Election results deliver shake up for Hutt City Council

by Carl McRae Hutt City has a new Mayor At just 28, Campbell Barry of Wainuiomata has been voted into the city’s highest office, becoming New Zealand’s youngest Mayor and the second youngest in our history.

With official results not released until October 16 as The Eastbourne Herald went to print, preliminary results of the 2019 Triennial Elections (minus special votes totalling 876), were enough for the incumbent Mayor, Ray Wallace, to concede defeat.

While Mr. Wallace was personally devastated at not being returned for a fourth term, he was proudly reflective of his nine years at the helm, acknowledged also by Campbell, who said that the city owes him due gratitude for his dedication and long service to it.

Campbell Barry argued that change would bring accountability and transparency to central government in Hutt City, with basic infrastructure requirements needing to be met at first port of call.

He says that he campaigned on key issues; relieving traffic congestion, more council New Mayor, Campbell Barry with Tui Lewis (returned as Harbour Ward Councillor) and Virginia Horrocks housing and the reining in of unnecessary (returned ECB member). spending, which clearly struck a chord with how much it means to the residents of voters. His desire to see the Naenae pool back agenda.

“It may take some time to get the pathway up and running and the Eastern Bays Shared Continues Page 3 Pathway back on the table are also high on his completed,” Campbell said, “but I’m fully aware

Council shake up in 2019

Election results at a glance •

From Page 1 the Eastern Bays and its significance in terms of resilience. I’ll be fighting hard to get the pathway across the line. I’m very thankful to have received the support and votes I did from Eastbourne.”

Campbell says that in the days leading up to Saturday, there was definitely a strong feeling of change flowing through the wider community.

“Even so,” he says, “I was out there in Wainui campaigning until 11:59am, encouraging those who had not done so to vote and not taking anything for granted.

"But obviously, I am stoked with the result.”

Only Joseph Ward, elected mayor of Bluff at the age of 25, in 1882, has been younger. On the Labour ticket, Norman Kirk, at 30, became Mayor of Kaiapoi in 1953.

Much was made before the election of Campbell standing with an affiliation to the same political party as Kirk, but he believes he was elected as he was the right person for the job.

“It was a risk making the call to have Labour party backing,” he says, “but I had good counsel in the matter and I was encouraged to be who I am and upfront and honest.”

And while he admits that it still seems all a little surreal, he says he looks forward to taking those values and applying himself to the wider job across the city.

“I’m up for the challenge,” he concludes.

The race for the mayoralty was a straight battle between Campbell Barry (Labour)who received 15,046 votes, deposing the incumbent, Ray Wallace (Independent), with 12,837.

386 voting papers were returned blank.

Tui Lewis was a clear winner in the Harbour Ward, claiming 3,200 votes, or 51.46 percent of the total count. Other Ward councillors elected to office were; David Bassett (Central), Chris Milne (Western), Leigh Sutton (Northern), Andy Mitchell (Eastern) and Keri Brown (Wainuiomata).

Voters were asked to tick up to six boxes for the councillors at large. Once it was established that Campbell Barry was going to be the new Mayor, his name was withdrawn from the list, where he had received 18,526 votes. The following councillors (all Independent) were elected to office; Josh Briggs, 11,737. Simon Edwards, 11,504. Naomi Shaw, 10,198. Shazly Rasheed, 10,021. Brady Dyer, 9,104 and Deborah Hislop, 8,874.

Notable local omissions include Harbour Ward councillor (who stood for council at large) Michael Lulich, 8,405 and Days Bay’s Phil Sprey, 5,438, who was running for council and the Eastbourne Community Board for the first time.

There will be a new look to the ECB, with the following five elected to represent in the coming term; Virginia Horrocks, 1,597, Bruce Spedding, 1,522, Belinda Moss, 1,400, Murray Gibbons, 1,384 and Frank Vickers, 1,068.

