HERE TO HELP

By Laura Kavanagh

A Karori Sprott House resident celebrated a very special milestone last week.

Jean Gilmer turned 100 last month on April 23, and had a special morning tea last week to celebrate.

She told guests she was actually 130 years old, but says she does not feel any different.

Born in 1914, she is the grand-

daughter of former Prime Minister Richard Sneddon.

With a passion for dance, Jean was involved with the Wellington Repertory and the Wellington Musical society, and earned a certifi cate in dance.

She travelled with her mother to America, England, Ireland and Europe, but her only regret was that she never went to Greece.

A family in Churton Park has had a lucky escape, when a large fi re destroyed a corner of their house last week.

The fi re service was called to the house in Burbank Crescent at around 8pm, where a fi re had started from a bedroom and spread to a ceiling void.

Judith Price and her son David had just fi nished having dinner, when Judith noticed smoke coming from the up-stairs bedroom.

“I picked up the phone to call the fi re brigade, but realised it wouldn’t work because the phone is connected to the bedroom.”

She says they ran to the neigh-bours, one of whom which called the fi re service.

“It was dangerous because we

had to rescue our dog Max, and also open the garage to get the cars out, because I was worried about combustion.”

Judith says she lost track of time, in a moment in which she felt dread and panic.

“It was a terrible feeling – I had a sense of hopelessness.”

The cause of the fire was unknown, but reports indicate an electric blanket may have been the cause.

“I remember running upstairs to put the electric blanket on and there were jeans sitting on the end of the bed.

“The electric blanket was only four or fi ve years old, so it’s a good lesson to check these things.”

Four fi re engines attended the fi re, which was extinguished by 9pm.

Judith is extremely apprecia-

“People are so supportive, coming over to help.

“You suddenly realise you have all these compassionate people out there – makes you

feel loved.”Judith wishes to thank eve-

ryone, who came to their aid.They are living with a friend

at the moment, and have some-where confi rmed to stay for the next few months.

In 1937, she went with Mum to see Prince George’s coronation.

During WWII, Jean served in the New Zealand Forces Club in Cairo.

“General Freyberg called for 30 women to work at the club.

“We were known as Tuis.”She says they looked after

the men, and remembers dancing with the troops.

Jean has always been a Wellingtonian, saying she

has never lived anywhere else. “Never thought I would make

it to 100 – I don’t feel any different.”

She received a large chocolate cake for her birthday, as well as cards from the Governor General Jerry Mataparae, the Queen, and the Prime Minister John Key.

Jean lives in an independent villa at Sprott House and has just had her driver licence renewed.

Manager of Sprott House Chris Sanders says Jean has a very agile mind, and a great love of classical music and ballet.

“She is a really special lady.“I admire her positive outlook

on life.”

By Dave Crampton Ohariu MP Peter Dunne may

be safe for another three years, after National chose a virtual unknown to run in Ohariu at this year’s election.

Brett Hudson, who lives in Karori, outside the Ohariu electorate, assisted with Paul Foster-Bell’s Wellington Cen-tral campaign in 2011, is also standing as a National list candidate at place 73.

He has one aim in 2014.“I’ll be focussed on growing

that support for John Key and National in 2014.

“I’ve got to return a John Key-led government,” he says.

“We are very proud of our leader – he’s done an outstand-ing job.”

Like Katrina Shanks before him, Mr Hudson is seeking to

do this by boosting National’s party vote in the electorate to more than 50 percent, adding that the electorate vote is not about deciding who the Prime Minister is.

From this week, Mr Hudson will be knocking on doors in the electorate aiming to make that clear. However, he is non-committal as to whether he wishes to oust Peter Dunne.

“That’s for the people of Ohariu to decide.

“I don’t know Peter – but he’s had the support of the elector-ate for 30 years.

“I have no opinion on Peter Dunne – I have an opinion on returning a John Key-led government.”

Mr Hudson has had 20 years

of experience as an infor-mation and communications technology professional.

His experience drives his interest in using technology to help Kiwi businesses grow.

National’s regional chair Malcolm Plimmer says he was looking forward to working with Mr Hudson.

“Brett brings a good under-standing of Wellington issues and great real world experi-ence to the role.”

Should he be elected, Mr Hudson says he will open an offi ce in the electorate, prob-ably in Johnsonville.

He leaves his job at the end of this month to campaign full time.

New face challenging Ohariu electorate

NEW CANDIDATE: National list candidate Brett Hudson is set to challenge current Ohariu MP Peter Dunne.

By Laura Kavanagh

Local campaigners are cel-ebrating after Health Minister Tony Ryall announced the pro-vision of funding for bilateral cochlear implants last week.

The Government will now fund a second cochlear implant for hearing impaired infants and children.

Cochlear implants are elec-tronic devices that bypass the mechanical aspects of the ear and provide those with pro-found sensori-neural hearing loss with the ability to hear.

