A local teacher has been pre-sented with his prizes on Friday
after winning the Warehouse Stationarys most inspirational teacher
award.
Wadestown teacher Richard Smith was awarded with the
Inspirational Teacher award dur-ing a school assembly on
Friday.
Richard was overwhelmed by the support and appreciation he had
received
This is an amazing day, he said to the assembly.
It is very special to have someone say something like this about
you, but nothing I do I do by myself its a team effort, he
said.
The teacher was the overall winner, surpassing 5537 other
nominations in the fi fth year of the inspirational teacher
cam-paign.
The nomination written by a parent of one of Richards students,
Maria Edwards, ex-plained why this teacher is one of the best.
After having children in education for the past 18 years I knew
Richard was not an ordinary teacher.
For the past 18 months, he has given my daughter and every other
child in his year seven and eight class the gift of a lifetime -
the ability to believe in themselves and the skills to learn in the
way that best suits them, the nomination stated.
Warehouse Stationerys busi-ness development manager Mata Te
Pania said the competition has gone from strength to strength every
year.
It is something people really get behind.
We all know how teachers go above and beyond the call of duty,
she said.
Husband of Richards nomina-tor, Ant Edwards explained why the
couple wanted to give something back to Richard.
As soon as we met Richard we knew there was something
exceptional about him.
We wanted to do something nice for him so Maria decided
Wadestown teacher Richard Smith receives his award for New
Zealands most inspirational teacher.
New Zealands Most Inspirational Teacherto nominate him for the
most inspirational teacher award, he said.
Richard received a number of gifts including a $5000 travel
card, a $200 gift card, a box of stationery and a Notebook.
Principal Sally Barrett thanked Richard for his contri-bution to
the school.
Today we are celebrating Mr Smiths amazing achievement.
Thank you for your contribu-tion through your energy, vital-ity,
passion and commitment to childrens education, she said.
Richard and his family will be heading over to Cambodia early
next year to educate children and help those in need.
Youth awarded for community involvement By Sharnahea Wilson
The Johnsonville Youth Awards saw another successful year with
19 young students being awarded for their efforts over the past
year.
Chair of the Youth Award Trustees, Chris Kirk-Burnnand, said the
event held in John-sonville shopping centre, on October 22, was a
great success and the Trust is looking to grow the event even
further.
Each year there are so many outstanding applicants that im-press
the Trustees with their involvement in the wider com-munity.
The Trust is focused on youth development and giving grants
to young people to help with education, sport and the arts,
Chris said.
One of last years awardees Richard Kay spoke on the night.
Richard captained the Under 19 mens Underwater Hockey Team and
went on to win a Gold medal for New Zealand.
Local winners this year includ-ed Francis Rankin of Newlands
College for having received one of the highest awards a St Johns
cadet leader can attain be-ing selected to represent New Zealand
for St Johns youth at international competitions.
Laila Smith of Onslow College was also awarded for her success
in gymnastics and circus arts, as well as her keen leadership
skills in helping others. MP Peter Dunne was the
guest speaker on the night and presented this years awards.
Johnsonville Youth Grants has now granted over $565,000 to 325
young people since its establishment in 1987.
Core funding this year came from Autoshop Group which has
donated over $260,000 in the last ten years.
For over 20 years the awards have been hosted at the
John-sonville Rotary Club.
The move to Johnsonville shopping centre is a step to-wards
getting greater involve-ment from the North Wellington business
community, Chris said. Charlotte Hollywood receiving her award from

