Call-out stats - July 2013
- Stokes Valley Volunteer Fire Brigade
- Despite the Wellington region being rocked by a strong 6.5 magnitude earthquake on 21st July, Stokes Valley Volunteer Fire Brigade attended less than half the number of call-outs in July than in June. The storm that hit the region back in June kept the brigade much busier than the recent earthquake did, which, in a funny kind of way, is probably a good thing (considering the utter devastation that the people down in Canterbury have had to deal with). The brigade were called out to just two earthquake-related incidents, including one to Hutt Hospital.

Reducing Condensation(3)-Kitchens and living areas

- Small actions can make quite a difference to how dry your home is: put lids on pots, especially if cooking for a long time, simmer rather than boil hard use the kitchen extractor fan if you have one, or else open a nearby window -just a crack is usually sufficient.

Welcomes and Congratulations
- Amesbury Drive School Blog
- Welcome back to term 3. It was lovely to see all the smiling faces as students arrived at school yesterday. I hope everyone managed to enjoy their holidays and have begun the term feeling refreshed and ready for a HUGE term of learning. We are excited about this term. Our student achievement data from terms 1 and 2 is looking pretty good. However, as a staff, we met yesterday to discuss how we can continue to improve the achievement of our students over the next two terms.

Henry Russell Walden (1934-2013)
- Architectural Centre Inc
- Russell died last week. His funeral is tomorrow (Tues 30th, 3pm Old St Pauls). He was born in Timaru, studied architecture at the University of Auckland, and was awarded the first MArch in New Zealand in 1964 with his thesis: “New Zealand Anglican church architecture, 1814-1963″ – all nine volumes of it. Another first he achieved was gaining a New Zealand Post-Graduate Scholarship in Architecture. The next year he headed to Birmingham to PhD study and private practice, returning in 1978 as a Reader in Architectural History at VUW, having completed his PhD (1975) and edited the MIT Press publication: The Open Hand: Essays on Le Corbusier (1977), an early collection of essays on Le Corbusier in English. http://www.futunatrust.org.nz/wp-content/header-images/windows.jpg Russell is renowned for his passionate relationship to Futuna Chapel – the subject of his Voices of Silence (1987) – as bicultural architecture.

Earthquake: over-reaction?
- Eye of the Fish
- Whilst I am fully aware that was a nasty series of shakes on Sunday evening, and indeed over the last few days, I’m very disappointed in the over-reaction of the media to this seismic event. RadioNZ reported that a building in Featherston St had a collapsed concrete facade – I don’t know about you, but I thought “Crikey! If a concrete facade can collapse, then what about the brick facades in Cuba St!” – and so I set off to find out which building had collapsed. As it turns out, none of them.

A processional route past the car yards
- Wellington Scoop
- A long-forgotten plan was dusted off and put back into the city council’s annual plan last week – it’s a plan to plant trees in Taranaki Street, to make it part of a new “processional route.” Taranaki Street was chosen for this honour in 2009 as part of a “capital city initiative” announced by the Prime Minister and then Mayor Kerry Prendergast.
