Gold award for pies

By Glenise Dreaver

Michael Gray, master baker and co-owner of Johnsonville’s iconic Nada bakery, was on Tuesday night awarded gold at the 23rd Bakels NZ Supreme Pie Awards for his steak and cheese pie.

(There was also a bronze for their pie with the slow-cooked pork belly in apple and pear cider with fennel, if that is more to your taste.)

Michael and his mother Judith take pride in their long-established business set up by Peter, Judith’s husband and Michael’s father, in Haitaitai in 1975.

Johnsonville bakery pies nation’s best Continued from page 1.

It was Peter who first travelled overseas, bringing back a strong European influence.

And the name.

“It was a European bakery, gone now. But he liked the name. Short and snappy,” says Judith.

The business shifted to Johnsonville in 1981.

That was, says Michael, to focus on family and to rationalise operations in a challenging environment, with changes in areas like technology requiring a new approach.

It worked and the business has flourished, winning many awards over the years, not least twice being recognised as New Zealand’s champion bakery.

Thirty-five-year -old Michael, now a judge and a senior player in the New Zealand bakery scene himself, says he was always going to be a baker and from the time he was two, he was standing on a bucket at the bench “helping” Peter.

His own two-year-old son Daniel, “going on three”, already stands alongside him

doing “little bits and pieces.”

(His six-month-old brother is still a bit young.)

But Daniel does biscuits.

“And he’s a real connoisseur of sausage rolls. You have to get it in the blood.”

Michael started working parttime when he was fourteen and still at Scots College, though he knew he needed to do formal baking training alongside business qualifications after he left.

The produce comes in from their premises in Tawa, where they opened a café at the front of the bakery some eight years ago.

“We’ve got a van comes up from Tawa three times a day with produce fresh out of the oven,” he says proudly.

As well as the evident pride in what their team does, the word “passion” keeps coming up.

“We’re passionate about what we do. We use good wholesome ingredients and our work is done with care and pride,” Michael says firmly.

Judith and he have both worked full-time in the business since Peter passed away fourteen years ago.

Other family members also help from time to time. “We are very much family-run,” says Michael.

Newlands residents positive on park upgrade

By Glenise Dreaver

Jacqueline Murray, WCC assets and project manager for parks, sports and recreation, and David Halliday, project manager open spaces, were at the Newlands Community Centre on Sunday afternoon to explain the plans for upgrading Newlands Park.

Some 50 Newlands residents were reported as attending Wellington City Council’s open session on Sunday afternoon, the subject a $3.6m planned upgrade for Newlands Park.

Jacqueline Murray, assets and project manager for parks, sports and recreation, said there had been a really positive reaction to the upgrade, the concept plans having first been mooted in 2008. Concept designs and a site plan were then developed in 2010 after public consultation.

The council had checked to see if the appetite for that development still existed said Jacqueline.

It did, and it has been approved, in the council’s 2018-2028 longterm plan, with residents able to offer feedback and suggestions on updating it, until August 12.

“People are excited about it,” says Jacqueline, adding that in addition to those attending, 70 feedback submissions had been provided online.

The revamped park would, she said, be a central place in Newlands, “a great place for kids to play, for people to keep fit, and access the outdoors”.

The upgrade plans include a new area adjacent to the skate park with play equipment focused on toddlers up to primary age children, a new all-weather casual recreation area, a non-bookable facility with all-weather surface for ball sports and other activities, and a new half-court basketball facility.

Plans also include upgrading the skate park, installing a picnic and barbecue area , new and public toilets close to the play space.

Planning to do good

By Glenise Dreaver

Natalie Harper of West Park School in Johnsonville had An Idea just before the holidays, and spent her time in Fiji planning what she was going to do about it.

She knew the Wellington City Mission’s annual winter appeal was coming up and decided to do something to help those less fortunate than herself.

Natalie had some friends who enthusiastically came aboard and by Friday last week, they were busily sorting through over 700 items of food and toiletries that had been donated at the school.

Year six teacher Barry Clarke is very impressed indeed with the results of Natalie’s campaign.

“She came up with a detailed plan. She even sent letters to staff,” he said.

Natalie also sold the idea to the other children and got her friends to help her set up a display for a photo in the paper.

“She just completely owned it.

“It’s one of the school values to show initiative. I tell them ‘Don’t ask. Just do it’. (If its’s good!)

“Natalie’s really proved the value of that,” he says.

inbrief news Ambulance gifted to zoo A retired frontline ambulance has been gifted to Wellington Zoo by Wellington Free Ambulance.

A zoo spokesperson says the seven-yearold vehicle will be fitted out to enable them to quickly and safely move animals between their habitats and The Nest Te Kōhanga, the zoo’s animal hospital and centre for native wildlife veterinary care.

It will also be used to transfer them off-site if required.

Wellington Free Ambulance vehicles have such high usage and endure such demanding terrain that they are retired after two to three years to ensure their fleet is fit for purpose.

Normally they are then moved to Patient Transfer Services or Event Medical Services before being released from service.