They consist of externally worn speech processors and surgically inserted implants

Previously, the Government funded one cochlear implant per child for New Zealand citizens and residents, but they will now fund bilateral coch-lear implants for infants, and children under six years with an existing cochlear implant.

In addition, all children up

to 18 years, will be provided support for their second im-plant – even if they funded it themselves.

2ears2hear campaigner Sym Gardiner from Ngaio is very excited by the news.

“We started this campaign 18 months ago, aiming high, and we didn’t expect to win.

“To actually have the result is amazing – we got there.

“All these children who will be able to hear well, and not struggle their entire lives.”

Sym’s daughter Katya has bilateral cochlear implants, which Sym says have had a major effect on her life.

“As parents who have had to fund their own children’s second cochlear implant, at a cost of up to $50,000 per child, we know fi rst-hand the pressure fi nding this money places on families.

He says the ability to hear is critical for school and develop-ing language, which is why he

stresses the need for bilateral cochlear implants for newborns.

Sym wishes to thank all those, who have supported the cam-paign.

“We want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has sup-ported us or just started talking about the issue.”

The gift of sound

VICTORY: 2ears2hear campaigner Sym Gardiner from Ngaio with his daughter Katya, is extremely happy with securing funding for bilateral cochlear implants.

CorrectionIn the second paragraph of the article

‘Rates to rise’ last week it said “last year’s rates increase was 2.75%, over the Council’s self-imposed target of 2.5 percent”. This is incorrect. The draft plan had been tracking at 2.75 earlier in the process, but the Mayor moved an item be dropped (or de-ferred) and it came in under the 2.5% limit. Independent Herald apologises for the error.

A recently opened store in Johnsonville has been the target of repeated theft since its open-ing.

Co-owners of The Right Buy Spencer Xue and Betty Wong have experienced a number of attempted thefts since they opened in December, but a break in last weekend has been the last straw.

Spencer says they have camera footage of a man entering the store on Sunday morning around 2:30am.

The intruder entered the store, but left without taking anything after triggering the alarm.

The man’s face is not identifi -able, but the camera footage shows a man wearing a beanie, a white jacket and carrying a black bag.

Spencer says he must have broken into the store by wrench-ing open the door.

The damage to the lock would have cost the owners $650 if Spencer had not been able to fi x

it himself.Spencer says they have expe-

rienced a lot of problems with stealing.

“We have a lot of young people coming inside in large groups.

“They will take multiple clothes into the changing room, and then come out with only one garment, or put on pieces of jewellery and try to walk out.”

Spencer says they have in-stalled multiple video cameras in the store to catch the thieves out.

“We catch someone at least once a week.”

Spencer and Betty, who also own a store in Kapiti, are disap-pointed their store has been targeted by thieves.

“Business is hard at the mo-ment, and I have to pay for everything that is stolen.”

The owners are talking to police about the incident on Sunday morning.

“I can guarantee if it is happen-ing to me, it will be happening to other people.”

Thieves target new Johnsonville store

CAUGHT OUT: Repeated attempts at theft have left co-owner of The Right Buy, Spencer Xue, frustrated.

New bus route proposals for the Khandallah area are de-signed to improve a service many commuters fi nd unreli-able and confusing says the Greater Wellington Regional Council.

The Regional Council is cur-rently consulting with the public on its Draft Regional Public Transport Plan.

However, local Khandallah residents are concerned about new routes for Khandallah that will end at Homebush Road and will mean a longer journey for north Khandallah residents.

Greater Wellington Regional Council’s Bus and Ferry Op-erations manager Rhona Hewitt says no fi rm decisions have been made on bus routes and sched-ules, and the current proposal for the Khandallah route is a starting point.

“We have received a signifi -cant amount of feedback from Khandallah bus users saying that the Route 43 and 44 are unreliable and confusing for customers.”

She says Khandallah buses can run up to 25 minutes late during the day.

“Replacing the long and unre-liable loops with a conventional

‘there and back’ route would provide a more reliable and consistent service.”

Rhona says the Regional Council is really pleased that bus users in Khandallah have come forward, and encourage submissions on the proposal.

Consultation began in 2011 with a booklet mailed out to more than 80,000 households in Wellington City seeking feedback on proposed changes to bus routes.

“There have been a mixture of public meetings and Resident or Community Association representative meetings.”

She says unfortunately Khan-

dallah did not have an active resident association they could consult with.

“A real positive with Khandal-lah bus users speaking out now is that we have a contact point for discussion as we move forward.”

Rhonda says the council are hoping to provide a simple, reliable network, with more frequent services during peak hours, to provide off peak ser-vices to communities without any and reduce bus congestion. Submissions close 4pm Fri-day 9 May. The easiest way to make a submission is to go to www.gw.govt.nz/ptplan

Hell Pizza has been forced to take its controversial Gourmet Rabbit Pizza off the menu after selling out in less than three weeks, with Northland, Newlands, and Khandallah stores among the top sellers among Hell’s 64 stores.

