It's that spooky time of year and while there are some streets that welcome Halloween and set themselves up for trick or treating, there are other houses where you're more likely to get an earful than Halloween lollies. Do you think there's a place for Halloween in NZ?

A bad sign is when it seems obvious that insurance companies are going to raise their premiums for property insurance beyond the affordability of the average homeowner or retailer - and even suspend insurance cover.

So this is what is forecasted for a large majority of the Lower Hutt sea side, low-lying suburb of Petone as well as areas heading towards Eastborne.
The issue is climate change which is now well embedded and will see a rising sea and excessive rainfall during year upon year.
As well there is the sinking of the land to contend with.
And there is little that the local authority or the residents of the affected areas can do to barricade against the real prospect of submerging properties within the next 15 years rain-wise and 30 years sea-wise.
Jackson Street with its huge retail presence including around 80 eateries and housing beyond Jackson Street in both directions will be swept away or uninhabitable and all either uninsurable or unaffordability of being insured.
I have friends who help design the only new residential home in Jackson Street in maybe 60 years. And their flash two storey modern home of some 3 years will be mainly useless against the torrent of flooding.
I spent all my teenage years living in Petone, played rugby for Petone and later was for a time connected with the Petone Athletic Club and worked in Petone for two different companies. But my advice is for those living there right now is to get out and live somewhere less likely to be severely waterlogged. You can sell at the market price right now to many silly or naive people unaware or unperturbed by what the future has in store.

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.

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.

"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."