Indigenous disaster strategies A free lecture will be held at the National Library on Tuesday August 20 at 6pm, exploring the success of indigenous disaster management approaches stemming from cultural values.

Associate Professor Christine Kenney will explain indigenous approaches, through both local and global cases, to understand how the environmental, economic and psychosocial effects of natural disasters can be successfully managed.

Djembe the lioness is gone Djembe, one of Wellington Zoo’s 17-yearold Lionesses was euthanised on Tuesday after her health deteriorated due to age.

Zoo teams had monitored Djembe’s health closely over the last month, as she had become disinterested in her food and increasingly lethargic.

Results from a health check were inconclusive.

However, in the last week, Djembe’s health had continued to decline.

“Her quality of life was compromised,” said a zoo spokesperson, adding that Djembe will be greatly missed by her carers and Zoo staff.

“She has been an amazing ambassador for Wellington Zoo and her species by lifting the profile of lions and their decline in the wild.”

Her sisters, Djane and Zahra, remain at the zoo.

Ngaio prepares for disaster

By Brian Sheppard

A major disaster can strike a community anywhere and the initial response often has to come from the affected people.

The Wellington Region Emergency Management Office (WREMO) encourages us to plan for these challenges and so is holding introductory workshops with residents’ associations in the northern suburbs.

On July 24, Chris Moore and Rebecca Jackson from WREMO introduced representatives of the Ngaio Crofton Downs Residents’ Association to some of the challenges they could face, and began a conversation to identify vulnerabilities and opportunities in their community.

To illustrate the extent to which a community might have to fend for itself after a major disaster, Rebecca Jackson showed six or seven urban areas on particularly high ground in the Wellington region that might be left as islands in a major earthquake and tsunami.

She explained that, from the experience of disasters elsewhere, those islands could

remain isolated for up to several months We may want to be prepared but how do we start?

Through these workshops, WREMO is working with communities to help them recognise their vulnerabilities, strengths and resources that could be

important in a disaster. This is only the start of the conversations.

Chris says he hopes that these short workshops will encourage communities, through their residents’ associations, to engage in more detailed workshops that will lead to their resilience

and preparedness to help each other if or when the unthinkable disaster occurs. WREMO is hosting a number of further community workshops around the Wellington Region. To find out more, head to www.GetPrepared. nz/calendar

Visits cement steps to understanding, peace

By Lauren Simpson

Reverend Ryha n P rasad from Khandallah Presbyterian Church is to join the first 1000 Abrahamic Circle, a global initiative seeking greater understanding and peace between Christianity, Islam and Judaism.

He will join Rabbi Eliot Baskin from Colorado, USA a nd Ust ad Oji Fa h r u roji f rom Ja ka r ta, I ndonesia.

Each is spending a week in the other’s communities from July 31 to August 23, starting in Colorado and finishing in

Jakarta.

Rev. Ryhan says the inspiration is to shed light on the religions’ foundations of peace, love, hope and joy.

“I think it would be great for people to understand the mainstream voices of these three faiths are positive things for the world,” says Rev. Ryhan.

“We want to encourage people to separate the radical from the mainstream.”

Rabbi Eliot and Ustad Oji will join Rev. Ryhan in Wellington for the second leg of the trip to stay with the Christian Community and visit the Jewish and

Muslim communities.

“If I go spend a week in a Jewish community then I’ll start figuring out things that resonate with me from a Christian standpoint and vice versa when an Imam and Rabbi come here.

“Given what happened in Christchurch there are more grounds for understanding what is it that our Muslim brothers and sisters actually believe, so for me that is really important.

“We a re going down to Ch r istchurch to visit the Mosque and the Muslim community because that is quite

important, particularly with Oji coming from Indonesia,” says Rev. Ryhan.

There will be a communion service at Khandallah Presbyterian Church at 10am on Sunday August 11 and an interfaith panel at St John’s in the CBD at 7pm on Monday 12 August. Everyone is invited to attend.

However, there will still be time to do typical Wellington activities like visiting Te Papa.

“We are going to take them to Weta Workshop. I think the Rabbi is a bit of a Lord of the Rings fan,” says Rev Ryhan.

Greg O’Connor

Wilton student a WOW finalist

MP for Ōhāriu

By Glenise Dreaver

Greg.OConnor@parliament.govt.nz Facebook.com/GregOhariu Twitter.com/GregOhariu

Student designer Anna Baines, who hails from Wilton, has been selected as a finalist in the World of WearableArts (WOW) section “Transformation”.

That’s about as much as she can tell us – the name and details of the single garment designers are allowed to submit will only be revealed on the first night.

She does tell us though that she digitally printed and designed all the fabric herself.

Anna is one of 115 finalists in the show and only 46 are New Zealanders.

On top of that, she is the only Massey design student to make the cut. “It’s pretty special,” the fourth year honours student admits, saying it’s only once every so often that a student entry is selected.

There was a two-stage process for her as a new WOW entrant.