The move came after rabbit hunters were unable to keep up with the supply due to weather conditions in Southland.

The three stores were among the top 12 in terms of sales, giving the Wellington-based business its best week of sales in its 18 year history.

More than 700 locals with a taste of smoked wild rabbit bought the pizzas in each of the past three weeks.

Hell general manager Ben Cum-ming says Wellingtonians are known for being adventurous with their food.

Hell is also known for interesting concepts, timing the new pizzas for Easter.

The chain used a billboard with 550 pelts made from waste rabbit skins – a hell of a good reason for farmers, who despise rabbit pests, to buy the pizzas.

“We’ve had a good opportunity

to play on the whole Easter Bunny theme.

“Customers from our 14 Wel-lington stores ate about a third of the total supply of rabbits… the best response of any region in New Zealand,” Mr Cumming says.

“It ultimately reaffi rmed to us that our customers enjoy trying new things.”

Nationwide, 6,562 pizzas were sold.

The Gourmet Rabbit Pizza was the fi rst in Hell’s Wild Food range with others to be promoted later this year.

Rabbit Pizza a success

Organisers of a ground-breaking Maori vegetable garden have celebrated their fi rst successful har-vest.

The garden is an attempt by Victoria University staff and students to recreate the type of garden Maori grew prior to contact with Europeans.

Two types of pre-Euro-pean kumara, taputini and hutihuti, were planted in November and harvested last week.

School of Maori studies research associate Bruce McFadgen says the harvest was a surprising success.

“It’s been rather better than we thought it might be...it’s quite encouraging.”

The taputini seed stock was obtained from the Open Polytechnic in Wai-rarapa.

It would have been pref-erable to plant earlier in the year as the success of the crop depended on the weather, Bruce says.

“It’s very pleasing. Con-sidering they’ve been in for a shorter time they’ve done extremely well.

“If we had the garden in earlier we would have had a better crop…it likes the warmth, it’s a subtropical plant.”

The school hopes to even-tually build a traditional kumara storage pit, he

says.Maori studies adminis-

trator Terese McLeod says the long, cream-coloured kumara taste like “white velvet” and can be baked or boiled like normal ku-mara.

To discover what grows best in Wellington, the garden was not watered or weeded and temperature and soil conditions were carefully monitored, Ter-ese says.

“We’re hoping to put in other things but we haven’t sourced them yet.”

The project has generated a lot of interest, she says.

“When you start doing it other people get inter-ested…it opens a gateway to a conversation.”

It’s normally a place to bury and remember the dead, but more than 280 parents, car-egivers and toddlers livened up the Karori Cemetery last Thursday, taking part in a monthly buggy walk organ-ised by Sport Wellington.

The cemetery, established in 1891, is the oldest and second largest in the country.

Monthly buggy walks have been held in various locations around Wellington every year since 2006.

Before and after each walk Southern Cross donates sausages and Café L’Affare provides coffee.

Karori’s Ruth Loan, who lives down the road from the cemetery, took her one-year-old son Jacob for a stroll.

“It’s a really good oppor-tunity to get out and meet people,” she says.

The walk had a bit of a hill, and both Ruth and her friend Rebecca Jacob, from Khandallah, who had to push her double buggy with 14-month-old twins Micaela and Briar, worked up a bit of a sweat.

Sports Wellington event organiser Tania Atkinson says the Karori Cemetery is a perfect place for a buggy walk.

While the cemetery closed nearly 50 years ago, it is still open to visitors.

“A lot of people don’t know that they can come and walk through here,” she says.

Bronwyn Davies, from Nae-nae, says the buggy walks are a good opportunity to get out and about and see the city.

She has been on a previ-ous one, but has never met so many toddlers and their caregivers in a cemetery.

“I’ve never been here before

Day out in Karori Cemetery

BABIES DAY OUT: Rebecca Jacob (L) from Khan-dallah with twins micaella and briar (14 months) and Ruth Loan from Karori with Jacob (1 year) enjoy the buggy walk through Karori Cemetery.

– why would I go to a cemetery?” she says. Next month’s buggy walk will be less strenu-

ous – it’ll be on fl at ground along the Petone foreshore on the fi rst Thursday of June at 10am, meeting at Hikoikoi Reserve.

Many of the students graduating from Victoria University this month may be wondering what their next step will be, but several of its students are already making waves outside university.

Graduating students Hannah Faesenkloet and Marcelo Hudson have joined up with Joseph Milsom and Dale Galloway to start their own business Cogo Digital.

Supported by Lightning Lab, New Zealand's fi rst digital accel-erator programme to help fl edgling companies prove, build and launch themselves, they have created and developed a management tool that maps knowledge resources.