Continued from page 1Its about practicing over and over
again, and connecting with the charac-ters, to get it right,
Cole said.
West Side Story is a modern day musi-cal inspired by
Shakespeares Romeo and Juliet that follows the love story of
characters Tony and Maria.
Natasha said her character Maria has to hit some incredibly high
notes but she said she has been improving throughout the
rehearsals.
Sarah McBride who will play the role of Consuelo agreed that the
songs were a big challenge.
It is diffi cult to perfect but it is also so satisfying when
you get it right.
Onslow College has become known for its productions directed by
Ms Delahunty with the help of musical director Justin Pearce.
We try to pull of the big ones, Ms Delahunty explained.
She said the pair had tackled many classics including Sweeny
Todd, Les Miserables and A MidSummer Nights Dream.
Westside story is such a celebrated play it is one of the big
ones that everyone recognises but the dancing will be played down
to focus on the singing and acting, Ms Delahunty said.
James Mills Workman, who will play the character Diesel, will be
singing and acting for the fi rst time in front of a live
audience.
Justin had been on my back to sing.He said when there wasnt a
spot in the
orchestra for him, because there were no musical pieces that
featured the viola, he decided to audition as an actor.
Along as singing and acting, the multi-talented students Sarah
and Huia will also put their efforts into making costumes for the
show.
Some of the performers recalled being part of school productions
when they were year nines.
They said they used to look up to the year 13s and now being in
their shoes feels unreal. Tickets for West Side Story are
avail-able from Onslow College. The play will run from June 8 to 11
at 7.30pm.
Students to tackle West Side Story
Cole Hampton and Natasha Parrant will take on the roles of Tony
and Maria in Onslow Colleges rendition of West Side Story.

Rain didnt deter students and teachers from celebrating the offi
cial opening of the brand new Bellevue School playground last
week.
After their old playground had to be pulled down due to health
and safety reasons, the school community in New-lands banded
together to fundraise for a new one.
The old playground was pulled down last November to make way for
the new two-part playground, with the main part in the front of the
school and new swings and a seesaw around the back of the hall.
There was a very hard working group of parents that fundraised
for the play-ground, Principal Karen Hardie said.
A huge amount of the money made was raised locally.
The school had also received generous grants to help make the
playground happen.
Parents, teachers, students and other members of the community
gathered last Friday for the cutting of the red rib-bon by the
oldest and youngest students on the new facility after it was
blessed by local Kaumatua Joe McLeod.
After year six students Greg Parkinson and Allana Caldwell,
along with their year one buddies Lucas Merdler and Manav Kapadia
cut the ribbon, the play-ground was offi cially declared open.
Karen said the children went through a grieving process for
their old play-ground but they were very excited for the opening of
their new one.
The building of the new playground happened so quickly which was
great, Karen said.
In the planning stages of the new jungle gym, teachers and
students had the chance to say what they wanted it to look
like.
It was nice seeing the kids pointing to parts of the playground
and saying thats what I asked for, Karen said.

The playground was established for children of all ages and

It will be enjoyed by the nearly 300 students at Bellevue school
as well as children from the nearby kindergarten.

A popular Karori rest home celebrated a milestone in its mission
to become one of New Zealands fully registered Eden homes.
Huntleigh Home, operated by Presbyterian Support Cen-trals
Enliven aged care arm, achieved fi ve of the 10 princi-ples needed
to become a fully accredited Eden Alternative home.
To celebrate this achieve-ment, the home threw a party on
Friday, May 20 with around 60 people attending, including
residents, their family and friends, staff and volunteers.
Huntleigh Home manager Suzanne Simpson said the Eden Alternative
was a unique elder-directed model of care that followed 10
principles which worked against the plagues of loneliness,
helpless-ness and boredom, which are recognised as major concerns
for elders nationwide.
Since we started introduc-ing the Eden Alternative we
have seen a huge difference in the morale of residents. They are
more social, more enthusiastic and much more involved with what
goes on in their home.
Residents have a say in everything here. Thats why Eden is so
different to other models of aged care and were very proud that we
have an Eden home, Suzanne said.
Enliven general manager Nicola Turner said the home applied for
four principles and the auditors were so impressed they gave
Huntleigh Home fi ve.
Originally rest homes were pretty grim and over the last 100
years there wasnt a lot of change. They were hospitals and werent
very nice environ-ments, but Enliven has come so far. We have made
a home.
Only four homes in New Zealand have been awarded all 10 Eden
Alternative principles and Enliven operates three of these homes -
Cashmere Home in Johnsonville and Levin Home for War Veterans

proud indeed to be part of an Eden home.