In early May Anna submitted photos and a video for assessment, showing her completed garment.

After a short wait of just three days, she heard she was in the next stage and had a month to finalise her garment and send it to Nelson.

Last year was special too. Anna was awarded a six-month scholarship in Milan, Italy and took the opportunity to travel to 14 different European countries, absorbing the intricacies of design that were all about her, especially of the buildings.

As a dancer, Anna has a particular interest in performance wear,

Authorised by Greg O’Connor, Parliament Buildings, Wellington

though a stint with Rembrandt Suits last year also developed her interest in tailoring. “I love it. It’s very structural.”

For now, as she waits for the WOW show, held between September 26-October 14, when her work will be shown to 60,000 people, she’s working on her Runway Collection.

Greg O’Connor MP for Ōhāriu

That’s the 13 garments created for her final submission for her Massey degree.

Then, says Anna, there will be “so many pathways” to explore.

To stay here or go overseas?

With her overseas contacts, she can see herself tempted to go, but it all depends she says, on what is here for her.

kids and grandkids who are being more and more exposed to them both. Customs and police are doing great work seizing record amounts, but methamphetamine especially has just become cheaper and more available despite this good work.

In the US, where well publicised ‘wars on drugs’ by presidents from Ronald Reagan and now Donald Trump have been absolute failures, and ended up with massive prison populations, we see evidence of the need to be prepared to look for innovative ways to make our communities safer.

Good law enforcement remains an essential component, but that should not stop us from looking at other ways to control and reduce crime.

Be wary of the politician whose only solution is to describe any attempt to look at better ways to do things as being ‘soft on crime’.

Sadly that ‘same old same old’ will just mean more taxes being required to build more prisons.

I try to stay above the petty opposition politics, understanding that their job is to use fair means and foul to try to get a much media time as possible to attack the government.

However Simon Bridges’ attacks on our PM for taking the required four days sea travel time necessary to visit Tokelau, accusing her of ignoring NZers, is just a little too bad mannered for me to ignore. Especially as we in the Ōhāriu electorate, having recently hosted the PM twice in one week, know just how available she is to New Zealanders. I can tolerate much but sheer bad mannered, inaccurate, personal attacks do annoy me.

Additionally, while again accepting that the opposition’s role is to oppose, I am a little disappointed that our attempts to deal with the burgeoning prison population and increase in drug crime which feeds and is fed by gangs, are met by the silly refrain of ‘soft on crime, soft on drugs’. Having spent 40 years as a police officer, I have to admit that while myself and my colleagues did and do excellent work, catching many criminals, and seizing a lot of drugs, it has never curtailed the growth of drugs like methamphetamine and synthetic cannabis.

Karori installation honours Ruth

By Glenise Dreaver

The late Ruth Gotlieb loved yellow, and this tribute to her was erected on the empty site that formerly housed St John’s in Karori. It was installed under cover of darkness in the early hours of the morning, so that her funeral cortege passed it on her last journey to her resting place in the Makara cemetery. PHOTO supplied.

On Sunday afternoon, some 5-600 people filled the entire lower floor of the Wellington Opera House to honour Ruth Gotlieb QSO at her funeral service.

As the service was completed, and after many heartfelt words of thanks and praise for the 2010 Wellingtonian of the Year were heard, the Rabbi broke with tradition.

He called for an ovation – and it was a standing ovation for this vibrant, passionate and energetic woman who had given so much to Wellington.

Her cortege then wended its way through the city she loved

and served so well, to her interment at Makara Cemetery.

As the route passed down Karori Road there was a surprise for everyone, an art installation in Ruth’s honour, installed under cover of darkness early on Sunday morning.

Yellow – Ruth’s favourite colour – it included a leisure area, a petanque court and a volleyball net and had been erected on the long-empty site at the corner of Karori Road and Campbell Street formerly occupied by St John’s.

One eye witness said : “Her family were rapt. Truly very honoured,” adding that Ruth would have supported the mes-

sage that the long-disused space should be used constructively as soon as possible.

Ironically, later in the day, passers-by found some young people putting the installation to good use.

They were having a great time with the volleyball net, hoping this would be a permanent arrangement and pointing out that there was nothing like this in the area for them to use.

If rumour is to be believed, the anonymous installers are also threatening to do more in the way of similar protests…..

We can be sure that Ruth’s whole-hearted approval can safely be assumed.

Garden to Table made real Defibs gifted to schools

By Glenise Dreaver

Bridget Wylie, year five and six teacher at Cardinal McKeefry School in Wilton, says her class loves Wednesdays.

That’s the time when their Garden to Table programme runs, when the children tend their vegetable garden – and cook the results.

That enthusiasm has seen one of their school’s two-person teams become finalists in the Wellington round of the regional Root to Tip competition run by the Garden to Table Charitable Trust.

Nell Laracy McCrystal and Jessica Ramsay will be off to Weltec tomorrow, Friday August 2, competing against five other Wellington schools for the chance to be national finalists on Friday August 23.