Called Co-Operly, the system gath-ers information about employees' knowledge and roles, helping to re-duce the impact when staff members leave, and improve effi ciency in how knowledge is distributed through an organisation.

Cogo Digital is one of ten teams part of Lightning Lab.

They came into Lightning Lab with a health and fi tness app, but changed their mind within three days.

“We went out for ice cream and realised it was important we were passionate about what we were do-ing,” Hannah says.

“You want to go to work every day doing something that you care about,” Marcelo adds.

Being self-learners, the team came

up with an idea to help businesses fi nd information quickly.

Hannah says starting a business has its ups and downs, but they are just about to release their fi rst trial of Co-Operly into businesses.

She graduates with a Bachelor of Design Innovation, while Marcelo will graduate with a Bachelor of Music in sonic art.

They are grateful for the opportuni-ties Victoria has given them, and say graduating is an awesome feeling.

“I feel like it’s just hitting me that I am graduating,” Hannah says.

Her advice for others wanting to start up a business is to go for it.

“Just do it, you have nothing to lose.”

In Johnsonville, a locked garage in Ohariu Road was broken into and searched. Four spare wheels of a vehicle, a bicycle and two speakers were stolen. A car parked in Elliott Street was entered after the offenders smashed a window to gain entry. An attempt was made to start the vehicle causing damage to the ignition barrel and steering column. Details of the offenders and their vehicle have been reported to Police. A car parked outside a fl at in Bannister Avenue had both left side tyres slashed. Commercial premises in Broderick Road were the subject of an attempted forced entry. The front door lock was broken which triggered an alarm. At this stage it is believed that the premises were not entered.

In Newlands, a motor home parked in the driveway of a house in Lynd-fi eld Lane was entered via a smashed driver’s window. A GPS unit and

In Khandallah, a car parked in Ma-dras Street had a window smashed and an attempt was made to start it. The ignition casing was damaged. Parts of a sound system were taken.

By Lynn FreemanThey’ve made it through

bitter cold and been cared for by a Mum who’s not in the best condition having already raised one family this season and then started moulting to bring in her own winter coat. But the last two kaka chicks of the season have now been banded, microchipped, weighed and measured and we now just have to wait for them to fl edge.

All the other nest boxes have been emptied. It’s a smelly job cleaning out used boxes that have had up to fi ve chicks and their mothers in there for a couple of months!

There were a few second nests this season, but these two chicks, who are nestled in a nextbox along the Valley View track, will fl edge weeks later than the others. They’ll emerge to wintery rather than summer weather, unlike the rest of the class of 2014. But

kaka are hardy parrots at the best of times, and their inherent curiosity and ingenuity will see these two juveniles through no doubt.

They’ll bring the total number

of fl edged kaka chicks to just over 100. It’s a record year.

The 500th kaka was banded during the season. This year’s newbies and older kaka are exploring all over Wellington, especially at the moment with a tasty selection of autumnal berries to choose from.

You’ll know them by their single blue bands on one leg. One of the volunteers has nicknamed this year's cohort the "Bunby's" because techni-cally their band ID's are B-unb and unb-B. (unb = unbanded).

Soon all the volunteers who’ve been checking the nest boxes twice a week since July, will get together to compare notes. It’s the first year we won’t be able to identify the birds individually and be able to follow their progress, but it’s only because they have bred so successfully and no longer need to be closely monitored.

So do keep an eye out for a Bunby near you…or come and see them at Zealandia.

Kaka chicks all ready

The type of fabric chosen can set the tone of the room. You’ll find that the weave pattern, fibre content and weight of the fabric all play a part in the finished appearance.

If you’re looking for inspiration or just the right colour scheme to bring your decorating ideas to life Guthrie Bowron is Wellington’s complete home decorating store, offering an extensive range of leading brand fabric, wallpaper, paint, curtains and carpet.

World Asthma Day was celebrated last Tues-day, an annual event organised by the Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) to improve asthma awareness and care around the world.

The theme for World Asthma Day 2014 was "You Can Control Your Asthma."

Asthma is a condition that many people suffer from, but Wellington has a great network of health providers supporting asthma sufferers, including Asthma Wellington.

Three-year old James Parker from Ngaio has lived with asthma most of his young life and has benefi ted greatly from Asthma Wellington’s support.

His mother Angela Foster has asthma as well, but not as severe as James, who has spent every winter in hospital because of asthma or bronchiolitis.

A particularly nasty season last year prompted James’ parents to seek further help on dealing with his asthma.

“We knew something was wrong,” Angela says.“He was always stationary and didn’t want

to move.

“We went to Lindale farm and he didn’t even want to go pat the animals.”

After a referral from Kenepuru hospital to Wellington central, they found themselves a paediatrician.

Angela says they were given an Asthma Management Plan, and received a home visit from Asthma Wellington.

“They were amazing and very helpful.“They provided us with information and

resources, showing us how the lungs work for someone with asthma.”

