Mother continues push to make cycling on footpath legal for kids
BODY:
A Lower Hutt mother and cycling enthusiast is a step closer to getting a law change allowing people - especially children - to ride on the footpath. Kathryn Ryan speaks to Jo Clendon who successfully petitioned Parliament's Transport and Industrial Relations Committee to look into the matter and it's now asking the public for submissions on the matter.
EXTENDED BODY:
A Lower Hutt mother is a step closer to getting the law changed so children can cycle on the footpath.
Jo Clendon has successfully petitioned Parliament's transport select committee to look into the matter and it is now asking the public for submissions.
Most Australian states allow children to cycle legally on the footpath, but age limits vary by state.
In New Zealand, it's illegal for anyone to ride on the footpath unless they are delivering mail or newspapers, or riding a bike with wheels less than 355mm diameter. That would typically be a child's tricycle or small bike.
Ms Clendon told Nine to Noon there was widespread lack of knowledge about footpath cycling law in New Zealand.
"Most people don't realise it's illegal. Certainly most children don't realise it's illegal. The Office of the Children's Commissioner did a survey and found 70 percent of kids didn't realise it was illegal."
Parents had told her police officers were taking a variety of approaches and some children were told off.
"It's really mixed. I spoke to our local constable who goes into the schools and said 'what's the deal?' and he said 'oh it's something we turn a blind eye to unless someone gets hurt'.
"But other parents have told me their kids have been told off by the police. And kids are so law abiding that would just shatter them.
"It's about taking away a law that's antiquated and silly... and doesn't provide any protection when things do go wrong."
The deadline for submissions to the select committee is 12 October.

Anti-fashion fashionista Dee Goldberg
BODY:
Kathryn Ryan talks to Melbourne's Dee Goldberg about her wearable creations which are always colourful, interesting and above all - humorous. She says she came late - in her forties - to the idea of having much more fun with clothing and it all started when her husband said to her when they were in a shopping mall "Why don't you buy yourself a little hat?"
EXTENDED BODY:
Dee Goldberg says she came late to the idea of having fun with clothing.
She was in her forties when it all started. Her husband said to her when they were in a shopping mall "Why don't you buy yourself a little hat?"
It was that remark that led to what she describes as “the beginning of the rainbow unfurling”.
Dee grew up in South Africa, raised by a liberal mother and conservative father during the apartheid era. She moved to Australia with her husband in 1981 to escape the apartheid, which she strongly opposed. It was only when she arrived in Sydney that Dee really experimented with her sense of style.
"I think Australia was my chrysalis, in that I could develop and be myself. I just love Australia with every nerve and passion in my body… I felt freed when I came to live here in every way.”
Once she did find her true style, “It was like a projectile rainbow bursting from my body”, Dee says.
That rainbow is made up of items that have been collected over the years, and her style is arresting and impossible to categorise - an ever-changing mish-mash of clashing colours, fabrics and historical references.
She says because of this, her style remains timeless and there is no such thing as “fashion” in her world.
“My style is all recyclable goods and it takes years in the making. I’ll start collecting maybe a badge or I’ve seen a picture of something on a t shirt, then I put it in a plastic bag, then when I go to markets my mind will go towards what I am collecting and then I will make something but it’s never finished.”
But her keen sense of style and passion for collecting assorted objects to create outfits with does sometimes get in the way.
“It can be very exhausting and there is a very fine line of who runs who. Does it run me or do I run it? Often I have to pull back because I get distracted all of the time – as I put the washing away, I find a little bit of a t shirt that will inflame a thought in my head. I’ll pull that out, then I will go and pull something else out, so people arrive at my house it looks like a bomb, because I am constantly doing stuff that I shouldn’t be doing.”
Dee’s sense of humour is evident in the clothes she wears – her wardrobe includes a garment made entirely of gloves, a colourful dinosaur onesie and a headband of plastic Barbie boots - and is especially useful when she gets pins in her backside from pinning on the bed, she says.
She uses her humour as a weapon when dealing with unkind attention from strangers.
“I once had a truck driver who said, ‘Love, are you on the way to the circus?’ and I looked up at him with a big smile on my face and… he was wearing his little navy blue shorts that were so tight with a big belly hanging over it and I said ‘Love, from a style icon himself!’ and he said, ‘Touché’.
“You’ve got to have a bit of banter with people. They’re not talking about my heart and my inner soul. If they’re talking about my clothes, I can wear that. If someone said something about a flaw in my character, I would really feel it.”
Now she lives in Melbourne, after resisting her husband’s requests to join him there for years. The weather and the locals’ predilection for black clothing initially put Dee off the idea, but she has since fallen in love with the Southern City.
“It shocked me even though the weather is so awful. In Sydney you are fuelled by the sun and in Melbourne you are fuelled by the soul.”

