‘The Maverick’ Russell loves a challenge

At 96, Logan Campbell resident Russell Parrish has achieved an incredible feat - ‘knocking off’ the summit of One Tree Hill 30 times over 30 consecutive days. Plus, it was all for a great cause — raising money and awareness for Alzheimer’s in honor of his late wife Mary.

Every single day of September, come rain, shine or blustering gale, Russell set off from his home at Ryman Healthcare’s Greenlane village to walk to the top of the iconic mountain set in the heart of Cornwall Park.

The idea also coincided with Ryman Healthcare’s annual Walking for Wellness challenge, which this year aptly had an Everest theme.

A LEAK GONE VIRAL

A water leak in public places has become a major controversy because of all the talk about water shortages and old town water pipes not being renewed.
Upper Hutt, which was not previously so much in the firing line, has suddenly emerged as the worse area in the Wellington region for water wastage according to a report. But this far from true says UH Mayor Wayne Guppy who is also much opposed to water metering as a solution. And I would tend to agree strongly with Guppy on both counts.

However I stepped over a very obvious water leakage in Ward Street, Wallaceville about a month ago and popped into the property next to the leaking pipe which happened to be a dairy store and the owner said he had already advised the Upper Hutt City Council. You might have to wait a few weeks before any action, I told him. Too true. As of October 30 still no repair job. Oh, well leak-on while us ratepayers wait for our local taxes to increase due to rising water and sewerage reticulation costs.

A first for Friday Feathered Friend - a pic of redpolls in Upper Hutt -courtesy of Rosa Marie.
"The great thing about going back to a favourite place is that you are always guaranteed to see something a bit different every time. I couldn't get enough of the redpolls that I happened to spot bathing at the water's edge near the playground. It was magical!
Unfortunately the ducklings had gone from at least about 30 to none at all yesterday so I think that the kāhu would have been working his way through them.
Plenty of yellowhammers and rosellas to be seen too! I loved seeing the Australian shovellers up at the Bridge by the Hobbit sign."