Children and teachers dressed up to represent an abundance of
different cultures for St Theresas ethnicity parade last week.
St Teresas School in Karori decided to celebrate all the
dif-ferent cultures they have in their community by dressing up as
different cultures and parading around the school court.
Deputy Principal Katie Fisher said the cultural celebrations
were week-long.
We have had activities all week, including different guest
speakers coming in and talking to the students about other
cultures.
The guest speakers included
an Iraqui parent, a teacher from Liverpool talking to the
students about Liverpudlian culture and a South African parent
teaching children the traditional gumboot dance.
One of our teachers is Irish and she is going to teach the
students how to play the Irish game Hurling.
The children got a history les-sons when learning Hurling as it
is one of the worlds oldest sports which has been played in Ireland
for over 800 years.
She said the school had cel-ebrated its different cultures in
the past but not to this extent.
The children love dressing up, Katie said.

knit-ting, fi ngernail art, books, clay designs and more.
The Key to low carbon Transforming Wellingtons public transport
fl eet to electric vehicles is an essential part of reducing
Wellingtons carbon emissions and meeting the commitment to be a Low

recently consulted on its draft Low Carbon Capital plan to address
climate change in parallel to its Annual Plan 2016-17 consultation.
One of the plans three pillars was Changing the way we move, which

A talented, local student is taking on a challenging role in a
chilling, dystopian drama to be performed at Bats Theatre.
Queen Margaret College student Ilena Shadbolt will take to the
stage this month as Joan the central character in Caryl Churchills
play Far Away.
Directed by Tabitha Arthur, the play will be performed as part
of its double season of Carol Churchill, one of the most critically
acclaimed English playwrights.
Far Away is a dystopian fairytale exploring terror, corruption
and declin-ing mental health, and the impact these have on
individuals and communities.
Year 11 student Ilena was looking forward to opening night,
especially because the appearance will be her second on stage.
Her stage debut was in 2014 when she starred in Annie the
Musical performed
at the St James Theatre, Wellington and the Civic Theatre,
Auckland.
Far Away is a very different play to Annie and also does not
involve any singing which makes it quite different from musical
theatre, Ilena said.
A fan of both theatre and fi lm, Ilena acted in a short fi lm
Sine Condicion Amoris last year and was working on a feature fi lm
The Shadow Master based on original play Dear Brutus by J M Barrie
who wrote Peter Pan.
I enjoy acting because it gives me a chance to attempt to
completely put myself into another persons character, thoughts and
feelings and it gives me a rush to do so.
Far Away will be performed from Thursday, 19 May to Saturday, 4
June.

The Ngaio and Khandallah com-munities are excited about the
up-coming offi cial opening of the new and improved Onslow
Community Church.
After spending the last two years intensively renovating the
site of the church and the connected kindergar-ten, the facility
will host an offi cial opening on June 11.
We are encouraging all members of the community to come along
and have a look at what we have been doing for the last two years,
Church trustee Sym Gardiner said.
The new building featured a large hall, a kindergarten, space
for chil-drens church, meeting rooms and more.
The sun streams nicely into the childrens church, Sym
explained.
Seven years ago, in the space where the church hall now is,
stood two fl ats. The fl ats were demolished to make room for a
larger church
facility and a bigger play area for the kindergarten.
Sym said a lot of the work that had been done on the space was
completed with the help of the congregation.
We also had some help from MMM the Christian Serving
Ministry.
This Christian organisation can assist with building, renovating
and maintaining properties used in conjunction with Christian
activity.
He said the church also received a very generous grant which
helped immensely with the renovation process.
We are setting up for future gen-erations.
Sym said there were just minor details that needed to be
completed before the big opening.
It is a lot more useable now its a fantastic multi-use
facility.
The offi cial opening will take place on Saturday, June 11 and
everyone is welcome to attend.