They will have exactly two hours to cook a meal based mainly on the ingredients they have grown.

On Wednesday morning, when the Independent Herald visited, Room 2 were making pizza dish, and working with the volunteers who have brought their skills to help them with their learning.

Meanwhile Nell and Jessica were practicing the pizza and carrot cake they will cook in the competition. Nell’s father John assists with the vegetable garden and Jessica’s mother Pam Ramsay has stepped up as part of the team helping them with cooking and health and safety skills.

Bridget, the school’s Garden to Table coordinator, says the philosophy of Garden to Table is Grow, Harvest, Prepare, Share.

Room 2 focuses on growing vegetables and learning to cook them into tasty food which the whole class sits down to eat together each Wednesday. There are two teams Wai

(water) and Ra (Sun) and each Wednesday one team takes a turn in the garden and the other cooks a meal for their class.

There is, as well as gardening and cooking skills, an aim to build environmental responsibility through the compost and worm farm, healthy eating, sharing and community connectedness. Please contact Cardinal McKeefry School if you’d like to be a volunteer for this programme.

The children of Newlands Intermediate were all there to give a hearty cheer to celebrate the donation of this defibrillator.

Four schools in the Independent Herald’s ’s circulation area - Karori Normal School, Newlands Intermediate, Churton Park Primary, and St Mary’s College, who all have heart kids enrolled, have been selected to be gifted automated external defibrillators (AEDs).

Wellington Free Ambulance and HeartKids Wellington have teamed up with new charity, Embracing Hearts, to get these devices into schools across Wellington where they are needed most.

Embracing Hearts founder Emma Lawler says as a heart mum, she knows first-hand just how worrying it can be sending your child to school.

“The risk of heart failure is very real for many kids with congenital heart defects.

We are so proud to be giving heart families, schools and their communities the reassurance of a defibrillator right there if it’s needed,” she says.

The first AEDs for schools were purchased from Wellington Free Ambulance by the Buddle Findlay Child Health Foundation.

Newlands Intermediate principal An-

gela Lowe says having the defibrillator is a privilege for the school.

“We will always have students or adults at our school who may need the support of these life saving devices,” she says.

“We are a community school and our turf, hall and grounds are used all day every day.

“Who knows when or who might need the device?

“In a perfect world the device will never be used but it’s so good to know it is here and we will all know how to use it. “ “This is a great opportunity to not only ensure our tamariki can be safer at school but also help create safer communities around Wellington.

“While it is important AEDs are accessible to everyone, our hope is that they don’t need to be used – but if they do, people will know how to use them.

Thanks to the Lloyd Morrison Foundation Wellington Free provide free CPR training sessions to schools, businesses and community groups across the Wellington region,” Amy Williams of Wellington Free Ambulance says.

readers have their say... Find out the WORD on the Street.

Question: What useful life skills need to be taught in schools?

Belinda Walker, Wadestown “My top three are problem solving, creativity and communication.

Everything else can be taught.”

Derek Best, Newlands “Using time well.”

Emily Thompson, Johnsonville “To an extent school does prepare you, but a lot of basic information like tax, mortgages and what is reasonable to expect from a government.”

Jim Hollis, Woodridge “Budgeting, respect for others and working in the community for others.”

Letitia Klopper, Churton Park “I really enjoyed growing vegetables, cooking and that should be taught more often.”

Nida Shaikh, Paparangi “There should be in-school programmes that focus on what careers students are actually interested in and what they want to do at university.”

EYE ON CRIME In Johnsonville an attempt was made to steal a black Suzuki motorbike which had been parked during the day in the driveway of a house in Dominion Park Street.

The vehicle was protected by a steering lock and the ignition barrel was damaged in the attempt.

A shop in Haumia Street was broken into via a smashed window at the side of the building.

Several items are reported to have been stolen.

In Burgess Road, an animal clinic in Burgess Road was broken into and the glass middle panel of the front door was smashed to gain access. A till was taken.

A silver Honda Civic saloon parked locked and secure overnight in Corlett Street was stolen, and a silver Subaru Forester

stationwagon parked locked overnight on the road in Stephen Street was stolen.

In Newlands a house under renovation in Glanmire Road was broken into, with the front door jemmied open to gain access.

A copper water tank was stolen.

This is the third time this month that this house has been broken into.

In Churton Park a house under construction in Melksham Drive was entered via a smashed window. The battery from the alarm had been removed by the intruders. No appliances had yet been installed in the house and nothing was stolen.

In Karori a house in Gipps Street was entered, probably through an upstairs bathroom

window which is accessible by a fire escape. The intruder entered the master bedroom and scattered underwear around and rifled through handbags, drawers and jewellery boxes but nothing was stolen.

A white Toyota Hilux truck parked overnight close to a house in Estuary Street, Makara Beach, was stolen.

Enliven’s Huntleigh Apartments worth purring about

Huntleigh Apartments selling now 221 Karori Road, Karori

Open Days Thursday 1 & 8 August 10am - 12pm The modern Huntleigh Retirement Apartments by Enliven are light, bright and just the right size. These sought after apartments have been recently renovated, all with updated fixtures and fittings, and are waiting for you.

