Icon get no satisfaction
- 25 Sep 2008
- Eye of the Fish
- It has been announced by the Wellington City Council, that following on from the demise of the proposal for a Hilton Hotel, there will be an ideas competition for the end of the Outer T on Queens Wharf: currently home to an old tin shed, as I’m sure you all know. The Hilton-to-be, as you will recall, was vanquished by the continued badgering of the combined forces of Waterfront Watch and the Civic Trust (go Grey Power!), and no one much seems to have mourned its passing (blogged by Philip back in March). The Hilton’s Auckland architects have left town with their tails between their legs, probably destined never to want to return. While details for the competition for the replacement building have not been clarified yet, there’s one thing for sure: there’s going to be a call for it to be Iconic.

Hataitai Swimming Club - 1971 to 2008
- 4 Sep 2008
- Swimming Wellington
- The early 1970s proved a critical period for the club. The clubrooms were not being fully utilised but of course still had to be maintained to health regulation standards. Membership had declined. There was little supervision of the use of the clubrooms at weekends. The public were using the rooms without making any contribution to the upkeep costs. Learn to swim classes at the beach were spasmodic and were becoming less popular. Lessons ceased altogether at Hataitai Beach in 1972 after 61 years.

From Andrew’s desk
- 3 Sep 2008
- Karori Baptist Church
- The other day I came across the following adaption of the Apostles Creed. The original creed is a reminder of what it is we believe - the basis of our security and the hope we have for the future. This creed, a little tongue in cheek, does the same - it states what many of us would prefer not to admit - that our basis for security and hope has much more to do with what we can buy and store away. Perhaps like me, you too struggle with the insidious way in which those things I bought have somehow now come to own me and have a far greater influence over the decisions I make, than I like to admit. This week may we find the courage and the strength to find again a far greater creed to live to. I believe in my income and standard of living, maker of pleasure on earth. And in things-I-own and Things-I-want-to-get, which are conceived by desire for possessions born of a regular paycheck, suffered under monthly payments, then glorified, cherished and admired. They descend in their value, but on a future day I’ll acquire some more ascending in my status, ’til I sit in comfortable retirement, from whence I shall come to enjoy them all without end. I believe in my home or apartment, my comfortable automobile, my vacation with pay, my insurance for life the satisfaction of my wants and a bank account ever increasing. Amen. (Attributed to R.Vallet, Congregations at the Crossroads.)

Hataitai Swimming Club - 1940 to 1970
- 3 Sep 2008
- Swimming Wellington
- The Second World War robbed the Hataitai Bathing Club of young men and women. However the club continued to operate a learn to swim programme. Community social activity began to flourish after the cessation of hostilities in 1945. The energy of comradeship and togetherness learned during the previous six years greatly assisted the rejuvenation of clubs such as the Hataitai Bathing Club.

No Contingency Plans for Creche
- 2 Sep 2008
- Mt Victoria Residents Association
- In response to a request under the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act, the Wellington City Council has confirmed that there are no contingency plans to relocate the Crossways Creche:“There are no contingency plans drawn up regarding relocating the Crossways Community Creche to the Bandoliers site. A report regarding the possibility of permitting creche activities on the Town Belt is due to be presented to the Strategy and Policy Committee in late September/early October for decision by Councillors.”The Council’s own estimates show that an investment of around $380,000 will be required to bring the Bandoliers building up to the required standard for an early childhood educational facility. As the work is extensive - new retaining walls, paths, fences, DDT removal, toilets, storage facilities and much more - it seems likely that many months of effort will be required. However no plan for either conducting the work or to manage the disruption to the creche exists.This is clearly unsatisfactory. Council officers were opposed to the retention of Crossways by the community, and at all stages in the process made recommendations that no Council resources be put into the retention of our community house. These same staff members have had nearly 18 months in which to plan for alternatives, yet it appears that they have done absolutely nothing to ensure our community creche can continue operating once Crossways is sold.Families with children at the creche should feel justifiable outrage at how they have been abandoned by Council officers.