Welsh rugby referee Nigel Owens
BODY:
Welshman Nigel Owens is one of the highest-ranked & most respected refs in rugby union. He talks to Kathryn Ryan about officiating at the last year's Rugby World Cup final, being openly gay and his off-field career as an entertainer. He's coming to New Zealand next month for an in conversation event presented by Auckland Writers Festival.
EXTENDED BODY:
Nigel Owens is the most capped referee in international rugby, with 71 games under his belt. Off the field, he is a rugby chat show host on and has his own quiz show – both in Welsh.
He is also rugby’s first openly gay personality, who speaks frankly about his struggles with self-acceptance, bulimia and a suicide attempt in the autobiography Half Time.
Owens credits his traditional Welsh upbringing – in a village of 150 people, 90 percent of whom spoke Welsh – with making him the man he became.
“A lot of people think life is what you make it, and I think life makes you.”
As a boy, he says he loved to sing at chapel and school and he loved rugby. He played as a full back, but says he wasn’t particularly gifted, drawing unfavourable comparisons to the Welsh rugby star JPR Williams.
That, along with a school teacher’s encouragement, was “the trigger to go and pick up the whistle” he says.
According to Owens, a good ref knows when to stay out of the game.
“The easy part of refereeing is picking up the law book and learning the rules. The difficult part of refereeing is knowing when not to blow the whistle.
“If you get the balance right of applying the laws when they need to be applied, but also knowing when you don’t need to apply them, then you can help contribute to the flow of the game.”
It is always the players who make the game, Owens says.
“A poor referee can spoil a good game of rugby, but no matter how good a referee you are, you can’t make a bad game of rugby good.”
Owens fondly remembers officiating at what some consider the greatest international rugby game ever - the championship decider between South Africa and New Zealand at Ellis Park in 2013.
“Which was the most wonderful game of rugby, but the credit of the rugby that day has to go down to the players, I only played a very small part in that.”
He says he has deep regrets about his attempted suicide at 26.
“It’s something I’ll regret for the rest of my life, what I put my mum and dad through.”
“I left them a note that said I couldn’t carry on any more, they found me six or seven hours later by police helicopter and airlifted me to hospital. Another 20 minutes and it would have been too late to save me.”
After Owens went public with his revelation, people with similar stories began to get in touch with him – and he reconsidered his initial reluctance to write a memoir.
One in particular – from a mother – convinced him to open up.
“Her son had read my story online. He had tried to take his own life at 16 and about two months later he’d read my story and he plucked up the courage to tell his parents ‘This is why I tried to take my own life’.’”
“They were fine and told him, don’t worry.”
Owens hopes his book will help many other young men who are struggling.
“I hope it encourages other people to be who they are, and be themselves.”
Nigel Owens will speak at Auckland Grammar School on 20 October as part of Auckland Writers Festival.

EXTENDED BODY:
Visiting Welsh singer-songwriter, Cate Le Bon, performs live in the Auckland studio and speaks to Jesse Mulligan.
Born in the hamlet of Penboyr in Wales, Los Angeles based musician Cate Le Bon writes surrealist folk songs, and sings them with a gorgeous lilting tone that has been compared to both Nico and Kate Bush.
Though this is the first time she's been in New Zealand to play shows, she recalls an unhappy time here on her last flying visit. "I was curled up in a corner, trying to find a plug for my phone. I was crying." She'd been on tour with a band from the U.S. who had warned her en-route of the dangers of traveling around South America. "They said, if you go by yourself, you will die."
As it turns out, death is a subject that crops up a bit in her song lyrics. "it's not always sung in a morbid fashion though, you know. It's just something that's weaved into the fabric of everything. Existence and whatnot."
This Saturday she plays at Auckland's Tuning Fork with her band, two Welsh musicians and Takapuna born drummer Daniel Ward (ex The Sneaks and Lawrence Arabia.) But for this session, she strips it back solo.

If you are one of those people who puts off going to the dentist because you don't like pain, or cost, we have some good news for you.

It's unlikely humans will ever evolve to grow a third set of teeth, as evolutionary change only occur when our lives depend on it. But tooth scientists are getting close to being able to teach teeth to repair themselves naturally.

Teeth contain stem cells which normally assist the repair of small cracks and lesions, but aren’t capable of helping to repair the larger the holes created by drilling after tooth decay, Professor Sharpe says.
Stem cells have also been identified in periodontal ligaments – the very complicated tissue that connects our teeth and bones and acting like a shock absorber when we’re eating, for example.
Professor Sharpe says tooth regeneration is looking possible through the creation and transplant of a miniature tooth 'primordium' – a ball of cells which resemble the way a tooth appears when it first develops in an embryo. Teeth could potentially then grow in the adult mouth as they would in an embryo.
Human teeth formed outside the embryo so far have only been observed when something has gone wrong – such as when teeth grow in a dental tumour or ovarian cyst.
Dr Sharpe’s team hopes to discover what is happening in these cases in order to stimulate a process that usually occurs only in the embryo.
Professor Paul Sharpe works at the Sharpe Lab, King's College, London.

1.15 Norm Hewitt on Rugby Culture
The Rugby Union and judiciary have come under fire in the past 48 hours over the way a young player was dealt with after attacking and seriously injuring four people on a night out in Wellington. Losi Filipo was 17 when he assaulted a group of people, along with his brother. He was discharged without conviction over the incident, with the judge noting the consequences of a conviction would be out of all proportion to the gravity of the offence given his future as a rugby player. He's now severed ties with Wellington rugby, and the New Zealand Rugby Union has come under fire for not contacting his victims nor condenming Filipo's behaviour. Former All Black Norm Hewitt has had his own struggles in the past and has looked at ways to make bad young men better older ones.

3:35 BBC Witness Bible in Schools
In 1963 a third of schools in the US had to change their rules on Bible reading after a Supreme Court decision. It all began when a teenager refused to read the Bible in class. 16-year-old Ellery Schempp took his school to court accusing them of violating the first amendment by forcing him to read the Bible at the start of every school day. It challenged the principle of a separation of church and state enshrined in the US Constitution.
