connected to the Hospice so the donation will “touch many lives.”

PUSH PLAY IN YOURNEIGHBOURHOOD

Earlier this month the Carrara Park Community School Art Pro-ject was offi cially opened.
The project saw two local schools, South Wellington Intermediate School and Berhampore Montessori School, paint art work on to panels which have now been hung along the Carrara Park Alleyway.
It is hoped the art will help to deter tagging and vandalism, which has been a problem around the suburb, while also encouraging local chil-dren to participate in art.
The project has been coordinated by David Wilcock from the New-town Business Association and he says the project came about around three years ago, when there were discussions in the community
around supporting an art project in Milward Lane.
The idea was to have students paint art work in the alleyway, to deter tagging and vandalism and brighten up an area that was previously seen as negative to visit.
David approached South Wel-lington Intermediate School art teacher Rea Ropiha with the idea of engaging school children, and encouraging them to participate in art.
This Milward Lane project proved so successful it was also implement-ed in the Carrara Park Alleyway.
David says it is great to have local school children producing art that can be erected in areas around Newtown.
“It gives the community an oppor-tunity to be engaged in contributing to an art project that is innovative and can be shared and appreciated by the rest of the community.
“It will leave a legacy that can be appreciated by the community in years to come.”
The project was offi cially opened by Mayor Celia Wade-Brown who was accompanied by Deputy Mayor Justin Lester.
She commented on the positive effect the art work had on the community and how the children should be proud of themselves for contributing to the art project for all the community to benefi t from.

By Anneka PaulWhitireia Journalism StudentBuilding is finally about to
begin on vacant land at 11 Ven-nell Street, in Brooklyn, after a fi ve-year process which locals say has excluded the public.
New owners and social hous-ing developers, the Wellington Housing Trust, began preparing to build four new homes this month.
Deciding what the site would be used for has been an issue for the residents of Vogeltown, Mornington and the Brooklyn.
Brooklyn Residents Associa-tion secretary, Carl Savage says the Wellington City Council consultation process excluded residents.
“We were more than somewhat surprised by how things tran-spired,” Carl says.
“It was only in the last 12 months or so we became aware that the council and housing trust had actually got to a stage of a contract to purchase the land and build on it.”
However, Wellington City Council senior communications advisor Richard MacLean says
the council gave the public the chance to make submissions on the proposal for the trust to purchase the land in May 2011 through an advertisement in the Dominion Post newspaper.
He says only fi ve submissions were received.
The fi nal decision to sell the land to the trust was publicly notifi ed six months later.
The property was originally purchased by the council to accommodate its CitiOperations business until 2005.
Brooklyn Residents Associa-tion president Simon McLellan says the process was not held in the open, and he challenges what the council understands as “public notifi cation”.
“We feel wrong-footed that public land was sold without a fair and reasonable understand-ing. It is clear to me that a process was chosen to have the public excluded.”
In 2008 it was decided the land would be disposed of and a meeting was held with the Vogelmorn Tennis club and the
Construction has commenced on the Vennell Street property in Brooklyn.
Vogelmorn Residents Associa-tion.
The Council suggested resi-dents voice their concerns in a formal proposal but no action was taken.
The land designation was changed from a public open space to a residential space in 2010.
Wellington Housing Trust director Alison Cadman says they met with local residents to discuss their issues and con-cerns.
“They seem to have issues with the land being sold,” Alison says.
“We have tried hard to let as many organisations as possible
know about the project.”The trust is still communicat-
ing with local groups to inform them that construction will be starting in January.
The trust provides housing to suit low and moderate income families in the Wellington re-gion.

