Cook Strait News: 387 7160 CONCERNED: Chair of the Governing Board of Aspire Richard Noble and Senior Peer Support Worker Conray Samuel at Newtown’s Clubhouse, a day centre for the mental health community.
Clubhouse doors to close By Nikki Papatsoumas A 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 experience. Their major funding comes from the Capital and Coast District Health Board,
who are in the process of introducing Aspire Inc. Richard Noble says it is una new service model - the Te Ara Pai fortunate the CCDHB didn’t see Aspires framework. services as fitting into the new model.

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 fitting 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 multicultural 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 extraordinary teacher and person, she nurtures, encourages, challenges and loves our children, their whanau and our staff. “She has left an incredible legacy 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.”
Call for help after fire By Nikki Papatsoumas A local group is just one of the many that was affected by a fire at the Kiwi Self Storage Facility in Kilbirnie earlier this month. The unit the Strathmore Community Church and Eastern 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 fire. “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 mauriceroberts@clear.net.nz

Continued from page 1. However Mr Noble says the mental health demographic is a very broad one, and this does not reflect 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 sometimes “negative perceptions” of those who use Aspires services. “Some of the concern from locals is where will these people go without this valuable service, and there is a concern they could deteriorate quickly without a service.

Royal meeting of a lifetime
Gunfire breakfast
By Nikki Papatsoumas 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 opportunity 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 Hogervorst 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.
CQ Hotels in Wellington City are holding a special Gunfire breakfast to commemorate ANZAC day after the dawn service. The Gunfire breakfast was the historical last meal the troops enjoyed before going into battle. The breakfast, which is only $1, includes eggs, sausages, toast and tomatoes. There will be music featured that is reminiscent of WWII on an authentic wind-up gramophone. At the Cuba Rooms 1-5, CQ Hotels (lounge/fireplace area) at 213-223 Cuba Street on Friday April 25 from 8am to 10am. All proceeds from the breakfast will go to the local RSA.

Showing support for Poppy Day By Nikki Papatsoumas 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 meticulously 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 services to veterans and their families.” Mr Turner says Poppy Day is equally important to remind people of the sacrifice made by all the men and women that died during conflict. PREPARED POPPIES: President of the Wellington RSA Ron Turner, with some of the 50,000 poppies that staff and volunteers have prepared for Poppy Day.

New World owner going the extra mile By Holly Bagge Massey Journalism Student 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 graffiti and clean up the streets. Raised on Hanson Street,
Chung has watched the community 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 first became involved with Newtown New World in 1985, when he gained a position as a part-time check out operator 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 modified to suit organisations’ 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 attached for public announcements. “We’re trying to make things easier for people. It includes everything you need to get started.”
HOT OFF THE GRILL: Donald Chung working the new community barbecue.
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-

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 unimpressed 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 concerns 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 ourselves with fun and humour.”

Walking in someone else’s shoes Over the weekend 6,000 young people took part in the Caritas Challenge, 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 Wellington East Youth hosted activities in Kilbirnie around four themes - ‘Live it’ ‘Work it’ ‘Sweat it’ ‘Stop it’ to bring them closer to living conditions 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 beneficiaries for 2014 are the people of Solomon Islands, and this became all the more significant due to flash floods which devastated the country on Friday, with floods 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 Response 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.

Royals walk Civic Square Wellingtonians will have one last opportunity to see their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge during their final 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 volunteers on site throughout the morning and at the event to help guide people to appropriate areas. Due to road closures, parking restrictions and the potential for heavy traffic, people are encouraged to plan ahead and consider public transport to and from Wellington CBD on the day.
Makeover for water tank NEW LOOK: The water tank behind Wellington hospital has Newtown painted in large letters b y members of Mansfield House.
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 graffiti, got a clean-up and ‘Newtown’ was painted in large letters by residents of Mansfield House. Wellington City Council Community Services Manager Jenny Rains says the council has a new strategy around graffiti management and a key part of that is community engagement.
She says this is one of many specific projects residents at Mansfield 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.

Bus stop opposition 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 first 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 Parade and keep Derwent and Medway St quieter so there is an alternative for cyclists (and for pedestrians). Also I often park on Medway St
Mini Minstrels
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. Regards Karen Hofmann-Body Island Bay

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 fill 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 financially.

CAN YOU BE SEEN?
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 fitting 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 finished 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 waterski 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.

Stress busting tips 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 including 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.

A special comb is used to get rid of lice.
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 moving 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, flat 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 fly).
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 fine-tooth comb. Wipe the comb with tissue to see whether or not lice are present. Continue to do this until you can find no more insects. Repeat this procedure each day for the next 10-14 days. The eggs (nits) – which are found stuck firmly to the base of the hair, especially the back of the neck and behind the ears - are difficult to remove by comb and need to be pulled out (or killed by squashing between fingernails 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 fine-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 correctly 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 first 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 flea 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.

Young dazzles his way into Phoenix Academy By Khalid Ahmed Whitireia Journalism Student Rising Rongotai College footballer 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 Phoenix games I saw people cheering them on and realised I wanted that one day.” The Wellington Phoenix Academy 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 throughout 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

is now and he was awarded the cyclist of the year at the Rongotai College Sport assembly last year. George says he encourages more young people to take up cycling. “It will be good for the sport if more people do cycling and just start with the basics, you don’t need an expensive bike at all.” PHOTO CREDIT: Khalid Ahmed