She says the free service helped her to identify the triggers for James’ asthma, which include change in temperature, environmental factors, and colds and fl u.

Since then, Angela says James has been a different child.

“He is active and energetic.“We are looking forward to not visiting the

hospital this winter.”Asthma Wellington, based in Johnsonville,

hold free community education sessions the last Thursday of each month till 6pm.

They are casual information sessions - no appointment necessary.

World Asthma Day

TAKING CONTROL: James Parker from Ngaio is well versed in using his inhaler and recognising signs of breathing di� culty.

From a strong fi eld of over 3,500 marathon runners came an out-standing performance from local runner, Ka-tie Kemp.

Fol lowing a long hiatus away from half marathons, mountain running and running sections in events such as Speight’s Coast to Coast, Crazyman and various triathlon events, Katie has re-emerged to claim third place at the Rotorua Marathon last Satur-day, May 3.

Not only did Katie claim this placing, but she also took home fi rst place in her age group and third place in the New Zealand Mara-thon Championships in a time of 2 hours 49 minutes.

Katie’s secret to her success included a strong contingent of like-minded family and friends who came to support her from Dunedin, Auckland and Australia. Added to this mix was sup-port from her running club, Wellington Scot-tish Harriers, and her

running coach, Matt Dravitzki.

Katie was “absolutely pleased” with her result and her three children, who were there to watch and motivate their mum, thought her result was “da bomb!”.

For those contem-plating getting off the couch and getting into running, Katie suggests choosing a goal, build-ing your fitness and supporting your body every day to achieve your goals.

“It’s about will power and drive, as well as guts and determina-tion”

Katie endured tendo-nitis earlier in the year, but with the support of her physiotherapist and daily stretches she recovered.

As for the next event, Katie is undecided, as her children remain her top priority. In the meantime, she is having a well-deserved month off; although this will not preclude Katie from swimming or putting on her shoes for a run when it suits her-as Katie loves to run.

Leading the Pack

TRUSTY FOOT-WEAR: taking time to rest after her magni� cant marathon e� ort.

Awards galore - Katie's three medals and her trophy for being the � rst woman home in the 35-39 year age group.

Come along on Friday, May 9 at 7pm for a � oral art dem-onstration at the Johnson-ville Library. Members of the Johnsonville Floral Art Club will be here to show you

how to make a posy bowl, create a beautiful handheld bouquet, and design a table decoration. So come along and have some fun while being creative.

If you are looking for some-thing to do this Saturday, look no further than Churton Park’s Market Day.

Many of the retailers in the Churton Park Village will be doing something special for the day, and it will be a perfect opportunity to get something special for Mother’s Day.

Some retailers will have something outside, weather permitting, or other special activities organised for the day.

Owner of store Loyal Mela-nie Brookes says there will be a jazz combo playing for entertainment and a massage therapist to deal to those sore neck and shoulders.

Churton Park New World has been having market days since the new owners, Butch and Jan took over. At one of the retailer meetings, it was brought up that maybe all the retailers in the village could be involved in the Market Day.

The village retailers hope to make it a regular event and have a market day maybe four times a year to mark a special calendar event.

Melanie says Mother's Day will be a great occasion to celebrate.

The hours for the market are 9am - 3pm on Saturday.

A good way to treat your mother this Mother’s Day is to visit the Churton Park Community Centre for its craft market.

A number of local jewellers, artists and designers will be showcasing their pieces at the community centre from 11:30am to 2pm.

These include RO Design Jewellery, LiniNZ, Isodora D, The Craft Yard, Splodge, Lois Parker Creations, Antoi-nettes designer clothing, Deer Wee Things, Jamlang Orchids, Catherine Nicolson, Felted and Stitched, Lavender Boutique and Fifth Avenue.

Local Churton Park designer Antoinette Benfell operates out of a small studio in her own home.

She has been interested in designing clothes since she was a child, with her father and mother involved with clothing design.

“It started with Barbie Dolls.“My Mum taught me how to sew, so it is

something I grew up with.”Going back to work after having her own

children, Antoinette has been designing her own pieces.

She describes her garments as quite clas-

sical garments with a little twist. “These are timeless pieces you can wear

year in and year out.”She has something for women of all

ages.“There is nothing like a little lace t-shirt

and jeans to make you feel a million dollars.”

Antoinette says she absolutely loves being able to design clothing.

“I live it and breathe it – there is always something going on in my head.

“It keeps me up at night in a good way.”The last craft market held at the com-

munity centre was late last year, but this time round there will be different store holders and pieces for the public to peruse.

Organisers are hoping to do more craft markets in the future.

A special lunch for older people within the Newlands Community has been running at the Newlands Community Centre.

Every Friday, volunteers give up their time to serve up food created and donated by people around the community.

Lunch is served at 12 noon and food includes a wholesome soup and baked goods or quiche and chips once a month for only $3.