By Nikki PapatsoumasScott and Malcolm Kennedy-Vaughan,
owners of Scotty and Mal’s Cocktail and Lounge Bar on Cuba Street, have been donating Christmas presents to worthy charities for nearly a decade.
They began by donating to Barnardos, and soon after began to donate to the Womens Refuge.
Each year the pair set up a Facebook page, where they ask past and current clients to donate cash or presents for the refuge.
They then use the donated money to buy presents for children and mothers who use Womens Refuge services.
CEO for the Womens Refuge Heather Henare says their contribution over the years
has been fantastic.“It just keeps getting bigger and better
every year. The whole community of the bar gets behind it and everyone contributes, it is just amazing.”
She says the presents will be distributed to the refuges across the Wellington region, to be given to their clients.
“These guys have been great at listening to what we need. We have teenagers, and young men and women that need things that aren’t a cuddly toy and they make a special effort to include them.
“It is also great to have support from the gay and lesbian community, they realise it is a really important issue for the whole community.”

EFKS A’oga Amata in Newtown had a graduation and end of year celebra-tion last Thursday.
Spokesperson Feauai Amos Burgess says it is a great opportunity to cel-ebrate the childrens’ time at the centre.
“It is a celebration and party for the children, there has been great input from the parents.”
A’oga Amata is an early childhood centre for young children between the age of six months and fi ve years old.
Established in 1985, it was initially for enrolments from Samoan families who used Samoan as their preferred language at home, and who were not using mainstream early childhood services in their communities.
However current trends mean they are responding to the changing needs of families associated with the service and they have since changed their philosophy and now run as a bilingual centre.
Congratulations to Selina Afamiliona, Trya Tuiavii, Kaiserina Papali’I, Visilia Sio, Alyssa Fa’aea, Anesi Taliau, Izaiah Young-Tasola, Gabriel Vaefa Aukusitino who have all graduated from A’oga Amata in Newtown.

MINUTES WITH: Santa
What is your favourite food?
What makes you smile?
Kids behaving themselves, the smile on their face when they get what they want and spend-ing time with Mrs Claus.
What’s your pet hate?
Kids who have been naughty not nice, and when Rudolph leaves a present of his own on my front lawn.
Your favourite holiday destination?
Barbados, so I can work on my tan. But Mrs Claus and I also love to park up my sleigh along the southern coast and take in the wonderful view.
What’s your favourite music?
Mariah Carey’s All I want for Christmas Is You and I’m enjoying a bit of Michael Buble at the moment.
What is one thing Cook Strait News readers would be surprised to know about you?
I like to go away on holiday to the South Pole in the off sea-son. The change of scenery relaxes me.
Milk and cookies as delivering millions of presents is hard work. A bit of Christmas ham doesn’t go a miss either.
What’s next on your wish list?
A new sack, the other one is a bit worn out because there are so many good kids around the world.
A saying you like to live by?
“Let us be grateful to the people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.” - Proust. And of course, Ho ho ho and Merry Christmas.
All the reindeer, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy and Mrs Claus - she wouldn’t be happy if I left her off the list.
Who would you invite to dinner?

A nationwide project aimed at making rental housing safer for children, students and the elderly to live in is to start with ‘warrant of fi tness’ fi eld tests next month.
Field trials will be carried out on 125 rental properties in Wellington, Auckland, Tauranga, Christchurch and Dunedin from January.
Although these fi eld tests will not
result in the issue of Warrant of Fitness’ for these properties, it is an important step towards ensuring the credibility of the scheme.
The fi eld tests will be made up of an assessment which uses 28 criteria and follows an associated checklist and technical manual.
The assessment criteria includes whether properties have insulation,
are watertight and a fi xed form of safe and effective heating.
This assessment aims to identify whether the rental property meets basic housing quality standards that impact on warmth, dryness, mould and dampness, injury risk, sanitation, basic state of repair and basic living needs.
Results from the fi eld tests will be
published in March.Wellington Mayor Celia Wade-
Brown says too many people live in cold, damp housing.
“It’s bad for health and productiv-ity. We want children, students and older people to have warm, dry and safe homes.”
Building Portfolio Leader and Wellington City Councillor Iona
Pannett says a rental warrant of fi tness is an innovative tool that will benefi t both landlords and people looking to rent.
“Landlords will be able to attract good tenants more easily and rent-ers will be given information on whether a property meets a good standard or not before they sign the dotted line.”