Ken Laban, Prue Lamason and Josh van Lier will represent the Lower Hutt constituency on the Greater Wellington Regional Council.

More people voted this time HCC electoral Officer Bruce Hodgins, says that the 43 percent return - including special votes - was a pleasing result, especially given predictions of a 40 percent return (still an upward trend from elections over the past decade).

“The increased voter turn-out was not unexpected for two main reasons,” says Mr. Hodgins. “With a serious contender for mayor and the ensuing intense campaign, voter awareness and interest in the election would have been heightened, noting that for

the previous two elections these factors were absent.” The change with the introduction of a mixed system of wards and city-wide would likely also have the effect of raising the interest in the election,” he added, “with voters getting a greater say and a more diverse candidate base.”

Mr. Hodgins says that while voter turn-out was up, he stresses that these are important matters that affect people every day. “Ideally, we want to see even more voters turning out to exercise their democratic rights next time round,” he concludes.

Geotech surveys in Lowry Bay for pipeline project

by Carl McRae Wellington Water will be undertaking a series of geotechnical investigations in Lowry Bay during November, as part of determining the best route for the proposed Cross-Harbour Pipeline.

Alexander van Paassen, Community Engagement Manager for WW, says the major project is designed to improve water supply resilience for the metropolitan region by providing an additional water supply pipeline that will cross Wellington Harbour, from the water supply pipeline from the Waterloo Treatment Plant to Wellington city via Wellington Harbour.

“A key objective is to provide an additional and more resilient pipe route than the existing pipeline located along the Wellington Faultline, which runs along State Highway 2 between Petone and Wellington City," he says.

Wellington Water’s general manager of design and delivery, Tonia Haskell, says the surveys will help inform selection of the final route for the pipeline.

“We are currently in the process of investigating the potential take-off and landing sites for the pipeline, at both the Hutt Valley and Wellington sides of the harbour,” she says.

The geotechnical investigations will involve drilling a series of land and seabed test bores using a specially-kitted barge.

Work will kick off on the Wellington side in Evans Bay on October 21, and will take two to three weeks.

The barge will then move to Lowry Bay,

Honouring Life.

Gavin Murphy General Manager

Ph: (04) 566 3103 www.geeandhickton.co.nz

where sea-based test bores are expected to commence mid-November and continue for approximately two weeks, before returning to complete drilling in Evans Bay. “We will be examining the condition of the seabed,” says Tonia, “as well as determining whether the undersea Waiwhetu Aquifer extends into both the Lowry Bay and Evans Bay areas that are being investigated for the potential take-off and landing sites for the pipeline.”

“So, if you’re looking over Lowry Bay, you will be able to see the barge and the project team at work. While some of the work is expected to run 24/7, there will be noise mitigation measures in place to ensure it does not exceed the noise limits.”

Wellington Water has been granted resource consents by Greater Wellington Regional Council to carry out the investigations.

Tonia says WW are continuing to work closely with any affected parties and users, to ensure everyone understands the project and the work will not clash with any major activities.

“We do not expect the work to be disruptive,” she adds. “And as always, we really value and appreciate the understanding of the local community as we work on this critical project to improve our city’s water resilience.”

The work will be carried out as a joint venture by Griffiths Drilling and McMillan Drilling joint venture, the same companies that carried out the initial exploratory harbour bores during 2017 and 2018, to help determine the best option for an alternative water supply for Wellington city.

Hinds Point Navigation Tower officially opens

by Carl McRae The brand new Hinds Point Navigation Tower was officially opened on October 9, with a ceremony celebrating the area’s first installation of its type in 73 years.

Greater Wellington Regional Council Harbour Master, Grant Nalder, says that the six metre high tower will become the new leading light along the Eastbourne/Pencarrow Coast.

“It was designed, after discussions with CentrePort,” said Grant, “to help all ships safely navigate their exit from Wellington Harbour.

This light replaces an informal landmark used by pilots on outbound shipping and the Masters on Inter-island ferries.”