New and improved church set to openA body was found in a Central
Wel-
lington Apartment on the morning of Wednesday, May 18. The body
of an elderly man was found by Police in a Housing New Zealand
apartment block in Dixon Street, Te Aro. Police said it appeared
the body had been there for some time and the death was not thought
to be suspicious. Police were alerted to the mans body by
neigh-bours who had not seen the man for a while. The matter has
been referred to the coroner while Police work closely with Housing
New Zealand.
Karoris Marsden School Year 11 geog-raphy students took a eld
trip of the co ee variety. Last week they got to see behind the
scenes of what goes on at Wellington co ee company Emporio, one of
the four original Wellington co ee roasters. The class study topic
was The Global Caf - exploration of the world's co ee trade, from
producer to the consumer. The students were toured through the
roastery, dem-onstrating the production process, from roasting to
distribution out to Emporios caf and corporate clients.
Co ee on the Curriculum
Wellington Mayor Celia Wade-Brown welcomed the inclusion of the
Capital City in New Zealand Trade and En-terprises hotel investment
initiative to help expand New Zealands hotel capacity. Wellington
is a business and tourism hotspot and the city needs more hotel
rooms in the near future, so we fully support the NZTE initiative,
she said. Wellington business has increasingly taken on an
international focus with delegations and business partners among
frequent visitors to Wellington.

A Wellington based rising star hit the small screen last month
after landing a role on the New Zealand television show Shortland
Street.
Queen Margaret College student Madeleine Knowles received a
special belated Christmas present when she found out she had landed
an acting role on the popular drama series.
I was lost for words. Mum and I were jumping up and down in the
living room, Madeleine said.
Although she had previously ap-peared in ads and small
television roles, Madeleine was ecstatic to land the role of
teenager, Lottie.
Lottie means well but ends up getting herself stuck in some
sticky situations and has to face the consequences.
The young actor described her fi rst day on set as a blur.
They set up two or three cam-eras at once from different angles,
fi lmed the scene and if the fi rst take has no technical glitches,
then they wrap the scene. It is that fast.
Madeleine said her time on set had been a great learning
experi-ence, particularly in the importance of time management.
It is a lot of work to learn a new script everyday as well as do
all of my school work.

Tracking Seismic activityNew earthquake forecasting methods
could help Wellington prepare for the next big one, two Victoria
University of Wel-lington academics said. Professor Martha Savage
and Associate Professor Simon Lamb from Victorias School of
Geography, Environment and Earth Sciences said scientists were
thinking seriously about new methods to track seismic activity. The
current understanding of earthquakes will be explored in an
upcoming public talk at Victoria University by two international
experts. To RSVP to the event at 6pm on Thursday, May 26 email

A stretch of Belmont Stream in New-lands will be well looked
after thanks to Newlands Intermediates Take Action for Water
project.
It was hoped they could restore their part of the stream to
pristine condition through planting trees and maintaining the
surrounding environment.
Student Pieter Lelieveld, 12, said the project was undertaken to
protect the stream and the wildlife within it.
We are doing it to improve the envi-ronment in our community. It
will make the water a better place and protect the animals in the
area.
Students, parents and Wellington City Council representatives
gathered at Seton Nossiter Park last Thursday to launch the
project.
This was part of the nationwide Million Metres Streams movement
in which people took over part of a
stream and looked to restore it to peak condition, improving
water quality and the health of the plants and creatures living in
it.
Newlands will be responsible for a 120-metre stretch of the
stream, and will be planting trees on both banks.
Pieter was joined by fellow students Georgia Lincoln, 12, Tania
Guttenbiel, 12, Ohariu MP Peter Dunne and council park ranger Matt
Robertson to plant the fi rst tree on the river bank. Other
dignitaries at the event included Deputy Mayor Justin Lester and
Peter Gilberd.
Mr Lester said the project would help restore fl ora and fauna,
and applauded Newlands Intermediate for leading by example. They
were already seeing birds returning in great numbers.
Mr Dunne was equally full of praise for the school and their
involvement in such an important task.
Every big journey begins with a posi-tive step forward. Thats
what [they] are doing with this project.

