York County commissioners on Wednesday approved funding for two separate projects, using funding from natural gas drilling fees collected across the state.

They approved $32,500 for the first part of improving the Indian Steps property in Lower Chanceford Township. A museum on the property houses American Indian artifacts.

They also approved giving $30,000 for York City Little League and the city over three years. The money will go toward replacing bleachers and other improvements at multiple parks that members of the league and others use, according to a letter York Mayor Kim Bracey wrote to commissioners.

Bracey requested the funds on behalf of the league, which she said has provided recreational opportunities to several thousand city children. Planned improvements include leveling the playing surface on the baseball fields.

The county will provide $10,000 for this year, and then the same amount in both 2015 and 2016.

Doug Kilgore, a former York County commissioner, is leading a committee for Indian Steps improvements. In a letter to commissioners, he said the committee wants to add modern rest rooms and air conditioning. Members also want enhancements to the walkways, parking and public areas.

The website for the Indian Steps Museum says it has operated as a public museum since the 1940s. The origin of the museum goes back to the beginning of the 20th century with the late John Edward Vandersloot, according to Kilgore and the museum website.

"He absolutely loved collecting arrowheads," Kilgore told commissioners at their weekly meeting.

More lights and CCTV cameras being installed on a pathway near Wellington's Victoria University after two attacks are a good start, but more needs to be done to address safety concerns, the university's students' association says.

It's believed the same man attacked two women near the walkway, which runs between The Terrace and Boyd Wilson Field, over Easter weekend.

Police have increased patrols in the area, but say the pathway isn't safe and they're urging people not to walk through the dark, bush-clad and isolated area alone.

Police say there have been other attacks in the last three months and students for years have regarded the walkway, which is a key thoroughfare between the city and the university, as dangerous.

Work is underway to install CCTV cameras and more lights, but Victoria University of Wellington Students' Association (VUWSA) president Sonya Clark says that's not enough.

"It's not just about one set of steps. Students tell us they feel unsafe around Dixon St, Devon St, and the many steps, pathways and alleys in Wellington after dark," she said.

"A coordinated response between the university and the Wellington City Council is needed to improve walkways, and condemn sexual assault."

VUWSA is calling for the introduction of emergency help stations on campus, with a panic button, phone and light attached.

There are similar stations already at Otago and Canterbury universities.

"It isn't good enough to tell women, especially students, that they shouldn't walk alone at night," Ms Clark said.

Students call for a co-ordinated response to recent assaults on Wellington pathway

Victoria University of Wellington Students Association President Sonya Clark sends her support to the victims of this weekends assaults and is calling for greater action to keep students safe on campus and around Wellington.

The recent assaults have shocked the student community, and come after years of warnings about safety issues in the area.

VUWSA had raised students concerns about the Boyd Wilson Field pathway for a number of years. After working with Victoria University, Wellington City Council and Te Aro School, we finally saw the installation of improved LED lighting and the removal of some shrubbery in 2013.

Clark was pleased with the Universitys actions this week, saying that the installation of increased lighting and CCTV cameras was a good start, but was only part of the solution."

Its not just about one set of steps. Students tell us they feel unsafe around Dixon Street, Devon Street, and the many steps, pathways and alleys in Wellington after dark. A co-ordinated response between the University and the Wellington City Council is needed to improve walkways, and condemn sexual assault.

We want to see the introduction of emergency help stations, like the ones at Otago and Canterbury Universities, with a panic button, phone, and light attached. The introduction of a service where Campus Security walk people off campus at night is also a change VUWSA would like to see."

Clark further emphasized the importance of not blaming victims, saying it isnt good enough to tell women, especially students, that they shouldnt walk alone at night.

Taxis are expensive and unaffordable: it is unreasonable to expect students to catch a taxi every time they work late at the library or in town.

While lighting and CCTV may act as a deterrent, assaults are not caused by a pathway, but people who hurt other people. It is those actions which must be condemned. The University and the Council must work closer with organisations like the Sexual Abuse Prevention Network to follow best practice in this area."