There are around 13,000 shipping movements annually in Wellington harbour, a number that continues to grow, with ship size also increasing.

“Navigation lights are essential to safety management,” Grant says, “and working in conjunction with modern electronic systems.

This light gives further reassurance for vessels leaving the harbour by providing a visible point, which will then guide them onto established navigation routes.”

The tower is coloured white on its seaward side to make sure it is visible as a day marker against the hillside.

The official opening of the new navigation tower.

“The light is also sustainable. The power comes from a solar-powered LED light which is visible from sea, a few degrees either side of the 168 degree outward bound track,” Grant says.

The planning involved in this project, including design, location surveying and

resource consent, started two years ago and the tower was erected on September 18.

Outgoing GW Chair, Chris Laidlaw, thanked all those who attended the opening ceremony and those involved in the design and construction with a special shout out to project manager, GW Harbour Ranger, John Tattersall.

New e-ferry well underway in Seaview

by Carl McRae

East by West’s new all-electric, carbon-free and zero-emission passenger ferry- a first in the Southern Hemisphere - is well underway at the Gracefield workshop of the Wellington Electric Boat Building Company (WEBB).

Project Manager, Fraser Foote, also built East by West’s second ferry, Cobar Cat in 2006.

He says that in his forty years' experience as a boat builder, the new e-ferry is the most dynamic venture he has ever worked on.

For WEBB, the project has been as much about creating the infrastructure for a new electric boat-building industry itself, as providing the vehicle and tools to put together New Zealand’s first fully electric ferry.

“Being the prototype as such,” says Fraser ,“a lot of time was spent analysing the design and making sure that all specifications are correct is of prime importance.”

“We have also been fortunate to secure the right people at the right time. We have some of the most experienced people in the industry working on the project, with well known designers in their fields of expertise. The focus and intensity of the local team has been absolutely amazing.”

Fraser says that the ferry is now close to being assembled; the process is one of making manageable parts as a kitset and then assembling the parts in order.

“The top deck has been completed and is currently being painted and held in our Seaview workshop,” he said.

During the weight study, every single part of the 37 tonne, carbon fibre ferry must be weighed. Five of those 37 tonnes are in the batteries alone. “ T h e l i g hte r t h e b o at , t h e l owe r the resistance curve,” Fraser says, “which means less energy expended and a longer battery life.”

Fraser says that he has been amazed by how many of the project’s components have been able to have been contracted out to or provided by local companies, a lot of them within the Seaview industrial area, including the innovative lightweight paint system being utilised and the cabin seating.

Coralie Christian of East by West says that there is no specific date set for the e-ferry to commence service, but the company is

expecting it to hit the water in the first quarter of 2020.

“It will carry 135 passengers,” she says, “approximately forty more people than the two ferries currently in operation. Another feature will be silence, there will be very little in the way of sound coming from the boat as it glides across the harbour.”

Fraser says it is really advantageous that the ferry does not have an exact time frame/ date to enter service, as - being a first - it is of paramount importance that absolutely every specification is correct before it does so.

There’ll be little rest for the wicked, though.

Fraser admits there has been considerable interest not only from other New Zealand operators, but also enquiries from Asia and Europe for WEBB for future ferry contract builds once the initial ferry for East By West is completed.

What started out as a futuristic project has almost become reality. And that launch day is now only a number of months away. Before then though, Fraser says the company plans to have an open day, when folk can come down to Seaview Marina and check out the new e-ferry for themselves.

Student led circus not so silly

It took an entire term of writing and rehearsal, but San Antonio pupil, Madelyn Mathieson, said the success of her school's production of ‘Silly Circus’, was worth all the hard work and effort.

Principal, Thérèse Young, says ‘Silly Circus’ was entirely written and performed by the students of San Antonio.