Students taking steps to protect environment
Housing New Zealand is set to demolish its units on the corner
of Frankmoore Avenue and Phillip Street in Johnsonville soon.
Ohariu MP Peter Dunne said he has been advised by Housing New
Zealand that it planned to demolish the units after they were
damaged three years ago.
The complex was damaged in the 2013 earthquakes and Housing New
Zealand says that the costs of making the building safer and more
weather tight would be signifi cant.
Housing New Zealand says the demolition will occur shortly, and
it is currently considering what to do with the land, including
whether to redevelop it, Mr Dunne said.
Mr Dunne said while he understood
the reasons for the demolition decision, he was unhappy former
residents and neighbours had to wait so long for a decision to be
fi nalised.
These earthquakes occurred three years ago, and residents were
moved out quickly afterwards.
It is therefore a little hard to under-stand why it has taken so
long to decide the fate of the complex, he said.
Mr Dunne hoped Housing New Zea-land would redevelop the site for
public housing as there was still a signifi cant need in the
Johnsonville area.
Anyone wanting more information on Housing New Zealands plans
can contact the regional Stakeholder Relationship Manager of
Housing New Zealand on (04) 439 3078.

A four-year-old Johnsonville girl found two sick kittens which
had been aban-doned in the Johnsonville playground on Saturday

The small ginger kittens were given over to the SPCA Wellington

countries. I like the Viking books and the World War I and II
books.
Ajay Gounder,Bellevue SchoolI like ones with dinosaurs because
they were real and you can fi nd fossils.
Brayden Rutene, Bellevue SchoolI like Goosebumps books because
theyre about kids fi nding out weird things and theyre adventurous
and a bit scary.
Maxine Avery, Bellevue SchoolI like The Great Escape because its
a sad but also funny story about two dogs that escape to fi nd
their owners.
Gabriella Joffe-Devoy,Bellevue SchoolHarry Potter and the Order
of the Phoenix is my favourite because it has the most adventures
in it.

