new Council fees and charges for the 2018-2019 financial year

29 Tuesday May 2018

Posted by Waikanae watchers in Uncategorized

≈ 4 Comments

If you do anything that involves paying a fee to the council (other than rates and water charges which will be confirmed next month) such as owning a dog or selling food, this is the 31-page pdf on the council website.

It is the subject of a councilors decision at this Thursday’s meeting, but they are sure to simply rubber-stamp it.

US Medal of Honor

This commemorates American service personnel killed in action and is notable for Kapiti people as in World War II about 15,000 marines were stationed on the coast over 1942-1944 many of whom lost their lives fighting Japanese militaristic imperialism in the Pacific. See this article on the Kapiti Independent News website.

The picture shows the imagery on the Medal of Honor, the highest military honor medal for bravery above and beyond the call of duty.

don’t litter the beaches, including with cigarette butts

nobutts

If you have to smoke and use the sand as an ashtray, don’t leave the butt there — extinguish it and then put it in a bin!  The same applies to sidewalks and footpaths.

recommendations for (dis-)engaging with KCDC female staff members

26 Saturday May 2018

Posted by Waikanae watchers in Uncategorized

≈ 10 Comments

The following are a few suggestions that should be helpful to males to avoid being victimised, defamed and arrested when entering KCDC premises if they have ever been critical of KCDC lies, extravagance, corruption or ineptitude:

  1. Do not smile at female staff as this might be construed as flirtatious.
  2. Do not grimace in their presence for any reason, as this might be construed as threatening.
  3. Do not walk slowly as this might be regarded as stalking.
  4. Do not walk quickly as this might be thought aggressive.
  5. Do not carry a walking stick or zimmer frame, as these might be regarded as weapons.
  6. Do not enter the building if you have a facial scar, as this will be regarded as “creepy”.
  7. Do not say “hello”, “have a nice day”, “how are you today?”, or any other ordinary pleasantries, as these might be regarded as “pick-up lines”.
  8. Say nothing complimentary, as this will be regarded as sexual harassment.
  9. Do not walk past a female staffer any closer than 2 metres as this might be regarded as attempted sexual assault.
  10. We hope your experience with KCDC is safe, friendly and pleasant. Have a nice day.