“The senior class wrote the production,” she says, “and wanted it to be a circus theme. It was a show of calamities with magicians, each scene involving the performers not quite getting things right; magicians who were meant to turn someone into a frog but turned them into a dog (with a real dog appearing on stage), lions who could not be tamed, clowns who were sad and protested for animal rights and animals not to be in the circus, monkeys who ‘had anything but a tea party’, an elephant who had run away, and acrobats who kept falling over.”

It was an ensemble cast, Thérèse says, led by a fiery ringmaster, Petra Gloag and her assistant (Maddie) who couldn’t quite keep things under control until the Saturday night when the audience ‘rolled up’ to see a show of precision and flair.

At the beginning of term 3, Room 1 (Years 5 and 6) started to write the circus script, which Maddie says was really fun, especially coming up with ideas for the scenes and the writing of the jokes.

“When the script was finished we started practising heaps,” she says. “The first scenes we rehearsed were the lion and the magicians scene. I was upstairs rehearsing most of the time because I was in both of them. I was the Stage Manager and I had to keep the Ringmaster and circus performers under control.”

The circus dance was her favourite part of the production, which she says she liked because Petra (the Ringmaster) and her got to do a duet together before the rest of the cast

came on.

“I had so many lines,” she says, “so I needed to practise lots but eventually I knew them off by heart.”

“My favourite scene was the magician’s scene,” she adds, “because my mum got turned into my dog, Rosie. The first show we did was the matinee on Tuesday.”

Maddie says she wasn’t so nervous performing in front of the little kids from Eastbourne Kindergarten and Barnardos.

The second show on Wednesday night was a little more daunting, but mostly exciting because there were lots of people watching this time.

“The last performance was on Thursday,” Maddie adds. “It was probably my best show. My favourite part was the finale, when I got to smash a plate of whipped cream in the Ring Master’s face.”

Bottle, can tops help kidney kids

Florence Lander (left) and Aimee Reid, collecting for Kidney Kids at the Eastbourne Library.

The Eastbourne Library has paired up with the local community, encouraging folk to collect drink can tabs and wine bottle tops to support the charity Kidney Kids NZ. Organiser, Liz Lander, says that Kidney Kids NZ is a non-profit organisation, dedicated to aiding children with Kidney Disease and offering support to their families too.

“Kidney Kids' activities include providing resources, information and emotional support,” she says.

“They also host special camps for kidney kids - as children who are at, or near, end stage renal failure are often unable to attend school camp. These camps are something the kidney kids look forward to and offer some normality at a time when life is anything but normal for them.”

In order to raise funds, the charity collects the tabs from aluminium drink cans as well as screw-off wine bottle tops. These are sorted

by local Lions groups and sold to recycling com,panies to raise funds for the charity’s activities.

“Eastbourne village now has a growing number of collection points for the tabs and tops,” Liz says. “As well as the local library, the Hive, the Bach and the Still Room now have collection boxes. They have all re-purposed ice cream containers, so it is a full recycling initiative.”

Liz says that anyone wishing to help the cause can take all their can tabs and wine bottle tops to one of the collection points.

“If anyone would like to have a collection box of your own, for your school, business or work place,” she adds, “just ask at the Eastbourne library and they will be happy to issue you with one.”

“Collection boxes can be returned to the library once full and swapped for an empty one, so you can keep on collecting.”

Wellesley Worm published in Te Reo In 2018 a group of Year 5 Wellesley College boys started their own monthly publication known as the Wellesley Worm. With a wide variety of articles, drawings, puzzles, news from around the school and even recycling tips, the Wellesley Worm has become quite the publication!

Now in its second year, Eilaan Rasheed, Brynn Pierce, Edward Florentine (now Year 6 students), have refined their publication and have even added new initiatives and advertising.

Work ing dur ing t heir luncht imes on a Friday, the boys released their first ever Wellesley Worm in Te Reo as part of Māori Language Week in mid-September.

“We thought it would be nice to celebrate Māori by doing a full issue in Te Reo,” says Eilaan. “We thought it would raise the awareness for the language. The process was a little tricky, we used google translate and my brother (Ariaan) for some assistance. But we started with a full Worm in English and then translated – that was an interesting process too.”