Dear Ed, Further to your Graeme Sawyer article, I would like to
share my thoughts with you as this is part of an issue which
concerns me greatly. I feel the council have a very "shrug it off"
attitude to parking and roading infrastructure in general. This was
certainly the feeling we were left with after meeting with a
council representa-tive over the proposed Newlands medium density
housing. Even as it is, Newlands Road is a disaster at peak time,
with cars parked on both sides of the road, buses and
an ever increasing traffi c fl ow. As for allowing breeches of
the rules in central Johnsonville because the residents will not
need cars: Of course they will have cars, which will need parking.
There are other issues besides cycle ways. It appears Justin Lester
realises something needs to be done about the parking problem, in
fact the housing developments in gen-eral, for which I commend him.
Yours faithfully,
Mary Gray, Newlands Abridged
Dear Ed, Peter Grahams letter (11 May) highlighting the problems
with car parking in Wellington is barking up the wrong tree. There
is certainly a car parking issue but the answer is more likely to
be a decent park and ride facility, probably a multi-storey car
park adjacent to the railway station. The roads around the station
are clogged with cars parked all day while their drivers work in
town. Focusing on the proposal to build a new library in
Johnsonville isnt
going to fix parking problems. And I strongly disagree with his
assertion that Johnsonville has a perfectly good library. Despite
the great staff making the best of it for library users,
Johnsonville has a cramped, dingy, uninviting library. Public
libraries are a cornerstone of a communitys education and
recreational life and our com-munity deserves better than its
currently got.
Brenda Pilott, Johnsonville
Barking up the wrong tree
Newlands parking a disaster
COMMUNITY HERO
Not your typical hero
Sponsored by:
In Johnsonville a fl at under construction in Phillip Street was
targeted by thieves who dismantled temporary fencing around the
site and stole three large aluminium joinery windows which were
awaiting installation. An attempt was made to break into a fl at in
Macaulay Street. The tenant found jemmy marks around the front door
and the lock loose. Although damaged, the door held fi rm and no
entry was gained. A blue Subaru Impreza station wagon parked locked
during the day at the corner of Bould Street and Broderick Road was
entered but there was no sign of forced entry. A radar detector and
charging cord was stolen and wires to the stereo system and
speakers had been pulled out. A red Suzuki Swift
hatchback parked overnight in private parking outside a fl at in
Broderick Road was found the next morning jacked up with the left
rear wheel missing. The letterbox of a house in Burgess Road was
damaged when an offender pulled it out of the ground and removed
the number from it.
In Newlands the garage of a house in Spenmoor Street was entered
through an unlocked door and a messy search made of the contents.
It does not appear that anything was stolen, possibly the burglars
were disturbed and left the scene.
In Ngaio a trailer was stolen from the front garden of a house
in Collingwood Street. It had been chained to a retaining wall and
bolt cutters were used to cut it free.
EYE ON CRIME
By Sharnahea Wilson
This months Community Hero Award goes to a Newlands local who
helps out an elderly Johnsonville woman out of the goodness of his
own heart.
About five years ago Willie Watson met Grace Campbell and has
been walking her dog with his own every week since.
Grace had a home helper who was friends with Willies wife Lisa
Johns. The helper and Lisa would walk the two dogs each week.
Somewhere along the way I meet Grace and her dog and I now walk
the dogs every Saturday and some Sundays.
I give her a call each week to let her know Im coming. After I
have taken the dogs for a walk I go back to Graces house and have a
chat while she feeds the dogs treats.
Grace is an incredible woman who has fought through many
struggles. Willie explained how Grace only has one lung due to
suffering from pneumonia as a child.
She is also asthmatic and her heart is on the wrong side, Willie
explained.
He said this means she often ends up in hospital. We look after
her dog while shes in hospital for however long it takes.
Our dogs are now best friends, Willie said. Willie has helped
Grace out in many other
ways over the years. He has installed smoke alarms and built her
a fence, while Lisa has helped Grace out with cleaning.
Grace said she was incredibly grateful for all the help Willie
has given her.
He is my hero. I dont know where I would be without him.

OUT ABOUT Story timeBy Sharnahea Wilson
Students and teachers strutted into Wadestown School in style on
Friday, dressed as their favourite fi ctional characters to
celebrate the end of Book Week.
Throughout the week the students took part in an abundance of
literary activities including quizzes, guest readings and a book
fair.
Book week makes a real difference, Wades-town Principal Sally
Barrett explained. It sparks childrens enthusiasm for books.
The books for the fair that took place each day from 3pm to 4pm
were provided by the Welling-ton Childrens Bookshop and each day
parents could place orders.
The librarian Derek Piper helped the bookshop choose which
stories they would display in the school hall.
He also had a couple of authors come into the school and talk to
the children about how they got their work published.
There is nothing like meeting a published author, Derek
said.

for residents, nothing quite compares to having someone visit to
see you.
Call for volunteers to visit Wellington elders
Having company, friends, fun and feeling like we have a sense of
purpose is what adds life to life, says Gwen.
And, even though residents of our homes have each others
company, theres still something very special about having your own
visitors. Some of our residents dont get very many visitors,
espe-cially if their families live out-of-town.
Volunteers are needed at Huntleigh Home in Karori, Cashmere Home
and Cashmere Heights Home in Johnsonville, Longview Home in Tawa
and Kilmarnock Heights Home in Berhampore.
Enliven homes are fl exible with the roles vol-unteers can have
and what hours they can manage. If you are interested in enhancing
the
lives of local elders by becoming an Enliven volunteer, call
0508 TO HELP, or visit www.enlivencentral.org.nz.