Members from the local St Michael’s Anglican Church and Newlands Baptist Churches cook and bake food for the lunches on a rostered basis.

Organiser Michele Rowe says the lunch is a great way for seniors to meet up with people in the area.

“It is a good way to catch up with each other”.

She says the service has been going for over 30 years, with the lunch served at the

former Community House on Bachelor Street, before the Community Centre was built.

The lunch is not the only service provided for seniors at the centre.

A Sit and Keep Fit class is also run for seniors to keep fi t without even having to leave their chair.

Michele has been involved for about nine years, starting off on the baking roster.

She enjoys it and says for some of the seniors, these lunches are really important, particularly if they have lost a partner.

“It is about their inner health, and friend-ship is important whatever age you are.”

Michele is a busy woman, not only organising these activities, but liaising with the senior citizens, doing home visits and taking people to hospital.

She says they are always looking for more volunteers, so if you have some spare time, why not get in contact with Newlands Community Centre.

Millwood Gallery in Thorndon is hosting author Rosie Belton this Thursday night.

Rosie will talk about her new memoir Wild Blackber-ries, which features Rosie’s own delectable recipes and remembrances combined with a social history of food in New Zealand.

Hailing from Christch-urch, Rosie Belton was a theatre director and pro-ducer until 2004.

She came to be a writer later in life and found it very therapeutic.

“I kept diaries and I re-alised the one connecting feature was food.

“I’ve always loved cook-ing and sharing food.”

She says the recipes have been a big part of her life, but Wild Blackberries can be read as both a recipe book or memoir.

In Wild Blackberries, Ro-sie Belton has written not

only her own story but also a social history of food in New Zealand.

Decade by decade, era by era, she looks at what we ate, and how that food defi ned us.

“Food has coloured my life.

“I have lived life with

passion and food is my passion.”

Rosie writes the prepara-tion of food, the smells and tastes and textures, have ac-companied her throughout the journeys of her life.

“In fact looking back the food memories have become the marker posts - defining boundaries in the years, demarcating the challenges and the changes

“In times of joy, food has enhanced the celebration, in times of sadness, it has coloured and comforted.

“And in times of anxiety and emptiness its prepara-tion has given rhythm and meaning to the day, and its offering to others continues to bring a sense of accom-plishment and fulfi lment.

“When all else fails - cook”

Rosie will be talking about her book on May 8 from 6pm - 7:30pm at Millwood Gallery, 291B Tinakori Road, Thorndon.

The Wellington Cathedral of St Paul will be on show with brass, percussion, choir and organ on Friday, May 16 with a concert commemorat-ing the 50th anniversary of its opening in 1964.

The concert features Bless This House, a specifi cally commissioned work by Christopher Marshall that will receive its world pre-miere.

It also incorporates biblical texts with poetry by James K. Baxter.

Other works include mu-sic composed for the 1964 Service of Dedication by David Farquhar and Ronald Tremain, as well as several other pieces composed for the Cathedral over the last fi fty years.

Bless This House: Thanks-giving concert is just one of the events happening at the

Wellington Cathedral of St Paul to commemorate its 50th anniversary.

Director Michael Stew-art says the festival starts from May 11 with a week of events including lunch-time speakers, and choral evensongs sung by Sacred Heart Cathedral Choir, The Cathedral Choristers, The Tudor Consort and the Choir of Wellington Cathedral.

A Festal Choral Eucharist will be held Sunday morn-ing starting at Old St Paul’s on Mulgrave St, which used to be the old cathedral, with a procession to the current cathedral.

“Preparation has been a little frantic, but it is all coming together now,” Mi-chael says.

“We wil l have events throughout the year, so this is just to kick things off.”

He says the choir is very exciting about the Thanks-

giving concert.“It is a piece everyone will

enjoy – really dramatic and thrilling.”

He says the concert will be a great opportunity for those who have never been inside the cathedral to come in.

“It’s a wonderful space, and will be a great way to show off a Wellington landmark.”

Concert celebrating St Paul’s 50th

Opera enthusiasts are in for a treat this Friday.Popular Opera sensation Geoff Sewell is supporting the Karori Event Centre with a one-night exclusive concert in Wellington this Friday.The internationally successful tenor and multi-platinum selling recording artist will be performing at the St James Theatre starting at 8pm.Geoff is waiving his fee, with the proceeds of this event going to lo-cal Wellington project ‘The Karori Event Centre’. “Having grown up in Wellington, I am excited to be able to contribute to the building of what promises to be a quality performing arts and events venue in Karori for the