Take a step back and enjoy the independence and freedom of living in your own home, but without the worry and hassle. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to make Huntleigh Apartments your new home.

Interested? Come along to the open day or call sales agent, Allan Davidson, on 04 439 4949 to arrange a viewing.

Shirley Robertson has always been an independent woman, so when it came time to choose a retirement village, she didn’t want that to change.

“Huntleigh was a no brainer,” she says of her Enliven apartment complex, which is located on Karori Road close to the shopping centre, buses and the city.

Shirley is still happy with her decision 10 years later, and finds the apartments and neighbouring rest home easy to manoeuvre as she nears her 80th birthday.

“I’m really glad I was able to make the decision for myself and keep control of my life,” says Shirley.

“I am able to continue doing what I love and take part in activities. I can talk to other residents, or be quite content just by myself.”

The apartments are bright and modern, and inspired Shirley to try out her interior design skills, utilising her favourite colours of light blues and greens.

But she says the best addition to her home is her feline friend Gabbie, a grey and white moggy cat who has stayed with her for 10 years.

“I thought a retirement village wouldn’t want a cat hanging around, but Gabbie made quite the impression. Now there are a few cats here and they make themselves at home as much as the residents do.”

Both Huntleigh Apartments and neighbouring Huntleigh Home welcome residents with pets, as long as the animal gets on with others. It’s all part of Enliven’s elder-centred philosophy, which includes supporting people to maintain connections with their family and friends, the community, children, animals and nature. The philosophy

Huntleigh Apartment owner Shirley Robertson with Gabbie the cat

is shared by all of Enliven’s homes and villages, including Cashmere Home and Cashmere Heights Home in Johnsonville. Enliven’s Huntleigh Apartments have fully renovated apartments available.

Anyone interested is invited to attend an open day, held every Thursday until August 8. Open days are held at 221 Karori Road, Karori, Wellington. For more information call sales agent Allan Davidson on 04 439 4949 or visit www. enlivencentral.org.nz. PBA

Brett’s Brief National Party List MP based in Ōhāriu

Cancer is the biggest cause of death in New Zealand.

Most New Zealanders have a story of loved ones and friends who have been affected by cancer.

That’s why we’ve announced a policy which would invest an extra $200 million over four years for PHARMAC to fund cancer drugs.

We’ll also establish a National Cancer Agency to delivery better diagnoses, access and treatment for cancer sufferers across New Zealand.

Kura Moeahu, a senior parliamentary advisor, performed the blessing at last Wednesday’s ceremony to open the new Johnsonville kindergarten in the Waitohi hub building. He is with senior supervising teacher Annie Masterton and wife Alicia Moeahu. PHOTO supplied.

Dawn blessing for kindy A dawn blessing was held in Johnsonville this week to formally bless the new space for Waitohi Kindergarten, which will replace Johnsonville All Day Kindergarten.

The new kindergarten is in the new library building, and the kindergarten’s first day will be on August 5.

Head teacher Annie Masterton

says the blessing, by Kura Moeahu, was beautiful and representatives from the building company, the council and He Whanau Manaaki then entered the space to share their “good energy” with the building.

Kura also gifted the kindergarten a song, “Haere Mai ki te Whare Waitohi”.

Annie spoke on behalf of the kindergarten, and thanked every-

one for the role they have played, and said it would be a building of “learning, fun and love’.

Since the blessing, new furniture has been unveiled, and the children have seen it and are very excited.

Annie says the children extracted a promise from the teachers that when the building housing the old kindergarten is demolsished, the toys will be spared.

It will ensure that no matter where you live in New Zealand you will get the same standard of care. Too often people in regional New Zealand are disadvantaged because they don’t have access to the same services as those in our biggest cities.

In Government, National lifted annual investment in PHARMAC by $220m.

That meant around 820,000 New Zealanders benefited

from more medicines being funded PHARMAC. Despite claiming to be caring and compassionate the current Government only put an extra 1 per cent into PHARMAC for life-saving drugs. That doesn’t even cover inflation.

They’re putting 75 times more money into Shane Jones’ political slush fund than into PHARMAC. New Zealanders shouldn’t have to pack up their lives and go to other countries for cancer treatment. They shouldn’t have to mortgage their houses, set up a Givealittle page, or take out massive loans to be able to afford medicines which are funded in other countries.

National’s Cancer Fund is a priority for us. It will help thousands of Kiwis. It is the right thing to do.

We’ll do it because our bottom line is you.

A new chapter for Johnsonville Kindergarten

Johnsonville Kindergarten began at 2 Wanaka Street in 1955 but, eight years ago, plans began for a move to the Waitohi Community Hub that would be built next door.

Their new space is now ready and so, on July, 27, the kindergarten held a party to celebrate 64 years in Johnsonville’s Wanaka Street. Memories will be part of the fabric of Waitohi as children and teachers made colourful hand prints on a wall board that will move with them next week. In the same spirit, the handprints had been incorporated in a korowai.