The purpose of Māori language week is to promote the use of Te Reo and revitalise Māori language and through this celebrate culture and identity as custodians of Aotearoa

B r y n n believes that We l l e s l e y College did pretty well in celebrating Mahuru Māori.

“In class d u r i n g Te wiki o Te Reo Māori,” he says, “we have been doing some extra activities including word searches and learning parts of the body in Te Reo.” Edward says that the school did not have a newspaper and as the trio all enjoyed writing, they thought it might be a good idea to start one up.

“We wanted to give the boys a fun thing to read,” he said, “and to find out more about what goes on. We feature a few activities for rainy days; quizzes, crosswords and word finds. We try and mix it up, but we all really enjoy writing the articles. We get drawings and suggestions

from other boys in the school. Mrs Stevens proof reads for us.”

Deputy Principal (Teaching and Learning), Veronica Stevens, says Wellesley is committed to providing opportunities for students to expand their understanding and broaden their cultural horizons.

“We also make sure that Te Reo is included in our Chapel services,” she says, “with Waiata and Karakia. It’s great to see Māori Tikanga being incorporated into our learning at school".

Fortune favours the brave, as the expression goes. The celebrated metaphor certainly applies to an Eastbourne woman, Teresa Hall, who has met cut-throat streetwear industry giants head on with her own unique urban clothing line, Blackhead Streetwear.

The label was founded in 2018, when Teresa decided the best way to exhibit her artwork was to create a living exhibition. The Malaysian-born, New Zealand artist, designer and photographer, had the idea to display her artwork on urban streetwear, as opposed to in studios or galleries.

Conceptually, that was just the start of her vision and eventually the bigger picture would unfold. Teresa had noticed that kids were constantly chasing overseas brands and she set about trademark registering her own brand name and began working on a logo, hoping that her style would resonate with a localised rap and hip-hop audience.

“From our very first day, we’ve always tried to make designs that we are proud of,” Teresa says. “A straightforward, unisex streetwear that is high quality and comfortable and most importantly sourced responsibly.

Teresa also decided that she would make conscious choices regarding materials including single-use packaging, which would promote sustainability. For her, it was not enough to simply source cheaper premium apparel locally, to push through volume for a quick buck.

“It w as ess ent i a l to me t hat ou r manufacturers lived and worked responsibly, ensuring that they too, believe in our company philosophy,” Teresa said. “Responsibly sourcing our products is deeply ingrained within our brand ethos, we endeavour to continually support companies and factories who ensure their staff ’s health and wellbeing is at the forefront of the business.”

For that reason, Blackhead Streetwear has partnered with AS Colour, whom Teresa describes as one of the finest ethical businesses in New Zealand. Their international factories are hand-picked after confirmation of safe, fair and humane working conditions for employees. She believes fair trade is the right

way to be good to the people who manufacture her clothes for her.

Teresa says she is truly committed to protecting and preserving the world that we live in.

“We are acutely aware of the effect we are having on our planet,” she says, “which is why we have chosen to limit the use of plastic within our products and our packaging. Our products are tissue-wrapped and shipped using DHL Express Flyer bags made from recycled materials. We hope that as our peers become more plastic conscious, further recycling facilities will be more accepting. ” Teresa says she is also passionate about providing artists with a platform .

“I’m prepared to work with local artists and designers,” she says, “and help them to get their art out there in the world. To me, it’s more about getting my cubist artwork and the designs of others out there on a New Zealand made garment, something to be really proud of.”

Teresa is meticulous about the brand and packaging, and the more organic her company becomes, the better she will feel about her contribution to the planet and sustainability.