Lighting up the streetsWith Christmas just around the corner Wellington
home owners have been getting into the spirit, turning their homes into Christmas trees for all to see. The Cook Strait News spotted these gems in Wellington’s southern and eastern suburbs.
A house on Avon Street in Island BayA house on Salek Street in Rongotai.
By Anneka PaulThe New Year will bring
a new look for the Brooklyn Community Centre Hall.
Work has begun on the centre’s new fl oor, and will be one of the many up-grades to happen over the next year.
The centre’s hall has closed its doors for sanding and resurfacing work on its wooden fl oor as a part of the centre’s upgrade.
The hall will be closed until Friday December 27 while the resurfacing work is carried out by ACE Flooring.
The closure will allow enough time for the fl oor varnish to harden and the toxic fumes to dispel before the hall is re-opened for the school holiday programme to begin on January 6.
Brooklyn Community Centre coordinator, Euan Harris has recognized the need for the upgrade.
“It’s something that should have happened long ago,” he says.
Already, the centre hall had its fluorescent lights refitted with new covers for extra protection and a modern look, while its rotting timber windows are still being replaced with aluminum metal.
Their next project will be the addition of an emergen-cy water tank adjacent to the Brooklyn Community Centre playground, which will be installed next week.
Euan says the size of the tank will not be a disrup-tion to the children’s play-ground.
The Wellington City
Council and Capacity In-frastructure Services have a joint project to install 40 emergency water tanks around the Wellington region over the next four years.
The Brooklyn Com-munity Centre will host a 25,000 litre water tank. This will contribute to the 1.25 million litre total of emergency water supply needed in Wellington.
Another Brooklyn Com-munity Centre led upgrade in recent months has been the installation of a wheel-chair access ramp at the Vogelmorn hall.
The Brooklyn Commu-nity Centre will also be installing a new ventilation and heating system by win-ter next year..

Nestled in the heart of New Zealand’s movie-making capital, Miramar, Wellington, The Roxy Cinema is one of the city’s leading attractions.
Quite simply, The Roxy has brought back the romance and magic of cinema to New Zealand.
The Roxy Cinema opened its doors on 1 April 2011 after an extensive $6 million rebuild. The cinema began life as The Capitol Theatre in 1928, before being converted into a shopping mall, Capitol Court, in the late 1960s.
In its new guise as The Roxy Cinema the complex now houses two luxurious state-of-the-art cinemas, the 60-seat licensed Coco at the Roxy restaurant and café (with stunning interior features created by the extraordinary team at Weta Workshop), and a Grand Lobby featuring craft beers on tap, a revolving art gallery and the amazing ceiling mural by Weta artist Greg Broadmore and sculptures by Richard Taylor.
The Roxy Cinema complex has received accolades internationally for its authentic Art Deco design, and incredible sculptures and artworks that showcase Weta Workshop tal-ent. It won a Gold Award at the New Zealand Commercial Project Awards 2013.
The Roxy Cinema has won over visitors from around the world and recently won the prestigious “Best Cinema in New Zealand Award” by the Australian Independent Distributors’ Association (AIDA) at the 68th Australian International Movie Convention 2013.
The Roxy Cinema is co-owned by some of Wellington’s most dynamic and crea-tive residents: Oscar-winning editor Jamie Selkirk and wife Ann, Weta Workshop founders Tania Rodger and Sir Richard Taylor, local restaurateur Valentina Dias and cinema operator Daminda Dias, cinephiles Tim Alexander and Jo-Anne Lundon, and cocktail connoisseurs Jonny and Justin McKenzie. All are passionate about fi lm, food, and Wellington!
The Roxy Cinema and CoCo Restaurant is open seven days a week from 9am to late. CoCo and the café serves breakfast, lunch and dinner with menus for children as well as special occasion high teas and functions. Something for everyone in a glamorous setting. Just 2 minutes away from Weta cave and 5 minutes from the airport.
It is open all year round (only shutting for Christmas Day) and doesn’t charge public holiday surcharges.

