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 MP Peter Dunne.

A Sri Lankan food fair will be held at the Johnsonville Community Centre on Saturday November 7 from 10am to 2pm. The local Sri Lankan dance academy is hosting the food fair in order to fundraise towards the cost of costumes for their dancers. On the day attendees can enjoy the taste of Sri Lankan rice and curry, string hoppers, kotthu, thosai, Sri Lankan savouries, sweets and drinks. Go along on the day to support the dance academy and enjoy some authentic Sri Lankan cuisine.

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.

Red ribbon cutting declares playground open

The playground was established for children of all ages and abilities, with different heights and obstacles available.

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

part of an Eden home. As residents we are very

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.

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.

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.

By Jacob Beleski Massey Journalism student

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.

Johnsonville housing units to be demolished

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

The small ginger kittens were given over to the SPCA Wellington who appealed to the public to help identify the person who dumped them.

Anyone who has any information can call the SPCA on 0800 INSPECTOR.

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.

Open Night 9 June - 6:00pm School in Action Day 23 June - 9:15am

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.

Enlivens homes are different.Enlivens homes embrace an elder-directed model of care called the Eden Alternative. That means we take every opportunity to ensure our elders have companionship, fun and meaningful activity in their lives.

After all, some things make for a healthier, happier life, no matter your age or ability.

Enlivens homes include: Cashmere Home, Johnsonville Cashmere Heights Home, Johnsonville Huntleigh Home and Retirement Apartments, Karori Kilmarnock Heights Home, Berhampore Longview Home, Tawa Woburn Home and Retirement Apartments, Lower Hutt

Nikau Corporate Challenge

Wellingtonians are being encouraged to make time for the elders of their neighbourhood.

Enliven, part of the not-for-profi t organisation Presbyterian Support Central, is looking for vol-unteers to spend time with residents and help out with activities and events at their homes across Wellington.

Recreation offi cer Gwen Esler, of Huntleigh Home in Karori, explains that Enlivens phil-osophy of care has a focus on alleviating loneli-ness, helplessness and boredom for elders.

She says while Enliven homes provide great activity programmes 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.

Visit us online atwww.independentherald.co.nz

Huntleigh Home resident Chris Whitta runs the homes Trading Post shop with the help of volunteer Aurore LeGoff.

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 1870.

New Executive Chef - Hemi Tahu who has moved up the road from Charlie Bill brining his culinary expertise to provide his own twist of the gastropub experience.

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.

The electronic Shared Care Record allows authorised health professionals such as After Hours Medical Centres and Hospital Emergency Department doctors involved in your care within the Wellington and Hutt Valley region to access a summary of information held by your GP.

Information like your test results, medical conditions, allergies and prescribed medications will be available on the Shared Care Record even if your practice is closed. This will mean faster, safer treatment for you.

Most general practices are sharing health information this way in the Wellington, Porirua, Hutt Valley and Kapiti Coast areas and from June 2016, it will also be available for patients of Khandallah Medical Centre and Tawa Medical Centre. To find out if your practice is involved in the project or for more information, visit www.scr.org.nz

You have the choice to fully opt-out of the Shared Care Record at any time or to ask your GP to withhold some of your information.

Please be aware that if you choose to withhold your information that in an emergency or After Hours situation the health professionals caring for you would not immediately have valuable information available to them. This could mean additional tests are needed and may delay appropriate treatment.

You can choose to opt-out at any time by calling 0800 727 664, telling your GP, or sending a letter to the freepost address below:

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