Locally, Blackhead clothing can be purchased in the Village through the Artisan Co-op shop in Rimu Street. Her full range and company ethos can be viewed on her website; http://www.blackheadclothing.com/

Authorised by C. Bishop, 66 Bloomfield Tce, L. Hutt

October/November: Late spring. Frost over. Start summer crops now. Plants need water, light and minerals. They soon die without water (life’s chemistry is in water). Death from darkness/ shade takes longer (no energy). Death from mineral deficiency takes longer still (but is just as sure).

Mineral deficiency: Without access to a cocktail of minerals dissolved in the soil water, a plant’s internal chemistry goes awry. Malnourished plants are vulnerable to pests and diseases.

The symptoms are pests and diseases, but the underlying problem is malnutrition. Same with malnourished children…

CEC: Our sandy Eastbourne soils are low in mineral nutrients. This because of sand’s low cation-exchange capacity (CEC). Soil minerals are quickly washed down below the rootzone.

Increase CEC by increasing the dead plant material in the soil – spread/dig-in compost, mulch with tree chip.

Increase-maintain: But raising CEC means only that soil minerals will be lost more slowly. You must also add minerals to raise/maintain soil mineral status. Also keep adding soil minerals to replace those lost when plant materials leave your property (e.g. as food).

Minerals: The ‘macronutrients’ are the minerals required in largest amounts - nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K).

Meanwhile, calcium, sulphur and magnesium are also required in fairly large amounts. The ‘micronutrients’ (also called ‘trace elements’) are iron, boron, chlorine, manganese, zinc, copper, molybdenum and nickel. These micronutrient minerals are just as essential for healthy plant growth as the others - but are required only in tiny amounts.

Fertilisers: Garden centres sell bags of general fertiliser that contain the macronutrients N, P and K. Sometimes these also contain the micronutrients. Get the bag with the added micronutrients (trace elements). Your sandy soil will have low CEC, so fertilise little and often. A ‘slow-release’ formulation does this for you.

If you worry about using a fertiliser made with ‘mined’ minerals you can buy ‘natural’ animalbased fertilisers (e.g. sheep pellets, blood and bone), or plant-based fertilisers (e.g. seaweed).

But the amounts of N, P and K in these products vary very widely. Also, the amounts of the micronutrients. I would still buy a bag of a commercial micronutrient (trace element) product.

Last: You can’t know exactly how much of each mineral you need without expensive soil tests but better to use some fertiliser than none. Also, the addition of micronutrients (trace elements) could well address a critical deficiency in your sandy soil…

Local swim coach to release book

Veteran New Zealand swimmer, Ray Gough of Point Howard, is to release a self-published book entitled Ray’s Story; Honest effort is always rewarded.

Ray’s book will be a great summer read, detailing the long and successful career of this local-icon; NZ representative in Surf Lifesaving and Marathon swimming, water polo, senior rugby player and top insurance salesman.

Ray has, along the way, also saved the lives of more than thirty people who have gotten into trouble in our oceans, rivers or lakes. Arguably the most notable of these was in 1980, when he rescued a young boy and two bystanders from a swollen Hutt River, for which he received a Royal Humane Society letter of commendation.

While this and other achievements are fully detailed in his book, Ray says the main reason for putting his memoirs together was to encourage youngsters to reach their full potential.

“I was always above average height and weight,” he says, “I failed School Certificate and I never had a coach. But in sport and my vocational career I was highly successful. I have always believed that honest effort is always rewarded. It doesn’t matter what you are doing, if you give your best effort and persevere, you will achieve.”

In 2018, Ray was honoured with a plaque in recognition of his lifetime contribution to the Eastbourne Swimming Club. He has

been involved with the club since 1980 and his passion for swimming has inspire d generations of Eastbourne children to raise their self esteem through confidence in Ray Gough. and around water.

“Whether it is just an increase in confidence, a change in attitude, monetary or other recognition,” says Ray, “the more you commit yourself, the more you will get in return.

I deeply believe in the improvement that swimming contributes to a child’s life and many parents have commented or written to me saying that once their child has learned to swim with me, their whole attitude to life has changed and that their self esteem has gone off the Richter scale.”