Head teacher Annie Masterton explained

Matariki unites everyone

The celebration of Matariki held at the Johnsonville Community Centre on Saturday evening was a way to bring everyone together said the vice president of the Multicultural Council of Wellington, Mohan Mistry.

The guest speaker was Toa Waaka of

that the children had eagerly watched the diggers and cranes at work, adding that in their new centre, the kindergarten will be better placed to play a greater role in the life of the wider community of Johnsonville.

Annie also revealed their new logo, representing Mount Kaukau with its TV transmitter above the Waitohi stream (the old name of the Nga Uranga stream).

The main event for the children was to eat the celebration cake after it was cut

by Ella Raukawa, whose granny, Diane Clingan, had made it.

The strong sense of family in the event suggests that the kindergarten will now go from strength to strength in Waitohi.

Multicultural council members at their Matariki celebration on Saturday included Sam Manzanza from The Democratic Republic of Congo, with Irina Crews (nee Shatalova) from Novosibirsk in Siberia. Her costume was, she said, based on a doll she found on the internet. “The Russian answer to Barbie.” PHOTO: Glenise Dreaver.

the SMART trust, the Society of Maori Astronomical Research Traditions, and this internationally recognised researcher said his family had a tradition of astronomy going back 2000 years.

In line with the multicultural focus of the evening he said: “All our cultures are united by the stars of Matariki”.

A JEWISH STATE WAS NEEDED

On the 14th May 1948 the first Prime Minister of the modern State of Israel, David Ben-Gurion, proclaimed these words in Israel’s Declaration of Independence: “The catastrophe which recently befell the Jewish people—the massacre of millions of Jews in Europe— was another clear demonstration of the urgency of solving the problem of its homelessness by re-establishing in Eretz-Israel the Jewish State…

THE STATE OF ISRAEL will be open for Jewish immigration and for the Ingathering of the Exiles; it will foster the development of the country for the benefit of all its inhabitants; it will be based on freedom, justice and peace as envisaged by the prophets of Israel; it will ensure complete equality of social and political rights to all its inhabitants irrespective of religion, race or sex; it will guarantee freedom of religion, conscience, language, education and culture; it will safeguard the Holy Places of all religions…”

The State of Israel has been faithful to the words expressed

by Ben-Gurion. It has taken in millions of Jews from around the globe—hundreds of thousands who were refugees from war-ravaged Europe were among the first to arrive in 1948. Within months of the birth of the State, the Displaced Persons camps in Europe that housed devastated Jews were closed down as their occupants had gone home to Israel. Many more who were forced out of Arab States in the Middle East and North Africa in the first few years of independence arrived back home too. Israel has dealt with Jewish “homelessness” and continues to do so because Israel is the indigenous Jewish homeland.

All sectors of Israeli society—Jewish, Arab, Muslim, Christian, Druze etc. share equally in the benefits of the nation in education and culture, politics and religion, business and employment. All have the same equal opportunities you would find in any other genuine democracy. Of course there are problems being worked out within that democracy but there is not one democratic state in the world which is not still ‘a work in progress’—New Zealand included. In his speech as Israeli Foreign Minister to the United Nations commemorating the Holocaust in 2005 Silvan Shalom said: “Since its establishment Israel has provided a haven for Jews facing persecution anywhere in the world. At the same time, it has built a society based on the values of democracy and freedom for all its citizens, where Jewish life and culture and literature and religion and learning— all those things which the Nazis sought to destroy—can flourish and thrive.”

Recent history proves that there needed to be a Jewish State and it must remain a Jewish State. Nazi Germany is long gone but anti-Semites are still found in every nook and cranny and they are increasing rapidly. Sometimes it is blatant and directed against the Jewish people simply because they are Jews. At other times it is veiled and directed against the State of the Jewish people in the form of anti-Israel policies at the UN. Anti-Zionist sentiment is another manifestation of anti-Semitism. Zionism is simply the ideal of the Jew to live on his natural, historical and ancestral homeland. Anti-Semitism is unjustified persecution against the Jewish People. Its political companion is espoused as anti-Zionist sentiments and anti-Israel conduct in international affairs. The Basic (Nation State) Law passed by Israel’s lawmakers in 2018 which was decried by its opponents as apartheid and racist, is simply a clarification of what Ben-Gurion declared at Israel’s independence. It is not anti-Arab or anti any race or religion. It simply enshrines the need to preserve the State of Israel as a Jewish State that will always remain just that, while at the same time giving respect and room to non-Jews who live within that state.

A JEWISH STATE MUST REMAIN

The nations who gathered at Evian in France in July 1938 just prior to the Second World War offered the Jews of Europe little hope of sanctuary or salvation. After gathering there to discuss the Jewish refugee crisis which was growing because of Hitler’s policies, many of the 32 representatives seemed to be more absorbed by the

luxuries and pleasures the holiday resort afforded than the refugee problem they had gathered to discuss. To the shame of the international community they offered little to the Jews of Europe at a time when the fires of extermination were being kindled. Had there existed by this time the Jewish State that the League of Nations had promised years earlier then millions of European Jews could have been saved. Both Canada and Australia have recently made official apologies to the Jewish people for their callousness toward desperate European Jewish refugees.