A Well ington woman has walked away with a brand new Suzuki Swift.
Angela Stokes was presented with her brand new car, after entering a $40,000 giveaway at this year’s Wellington Women’s Lifestyle Expo.
A young mum of two boys Angela was in shock at the big win, convinced at fi rst it was part of some elaborate hoax.
It wasn’t until she sat in the car this week and was handed the keys that she allowed herself to get truly excited.
Angela will also receive gifts from Caci Clinic, Resene, Shisei-do and a travel prize to Borneo and Kuala Lumpur from EzyPay Holidays.
Planning is well underway for next year’s door prize and the Women’s Lifestyle Expo will return to the TSB Bank Arena next August.
Next year’s event will once again be one of the region’s largest events with thousands of women visiting the Expo for two days of pampering, shopping and fun.

By Nikki PapatsoumasA young Wellington cricket fan
got the chance to meet some of her sports idols earlier this month.
Sacred Heart Cathedral School student Emily Mahoney won the opportunity to accompany Brendon McCullum and Darren Sammy for the coin toss at the sec-ond Blackcaps versus West Indies test match at the Basin Reserve, in a competition run by ANZ.
As well as this the lucky student was told she had won in a special ceremony at her school that was attended by special guest Tim
Southee, bowler for the Blackcaps.Emily was nominated by her
mum, and says she was surprised to learn she had won.
The nine-year-old is a keen sports player herself and is involved in netball, swimming and gym-nastics, and she says her and her family always go along to watch matches at the Basin Reserve.
She says she was nervous and excited about stepping out for the coin toss.
“I’ve never met the captains be-fore so I was a bit nervous. I always watch the Blackcaps play on TV
with my dad so I knew there would be lots of people watching me.”
Southee says it is always nice to make someone’s day, and put a smile on their face.
“I think back to when I was that age you get to meet sports people and I still have those memories, it is always something you remem-ber.
“If it is a sport that you love and you get to meet someone that plays at the highest level it is a dream come true, it could be them in 15 years time.”

The importance of water safety was emphasised ear-lier this month, thanks to an off shore rescue by Worser Bay Surf Life Saving Club.
Life guards from the Worser Bay Life Saving Club were involved in the rescue of two yachtsmen and an overturned catamaran in the middle of Welling-ton Harbour, in one of the clubs infl atable rescue boats (IRB).
Club chair Grant Rae says this emphasises the vital service the club provides for the community.
Worser Bay Life Saving Club has about 25 qualifi ed volunteer life guards who are rostered on patrols at Scorching Bay during sum-mer weekends.
The club has been associ-ated with a number of high profile rescue and search and recovery roles in the past, including the Wahine Ferry grounding and the Dom-Post Ferry rescue.
Grant says now they are being called more frequent-ly to assist with Wellington outer harbour mishaps as the volume of sea based activity increases.
“Most of our rescue activ-ity occurs well outside the
patrol ‘fl ags’ so our guards need to be responsive, mo-bile and competent, and be supported by effi cient and reliable rescue and lifesav-ing equipment.”
Worser Bay Life Saving Club is a registered charity and they rely on donations to keep ticking over.
They undertake regular fund raising activity to sup-port their operating costs, and receive support from key sponsors.
“We are grateful for fi-nancial support that helps us keep the Wellington community safe and for the wonderful people who volunteer as life guards.”
Worser Bay Life Saving Club will be involved with several community based collections during Janu-ary as part of its summer activities.
They are training and re-freshing life guards now and would like to hear from community minded people who are interested in be-coming an active volunteer life guard.
For more information, or to make a donation head to www.worserbaylsc.org.nz
Louise Brett, Ella Shapland, Leonie Short and Anna Plunkett were involved in the rescue of two yachtsmen earlier this month.

Poster prankA creative individual in Wellington
has turned a number of Phoenix football posters into something a little bit dodgy.
The posters, which advertise the A-League team’s December home games, have been expertly doctored to say ‘homo games’.
A picture was sent to a Phoenix staff member, showing the doctored poster on a bus in the capital.
Only a handful of the posters, which have donned the buses since November, needed to be removed by Go Wellington.