Raymond Hugh Austin Gough was born in Croydon, England in 1941. The neighbourhood, including the family home, were continually bombed by the German Luftwaffe and after the Second World War, his father relocated the family to Days Bay in New Zealand. Ray attended Wellesley College.

While good at most sports, swimming was certainly his passion and by the mid-1960s he had won several Wellington and NZ Surf Lifesaving titles, making the New Zealand team in 1967 who competed against Australia.

Ray became a perennial figure in both the Kapiti Island swim and the Eastbourne-Days Bay Wharf to Wharf from the 1960s on and had it not been for attempts being delayed for varying reasons, he would have certainly conquered Cook Strait as well.

Nonetheless, he trained for the swim that never eventuated up and down Petone Beach, when the Gear Meat Company was still in operation, often through raw sewage, blood, guts and dead sheep.

In 1970, Ray married Air New Zealand International stewardess, Barbara Giles and the couple had two sons, Olly and Hayden.

Eventually the family ended up in Pt Howard, where sadly Barb contracted and died of cancer in 2011, looked after at home towards the end

by Ray. ‘It’s better to give than to receive’ happens to be one of his life philosophies, this from a man who is renowned for selflessly going out of his way to help others.

Ray hopes that his story will inspire readers and offers another rule which he himself lives by; “Whatever you choose to do, give it your very best. Respect others and success cannot help but follow.”

New skin for DB Wharf People hailing from the Eastern Bays and off the wharf. But there are some worrying visitors taking a trip to Days Bay will notice that the wharf has lost its deck.

T h e D ay s B ay W h a r f , c u r r e nt l y undergoing refurbishment, is in the midst of a transformation from a precast concrete deck to an innovative new fibre composite deck.

Hutt City Council Strategic Advisor Bruce Hodgins is excited about the new material being used in the construction of the new wharf.

“The new fibre composite deck is strong and significantly lighter than the previous concrete deck. It’s in panels which can be easily removed making future maintenance work simpler and more cost effective and it’s flexible which means it will be more resilient in an earthquake.

“We have removed a total of 164m3 of concrete from the project by making this change. It has been taken to Centre Port where it has been crushed and re-used in work there.

“All of the timber is either being reused on the wharf, in local projects, or sold to a local reclaim yard. We’ve donated some to the Men’s Shed and Wellington Zoo has requested some for their Little Blue Penguins.”

Hutt City Council Chief Executive, Jo Miller is enthusiastic about the work to refurbish Days Bay Wharf.

“Our community have been strong advocates for the refurbishment of the wharves.

With Rona Bay completed in December last year and Days Bay well under way we’re looking forward to seeing the wharf once again being enjoyed by the community.”

The Days Bay Wharf refurbishment project is expected to be completed mid-2020, meaning that it will not be able to be used for recreational purposes this summer.

Bruce Hodgins, says he understands that visitors will miss access to the wharf over summer and he can see the appeal of jumping

hazards to consider.

“The wharf is a construction site with many of its piles and beams being replaced, so there is the potential for accidents," he says “We can’t build a fence around the entire wharf as it’s still being used for the ferry so we’re asking people to not jump off it, go under it or try to climb on it.

“Rona Bay Wharf should not be used as an alternative, as the water is too shallow to be safe. The Eastbourne Summer Pool will be open from Saturday 9 November and of course people can still swim in the ocean, out to the pontoons and enjoy other water sports like kayaking.”

Faith in the Community Gratitude…

Gratitude is vital to bringing health to any community. A grateful community is a happy community.

We live in a context where there is an epidemic of complaint, presumption and dissatisfaction that undermines relationships and corrodes many communities and in end kills them.

Ingratitude sucks life, gratitude gives life.

Jesus in his ministry cast the spotlight on this when he healed ten lepers but only one came back to say thank you.

When we stop to think for a moment, we realize that most advertising is based on creating dissatisfaction; ingratitude for what we have because what we have is never enough.