Wellington community to enjoy,” says Geoff . Karori Community Hall Trust Chairperson Wallace Simmers says it is very fortunate to be able to raise awareness and funds for the Karori Event Centre build by having Geoff ’s support.“We need to raise the majority of funds in the coming 18 months to make the Karori Event Centre a reality for the community.”The Karori Event Centre will be the only multi-purpose venue catering for art performances, events, and other activities in Ka-rori, complementing the facilities the Recreation and Community Centres provide. The Karori Event Centre will re-place the St John’s Hall, which is

the last dedicated public commu-nity hall and is imminently closing. London based Geoff Sewell has confi rmed one show in Wellington only, being supported by New Zealand Soprano Daniela-Rosa Cepeda, and promises a charis-matic performance, blending the classical skills of opera with the im-mediate appeal of popular music. As one of the creators and found-ing members of the world’s fi rst opera band ‘Amici Forever’ Geoff has performed for royals, sports fans and he has enabled enjoy-ment of opera across generations. A limited number of $50 tickets go on sale on Wednesday through wwww.ticketek.co.nz, 0800 TICK-ETEK.

It’s been 46 years, but the members of the Johnsonville 1968 Seven-aside team will be reuniting once more.

This Saturday, the players, including coaches and manager, will reunite at Johnsonville Rugby’s Old Timers Day.

Back in 1968, senior third graders from Johnsonville beat the senior A teams University, Marist and Poneke in their last three games to win the American Ambassadors ‘John F. Hen-ning’ Trophy.

Despite being a senior team tour, they decided to enter and beat four premier teams, and won the fi nal at Athletic Park.

Ex-player Gary Maude says there were about three spectators all day, be-cause no one expected them to win it.

“It was tied up at full time and then went into extra time.

“We won in the last minute.”Gary says it was an amazing feeling.“We were total underdogs – no one at

the Club believed us when we got back to the rugby club.”

Gary is excited about the Old Timers Day saying it is going to be awesome.

“It was 46 years ago.“We have people coming from Aus-

tralia, the North and South Island, from everywhere for this special reunion.”

GLORY YEARS: The original 1968 Seven-aside team will be reuniting this Saturday for the Johnsonville Old Timers Day. Standing; Derecourt W., Maude G., Johnson B.N., Herring B.R., Flynn T.J.

A club in Karori is looking for new members, who like to be little creative.

The Karori Floral Design Club is hoping to build its membership up.

The group meet once a month to learn how to create fl oral art, as well as share their own creations.

The Karori Floral Design Club has been going for almost 20 years teach-ing the local community to be creative with fl owers and plants.

They meet in Karori at St Ninians Church every second Wednesday of the month.

Karori Floral Design Club secretary Cheryl says it is a friendly social group.

They organise experienced dem-onstrators to teach members how to create different designs.

They also have demonstrator work-shops, where members have a chance to learn how to make a design, and have a chance to make it themselves.

She says members decide what they would like to learn.

Depending on what is in fashion, the group make de-signs such as table posies and church fl owers.

Cheryl says no experience is necessary because that is what you are there for.

“I’ve met a lot of friends and we have a lot of laughs.

“You get to meet a lot of new people, and can create some really nice pieces.”

She says it is amazing what some people come up with.

“It is not competitive, but you have the opportunity to be so.”

They have a fundraiser this Thursday outside the Karori mall from 9am, where they will sell some of their creations.

They will be selling Mother’s Day Floral Cupcakes - (non eating cup cakes) made with freshly picked fl ow-ers, as well as breakfast trays.

If you are interested in joining the club, why not visit the stall and have a chat to some of the members.

Pictured: Jamie McNee - PHOTO CREDIT: Bruce Jenkins

By Dan Whitfi eld

Wellington driver Jamie McNee has taken out top spot in the inaugural Toyota Finance 86 Championship to win the series overall.

McNee was dubbed a driver to watch out for right from day one, coming to the new one-make series with a racing resume that even includes the Toyota Racing Series – where he fi nished third in the 2011 championship.

The weekend’s sixth and fi nal round was held at Hampton Downs Motorsport Park and McNee says the results were good and once again he raced well, with an overall day of racing.

Race one saw McNee fi nished his 10 laps in a time of 12 minutes and 32 seconds; setting him in fi rst place.

In the second race, the young driver showed the other drivers he has what it takes, but fell short of fi rst place; fi nishing second behind West City Motorsport driver Ash Blewett.

The third race of the day saw McNee drop back and fail to record any lap times.

McNee clawed back in race four to fi nish behind Blewett once again, fi nishing his 15 laps in 18 minutes and 52 seconds.

McNee races for the Tony Richards Toyota team and was ranked fi rst in the competition with 125 points heading into last weekend’s round.

The young driver managed to pull off another round win, resulting as the overall championship title holder.

The New Zealand motorsport champi-onship kicked off over the weekend of January 9-12 at Invercargill’s Teretonga Park Raceway.

So far the competitors have experience some of New Zealand’s best racing circuits adding to and improving their racing skills.

The recent race for the Wellington driver marked the end of the 86 season, and team owner Steve Richards says McNee is inter-ested in entering a V8 series.