Lyne Pringle is the coordinator of the Employee Volunteering
programme at Vol-unteer Wellington The role is generously supported
by major funding from the Nikau Foundation.
February to June is the Nikau Corporate Challenge period, when a
myriad of pro-jects take place including: 9 teams from ANZ blitzing
a new trail at the Makara Peak Bike Park and several teams from ACC
undertaking a major renovation of the Mary Potter Hospice Offi ces
in just 4 days.
Lyne says, I am encouraging groups to take a blitz mentality to
the 11th year of the Nikau Corporate Challenge. My mother used to
say Many hands make light work and that is the motto this year.
The response has been tremendous with 25 community groups benefi
ting from the work of 500 corporate volunteers deployed to 58
projects. The challenge period cul-minates in a celebratory evening
at KPMG during volunteer week, on June 22nd.

LAMB SHANKSLAMB SHANKSCinnamon and star anise braised served on
your choice of creamy mashed potato or buttered couscous with
gravy, cardamom spiced prunes, and fi nished off with roasted
almonds.
When you indulge in French food, whats the one thing youre
guaranteed to get - apart from butter and nostalgia? This winter,
Executive Chef Laurent Loudeac recreates a quintessential dish of
French cuisine pot-au-feu or pot on the re, which is a celebrated
French beef stew. The Hippopotamus Restaurant and Cocktail Bar
kitchen serves an elegant rendition which has New Zealand Angus
beef llet pot-au-feu style served with a variety of seasonal
accompaniments, particularly a bone marrow crouton.
Filled with memories of trying to go through the cold Brittany
winter months, France has many regional winter dishes but Pot Au
Feu is the most celebrated one. Pot-au-feu reminds Laurent of long
family get togethers around the table. There is a very social
aspect of eating such a dish as it is something you
pass around along with the condiments, which normally consist of
mustard, gherkins and some fresh Baguette to soak up the avoursome
broth.
Prime Angus beef llet is poached to rare then seared, served
with a duck fat con t potato cylinder, celeriac puree, baby
turnips, baby carrots, broad beans and peas. It is made for meat
lovers as it also comprises of a braised beef brisket, oxtail and a
short rib tortellini and topped with a bone marrow baguette crouton
which melts in the mouth.
The dish is completed at the table with a broth, made from the
concentrated cooking liquid from the braised oxtail then nished off
with monter au beurre. This complex broth is poured at the table by
one of our waiters.
This stew brings nostalgia to the palate and the heart, making
it a perfect dish for a Wellington winter day.
The Shepherds Arms Hotel at 285 Tinakori Road situated in the
heart of Thorndon is one of the oldest pubs in Wellington. Formerly
The Spei-ghts Ale House it has been recently refurbished and
reverted back top its original name founded by Charles Gillespie in

New Executive Chef - Hemi Tahu who has moved up the road from

twist of the gastropub experience.
With winter upon us our dish of the month: Cinnamon and star
anise braised Lambs Shanks served on your choice of creamy mashed
potato or buttered couscous with gravy, car-damom spiced prunes,
and finished
off with roasted almonds. Pair this dish with a glass of Mt