New Zealand had an affirmative part in the League of Nations decision in 1922 to grant Palestine to the Jewish people as their national homeland. Our nation also was part of the Evian discussion in 1938 and although Jewish refugees were taken in by New Zealand our quota was far too small. Everything changed with the reestablishment of Jewish statehood.

When the Jews of North Africa and the Middle East were being persecuted after the War it was the reinstated State of Israel which came to their rescue. More Jewish refugees were taken in by Israel in its formative years of existence because of Arab persecution than the displacement of Palestinian refugees as a result of Israel’s War of Independence which was forced upon Israel by the Arab nations.

In 1967 as strong Arab armies began to mobilise and converge upon Israel’s vulnerable borders with the express aim of destroying the 19 year old Jewish State, the United Nations abandoned their responsibility to step in and chastise the Arab nations for their threat to a sovereign democracy. Even France who at the time was Israel’s closest ally abandoned her at her time of need. In desperation the Israelis were forced to act with a pre-emptive strike against the Arab air forces which were threatening them. Within six days, adding to the Arab shame for their aggression against Israel, was the Arab humiliation of a resounding defeat. The rest is history.

When an airliner of innocent Jews was taken hostage and ended up at Entebbe airport in Uganda in 1976 it was the State of Israel who came to their rescue. The Jews of Ethiopia were rescued from great peril in dramatic airlifts in operations that took place in 1984 and 1991. These airlifts would rival any of the Bible stories that have made the people of Israel famous from antiquity. With the demise of the Soviet Union in 1989 it was the State of Israel that offered many of the Jews of that crumbling empire a real refuge and hope. Over a million came from the former Soviet Union in just 10 years. Without the State of Israel these Jews would have been at the mercy of non-democratic regimes which were cruel, ruthless and anti-Semitic.

There needs to remain an independent Jewish State that can function with or without the cooperation of other nations. The horror of all horrors—the Holocaust—just 75 years ago, as well as blatant and increasing anti-Semitism everywhere, demands the continuation of Jewish statehood.

The Jewish people are justified in having their own sovereign state. They have learned from centuries of experience at the hands of merciless persecutors. Now amid threats from Iran and others who have stated that their aim is to completely destroy them; when it comes to the security of their very existence “we will defend ourselves by ourselves”. This is the lesson they have learned after millennia of Jew-hatred.

NEW ZEALAND MUST BACK THE JEWISH STATE

The anti-Semitic movement which is trying to disguise itself as a humanitarian cause for the Palestinian Arabs–BDS (for Boycotts, Divestments and Sanctions against the State of Israel)—is primarily a political weapon in the hands of Israel’s enemies to try and discredit and delegitimize the Jewish people in their quest to maintain their self-determination. The chant of the BDS activists which correlates with their maps of Palestine (showing no room for a Jewish state) is “From the River to the Sea Palestine will be free!”

This really is the intent and purpose behind BDS—not just to delegitimise Israel but to damn the State altogether.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau summed it up when he said of BDS in January: “We need to understand that anti-Semitism has also manifested itself not just as in targeting of individuals, but it is also targeting a new condemnation or anti-Semitism against the very State of Israel…which can be characterised by the three d’s—demonization of Israel, a double standard around Israel and a de-legitimization of the State of Israel… I will continue to condemn the BDS movement”.

There is indeed a double-standard in the UN when it comes to Israel.

We saw that at the end of 2016 in UN Security Council Resolution 2334 when Israeli settlements were condemned outright, without respect to secure borders or to the historical connection the Jews have to the land. The ratio of condemnations dished out by the UN against Israel as compared to the rest of the world is usually at least four condemnations to Israel for every one condemnation to all the other nations combined. That’s a DOUBLE STANDARD. When despotic and un-democratic nations are by-passed and the one true democracy in the Middle East is ostracised unjustly then it’s time for NZ to stand aside from the crowd and vote against these anti-Israel resolutions. National Party leaders who were in government at the time UNSC Res. 2334 was passed have since admitted that the resolution was “wrong”. In a more recent case on 6 December 2018 under the Labour-led Government, New Zealand voted in favour of a UN resolution condemning the terrorism of Hamas but immediately prior to this abstained on another resolution to require a two-thirds majority for the Hamas condemnation to be passed.

New Zealand honourably condemned Hamas terrorism in one vote but first dishonourably killed that vote by sitting on the fence. Why require a two-thirds majority to condemn terrorism? Again it seems truth was sacrificed for appeasement to Arab pressure. The elusive Middle East peace deal, if ever realised, will never produce a lasting peace as long as historical truth is its sacrificial lamb—a sacrifice the UN seems eager to make but a deal Israel should never accept.