I spent much of my life in Africa and when I came to New Zealand, I was grateful that the windows in the house did not have steel bars on them; that parcels could be left at the front door and would still be there when I got home.

I suggest two practices of gratitude. When you wake up in the morning be grateful for the new day. See it as a small resurrection.

Secondly cultivate the habit of speaking a word of gratitude and thanks to at least two people every day.

OBITUARY Nola Rough 1926-2019 Nola Rough was a stalwart of the Eastbourne community, moving here with her husband Bruce in 1955. They bought a house on Muritai Road just over the road from St Ronan’s and immediately joined the church. Nola was later to serve two terms as the church’s parish clerk.

She also drove the project to have 16 stained glass windows, depicting the local environment, installed in the church to mark its centenary in 2003.

At her funeral service at St Ronan’s on September 13, her daughter Marion described her mother as “an extremely capable person”.

She also recalled what a busy person she was, with her father complaining Nola was never home.

Nola was proud of her Scandinavian roots. Her Swedish grandmother and Danish grandfather arrived in New Zealand with their parents in 1872. Nola grew up on a farm in Mauriceville, an early Scandinavian settlement in the Wairarapa.

She was raised a Lutheran and walked three miles with her grandmother to church every Sunday.

And the walking did not stop there.

From the age of five, until the family moved to Featherston in 1940, Nola walked five miles to school and back every day. They were a hardy lot in those days! No wonder she went on to have such prowess as a sportswoman.

Nola first became involved with the Red Cross Society during the war years, when the main project was knitting woollen socks, mittens and balaclavas, and organising food parcels to send to the service men and women overseas.

In 1948, she became a leader in the Girl Guides Association, an involvement she continued in Eastbourne. The number of other

voluntary organisations she was involved in throughout her 93 years was also impressive – school and kindergarten committees, the Plunket Society, floral art societies, the Eastbourne Historical Society and Save the Children, Eastbourne branch. And her commitment to these organisations was usually at board or committee level, including serving as treasurer and chair of the Floral Art Society, Wellington, and as a councillor on the Floral Art Society of New Zealand. During the 1990s, she attended three world flower shows.

Her passion for flowers and floral art often meant having flowers soaking in the bath, and having the garage full of rocks, wood, seaweed, rope, shells, stands and dried flowers, Marion recalled. Embroidery was another of her mother’s great loves. Attending the embroidery group at St Ronan’s was the highlight of her week until she moved into the Aroha Care Centre for the Elderly in Taita when she was 92.

Many of the words spoken at her funeral service were written by Nola herself. Her son Malcolm stressed what a great organiser she had been, skills he was pleased to say he and his sister Marion had inherited.

News from our local playcentres NEWS FROM POINT HOWARD PLAYCENTRE

Our nature-themed activities are continuing, with our tamariki making a feeding station for all the birds we see around playcentre.

Chopping up fruit and hammering it onto pieces of wood was a great way to practice cutting and carpentry skills. Knot tying skills were utilised next so we could hang them in the tree – which proved a great opportunity to try out some ladder climbing!

Our most popular kai preparation activity recently involved our tamariki running a ‘café’ one morning. They took orders from the menu which offered a variety of toast and spreads, made the orders and collected the ‘money’ from their satisfied customers. There have been several requests for a repeat of this activity so it’s bound to pop up again on session soon.

We’ve also been loving having Jo and Megan from Eastbourne Library visit us each month to read stories and make crafts. On the most recent visit, Jo brought stories with a pirate theme and our tamariki loved wearing the pirate hats which they were able to decorate and keep. It’s lovely to see them all so engaged in stories so thanks Jo and Megan!

There’s still time to join us for 2019 or to drop in if you’re thinking of coming along in 2020. You can visit us at 1 Ngaumatau Road any time from 9.15 to 11.45 on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Friday – and ask us for an information pack to learn more about what we offer.