Current fi gures shows that more than 200,000 New Zea-landers
have been diagnosed with diabetes. There are two types of diabetes,
type 1 dia-betes and type 2 diabetes, with type 2 diabetes being
the more common, about 90% of all the diabetics in New Zealand. It
is estimated that 100,000 more people have diabetes but are not
diagnosed and do not know that they are diabetic.
Diabetes is a condition where there is too much glucose (a form
of sugar) in your blood. Insulin, the hormone that your body
normally produces to deal with this sugar is unable to do so. The
resulting high levels of glucose can lead to long term damage to
your body, including heart disease, particularly heart attack and
stroke, kidney failure, blind-ness, nerve damage and dam-age to
your feet. Therefore it is a condition that has a huge impact on
your overall health and wellbeing.
Symptoms can include feel-ing tired, feeling thirsty, going to
the toilet often, getting infections frequently and in-
fections that take a long time to heal, blurred vision, tingling
and numbness in the feet and often feeling hungry. It is pos-sible
to have type 2 diabetes without realising that you are diabetic as
not everyone has obvious symptoms. Also symptoms can go unnoticed
as the disease develops very gradually, it really is the Si-lent
Disease,
People that are at higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes in
New Zealand are those with a family history of diabetes, Maori,
Pacific peoples and South Asian populations. Di-ets with increased
amounts of processed food and drink, sed-entary lifestyles and
increasing rates of overweight and obesity are major contributing
factors. However over 50% of type 2 diabetes is preventable or at
least can be delayed by a healthy diet, weight loss and physical
activity. If you have a family history of type 2 diabetes, are
overweight, have high blood pressure and high cholesterol levels,
then a general medical check-up is recommended. For Europeans
a blood test is recommended at age 40, but it is younger, at age
30 for Maori, Pacifi c Peoples and South Asian populations. Earlier
detection can lead to better control and manage-ment of the
condition and an improved outcome. While type 2 diabetes usually
affects adults over the age of 40 it is occurring more commonly now
at a younger age and can be seen in teenagers and younger
children.
Diabetes cannot be cured, but serious long term problems are
less likely if you manage the condition well, which means better
control of blood glucose to within the normal range. There are
medicines available that your doctor can prescribe to take orally
for type 2 diabetes and in some cases insulin may be needed as
well. However the main focus for managing type 2 diabetes is on a
healthy diet, getting plenty of physical exercise and losing weight
if your are overweight say Self Care pharmacists. A healthy diet is
one with fresh fruit, vegetables and whole grain breads and
cereals; eat-
ing low-fat dairy products; having little animal fat, fried
fatty foods, sweet bakery items and foods high in salt, recom-mend
Self Care pharmacists. They also advise that around 30 minutes a
day of moderate physical activity regularly brisk walking, climbing
the stairs at work is important for weight management and good
diabetes control. The Self Care fact card on Type 2 Diabetes has
more information. Be-cause diabetes is linked with high
cholesterol, high blood pressure, and obesity, leading to
cardiovascular disease, ask us for other useful fact cards such as
Reducing Your Cholesterol, High Blood Pres-sure and Weight and
Health, suggest Self Care pharmacists. Our goal is to assist
diabetics understand how best to man-age their conditions, use
their medicines to the best effect, get good blood glucose control
and enjoy life. Prepared by Pharmacy Self Care, Pharmaceutical
Society of New Zealand, PO Box 11640, Wellington.

Motorists can expect more closures along State Highway 1 next
weekend.
T he h ighway be t we en Ngauranga and Thorndon was closed last
weekend and will close once again on Saturday 28 and Sunday 29 of
November.
The closures will begin at 10pm and the motorway will re-open at
7am on Sunday morning and 5.30am on Mon-day morning. All lanes in
both directions will be closed.
Despite the closure, Wel-lington Highway Manager, Neil
Walker said detours would be in place and everyone would be able
to get where they wanted to go at all times.
However, he said people should allow more time for their
journeys during these times.
Were doing everything we can to minimise disruption, which is
why were doing it in the middle of the night during the
weekend.
He said the last motorway closures took place in August, and
went like clockwork.
State Highway 1 to close
Continued from page 1Twenty years ago Fiona, from
Fiona Haines Dance Academy, put together a show based on the
classic fairy tale Pinocchio, and this years show is set to be
better than ever.
We are doing a rehash of the very fi rst show I put on, but we
are also including To the Circus which we have never done
before.
We have strong men, tight-rope walkers, lion tamers and more,
and it will be a very full and entertaining show for all ages,
Fiona said.
Students aged three to 18 years from both Karori and Brooklyn
Studios are busy preparing for the up-coming production.
Senior students not only get to show off their dance skills but
also have to learn how to act and tell a story with body language
and mime, Fiona said.
I am very lucky to have my mother, Katie Haines, on board as she
was not only a ballet dancer and teacher but was also a drama and
mime tutor so the girls are lucky to have her expertise during
rehearsals, s