Championship win goes to McNee

SPORT

Local swimmers stumped up personal bests along with medals at the National Age Grade swimming champs over the weekend.

The annual championships, held at the Wellington Re-gional Aquatic Centre, are extremely competitive, with just split seconds separating some swimmers.

Top competitors from Tahiti, New Caledonia and Noumea also competed.

The top swimmer from the Karori Swimming Club was Devlin Forsythe, 16, who collected a gold medal in the 1500m freestyle, dropping a second off his personal best time with 16:25.14 , and a bronze in the 400m freestyle.

“I knew [the 1500m] would be tough.”

Fellow clubmate Sarah O’Connor, 15, picked up a couple of silvers in the 100m and 200m backstroke, and a bronze as a member of a Wellington 200m relay team.

Many of the Karori swim-mers excel in longer distances, with Jacob Farr, 15, collecting a silver in the 1500m, and

Aliesha Mitchell, 13, getting bronze in the 800m freestyle.

Karori’s head coach Steve Francis says he was pleased with his swimmers, more of whom are placing higher compared with previous years.

“A lot of our swimmers are going faster – that’s what we want.

“You can do sprints off distances, but you can’t do distance off sprints,” he says.

Johnsonville swimmer Joel Crampton, one of the smallest and youngest swimmers in the competition at age 12, collected a silver medal and a Wellington record in the 12/13 age 200m butterfly, clocking 2:27.01.

He was the sole 12- year- old male to medal in the competi-tion, and one of just two to break Wellington records.

His coach, Tawa Swimming Club’s Jason McPhee, says just qualifying at a young age is an achievement, let alone medalling.

“Not too many 12-year-olds get to make the qualifying times. He’s got a medal – no one can take that away from him.”

LIKE A DUCK TO WATER: Karori swimmer Devlin Forsythe was a force to be reckoned with in the pool.

Local swimmers leading the pack

By Dan Whitfi eld

The outcome of Saturday’s game between Johnsonville and Old Boys University (OBU) was a bit of a disappointment, with the score set at 25-6 (to OBU) when the whistle blew at full time.

This week’s round, despite being on home soil, was the fi rst game Johnsonville had not been awarded a bonus point and it was clear from the beginning that OBU had prepared well.

OBU try scorers were Mathew O'Connor, Ian Kennedy, Jona-than Fuimaono; with Greg Mullany kicking two penalties and two conversions.

Johnsonville’s six points were kicked by Hiro Nakata.

Unfortunately for Johnson-ville, its opposition was always going to have the stronger upper hand however, the home side did well to spoil a number of lineouts.

Scrums throughout the game were dominant and powerful from the OBU side, leaving the Johnonsville side struggling in places.

In typical style, Johnsonville did not let up; putting huge defence and excellent plays, despite things not going its way in terms of points on the board.

The half time score was 13-3. A yellow card was also given

to Con Williams from the OBU side.

Johnsonville will move on to the next round in good form, coming up against Marist St Pats at Helston Park. Kick-off is at 3pm.

The rugby club’s senior sec-onds won 15-13 against Stokes Valley, in a game that is said to have been a tight tussle between two teams desperately needing a win.

The win will hopefully give the team some confidence ahead of remaining games this season.

A narrow loss was recorded by the Woodridge Colts coming up short against OBU over the

weekend.The final score was 30-31

to OBU, and despite a young team compared to last year, the Colts side is starting to gel and just need to believe in the game plan.

OBU scored f i r s t but Woodridge replied with two well taken tries and were ahead 17-15 at the break.

Lead changed continuously throughout the second half but it was OBU who took the win with a late penalty.

The club’s Cripples side lost 41-3 to the Poneke Rats, and the Presidents took on Paremata–Plimmerton, losing 5-10.

Johnsonville down but not out

By Dan Whitfi eld

It was a competitive matchup between the Johnsonville and Avalon under 85kg teams in the fi rst game of the season on Saturday.

Playing in Lower Hutt, both teams played well and fought hard for points however, Ava-lon’s discipline proved some-thing Johnsonville lacked.

A penalty early in the first half gave Avalon a lead of 3-nil. This was followed by another as a result of mistakes by the Johnsonville side, taking the score to 6-nil.

Avalon then scored another penalty which took its lead once again three points higher before Johnsonville half-back Corey

Field kicked the only points for the Johnsonville side – this took the score to 9-3 just before half time.

Despite coming up short dur-ing pre-season matches and starting the season with new players, Johnsonville has a drive to succeed this year and is set to be a strong side throughout the rest of the season.

Round two will see Johnson-ville come up against Western Suburbs on Saturday. Kick-off at Newlands Stadium will be at 3pm.

This weekend all teams will be looking for wins in support of the Johnsonville Rugby Club’s old timer’s day.

The Johnsonville side is spon-sored by Superloans.