The Israelis have shown their willingness to placate the Palestinians on this but the Palestinians have not returned the favour. Let’s be clear: the Israelis hold land they have a right to hold. The Palestinians want that land. The best chance for a peaceful outcome is NEGOTIATION and respect between the two parties. The best way to botch this is by continued unfair and one-sided UN resolutions against Israel which New Zealand often supports. Despite his domestic challenges in Canada recently, the New Zealand Government could still learn from Justin Trudeau.

SPORT Sports talk

with Jacob Page

Beauden and Brodie the big concerns Kick your goals, Beauden!

I don’t care if Beauden Barrett sets up tries with his running game in an arm wrestle, which so many key World Cup games are, his goal kicking is a liability.

For the second time in 12 months, his lacklustre goal kicking cost the All Blacks a match as the Springboks scrambled a 16-16 draw in Wellington.

Barrett missed two regulation

penalty kicks which came back to haunt the All Blacks in a game they did enough to win but ultimately didn’t deserve to come out on the right side of.

I’m also bur ying the lead because if Brodie Retallick’s arm injury looked as bad as it appeared when he left the game after an hour, then I’m not sure if we can win the Webb Ellis Trophy for a third straight time anyway.

The All Blacks, the pinnacle of world rugby for a decade, have slowly been reeled in as other countries appear to have caught up.

Losing Brodie would be an irreplaceable blow.

The men in black looked lethargic the entire first half but were much improved in the second.

The Boks won the physical exchanges in the first 40.

The Barrett and Richie Mo’unga experiment earned a lukewarm pass mark at best.

The sad thing about Barrett’s kicking trouble is it will force him to play fullback so Mo’unga kicks goals which forces the world’s best fullback, Ben Smith, onto the wing.

Smith, along with the return of Dane Coles, were real highlights.

Aaron Smith also added some

zip at scrumhalf when he came on.

Kieran Read, Sonny Bill Williams and Rieko Ioane were passengers most of the night.

No Brodie, no World Cup but no goal kicking composure and we won’t be winning it either.

For the first time in a long time Steve Hansen and co have tough decisions to make under the scrutiny of a restless and unforgiving New Zealand public eye.

Local side shows its class

By Grant Stephen

In the words of one Wellington Olympic supporter “we were outmuscled” and that certainly was the case when North Wellington took on Wellington Olympic in the Men’s Central League on Saturday.

The 2-0 win for the Johnsonville-based side was gratifying. It not only confirmed third spot in the league for a week a least but also made up for the narrow loss in the first round encounter between the two sides at Wakefield Park.

Sadly the match did not live up to the hype from when the teams first met.

There were numerous attacks from both sides that petered out and possession was lost or stolen too many times to count.

Both keepers had excellent shifts and were kept busy throughout the match. North’s Sacha Nathu went home with bragging rights with his clean sheet while Olympic’s Scott Basalaj could do very little with the two North Wellington goals that went past him.

Zac Hansen scored in the twefth minute when he climbed high to a well-floated

corner ball on the right hand post and hit it with force across the goal to settle in the back of the net on the left hand side.

It was a comprehensive strike that did wonders for the local supporters and certainly shifted the equilibrium North Wellington’s way.

At the same moment in the second half North’s Kiernan Hughes-Mason was taken down in the Olympic box and a penalty was duly awarded.

Young Jesse Randall calmly slotted the ball right down the middle with Basalaj diving to his left in vain. The match was decided then and there.

In other matches in the round, Stop Out piled on 11 unbeaten goals over Wellington United who are anchored to rock bottom on the table while Lower Hutt were too good for Karori winning 3-1 on the road.

Miramar travelled to Napier City Rovers and beat their hosts 2-1. Western Suburbs had a valuable 3-1 win over Wairarapa United and Wests now enjoy a five point lead at the top of the heap with just two matches to play.

In the Capital 1 League the North Wellington Men’s reserves had a comfortable 4-0 win over Brooklyn and are a step closer to promotion and playing in the Premier League next year.

On Sunday the North Wellington Women’s Premier team travelled to Newtown Park to face Wellington United.

A second half goal to Wellington United was cancelled out by Nicola Ross with a

cross from the corner that turned out to be a shot that went straight through everybody and into the net. With a minute to play, Ash Mason lost her marker, headed for open space and buried a great shot past the keeper to make the final score 2-1 to Norths.

The win sees the team unbeaten at the top of the table with daylight between them and Wellington United in second spot.

Former New Zealand indoor netball representative Daphne Tou has gone from stayat-home mother to a career in bus driving.

A self-professed social butterfly, she says she needs to talk to people and socialise.

She had seen an ad from Metlink on her mobile wanting more bus drivers, then saw it again on TV. “I took it as a sign.”

She works out of the depot in Grenada, which is, she says, like being at home because it is such a family-oriented environment.

Her favourite route is the number 25 from Khandallah to Highbury, with the challenge of driving around narrow roads and over the hills.

Daphne Tou loves the social side of being a bus driver.
