Michael Dobson remembered Michael Trim

Gary McPhee remembered Michael

On Friday night ( June 15 2007 ) friends of Michael Trim met at Boyle Kawasaki to remember Michael. Michael was an enthusiastic motorcyclist who loved his Ducati and Vespa. Michael was a character, with a zest for life, was very creative and a little eccentric. He is much loved and remembered by his friends. Many thanks to John and Mark Boyle and Michael Dobson.

WALKING THE TALK - Carterton's Mayor Gary McPhee

Gary says hello to a group of visiting motorcyclists

Gary McPhee Mayor of Carterton 2007

The Mayor of Carterton Gary McPhee is a man who prefers to do things rather than talk. He is unpretentious and down to earth. A man with exceptional practical and creative skills, Gary McPhee understands the pressures of working for a living and he is good for Carterton. Gary is standing again for the position of Mayor in the October election and that's a good thing as he has more to offer the good people of Carterton.

A WEEK IN THE CAPITAL'S POLITICS

Thinking there was political capital to be made in riding climate change Mayor Prendergast attempted to change the window dressing on her watch in the run up to the October election. Lolly water was liberally dispensed at this week's Strategy and Policy Committee. The Mayor of the Bypass and the promoter of the V8 car race now wanted to lay claim to a carbon neutral city. We could have an aspirational vision of carbon neutral but in her words "Peak Oil was shit". There is more oil than ever being discovered according to the Mayor, it was just taking two barrels of oil for every one extracted. What was the Mayor thinking when she said peak oil was shit? I was unable to reply as the Mayor had the last word according to standing orders. Perhaps the Mayor might like to have a public debate on the issue of Peak Oil? The Mayor and Councillors own cars ranging from BMWs and Mercedes to Japanese 4 wheel drives. One other councillor uses a bicycle but also has a 4x4 vehicle.

During the debate I suggested that Council start with its own backyard as there was a Council carpark full of carbon burners; so what was the council intending to do. I suggested that leading by example was a good way to start. I had come to the committee meeting on my bicycle and that meant one less car; there is even a sticker that said it on my bicycle. It had been given to me by car enthusiast Ray Ahipene-Mercer - he had brought it back from an Australian conference by a carbon burning jet. Don't get me wrong, I too have use cars but over the last ten years they have been progressively down sized and a motorcycle has been added. However there was something better than down sizing that had been added to the transport options - yes I had added the bicycle. I use it as often as possible and only a bicycle accident put an end to that option temporally. Six weeks later I'm back on my bicycle and wondering how serious this Council is when we see the councillor's car park that is under the Council Chamber full of carbon burners. Come to think of it Council management looks pretty much committed to carbon burners also. How will the community relate to this latest move by the carbon burning Mayor and Council?

Chinese Garden needs to be in the right place in Wellington!

click on picture to enlarge

Bryan,

Nearly everyone supports a Chinese garden in Wellington(in fact for over ten years) but not on Frank Kitts Park....Let us not forget the design brief for Chaffers/Waitangi Park was to include a Chinese Garden (and incidentally a Pacific garden which seems to have been lost) and if the "public's choice had been selected" the garden would have been underway by now in the "Transition zone" east of Te Papa.....and would have been a welcome peaceful retreat to all the concrete wasteland and "artificial swamp"...

Cheers

Pauline

*********************************************************
I agree totally with you Pauline. You may remember when I raised the issue with the Waterfront Subcommittee. Some of the Chinese community were there but seem not to want to speak up.
Cheers
Bryan
