A British ship enters Wellington harbour, a handsome young offi cer comes ashore and goes to a Saturday night dance. There, he meets a pretty young nurse from Wel-lington hospital.

From then on it's all history, says Ray Wright.

Local man Ray and his wife Betty celebrated their diamond wedding an-niversary last week.

“I’ve been wondering where all the years have gone,” Ray says.

The love story started 62 years ago at that Saturday night dance in Wellington.

ENFORCING THE LAW: Sergeant Megan Gouverneur

says police will be enforcing the lower alcohol limit.

By Dan Whitfi eld

Alcohol contributes to about 30 per cent of New Zealand’s

fatal road crashes, which is why New Zealand Police will

be enforcing a new drink-driving limit for drivers aged 20

years and over.As of December 1, anyone caught driving with more than

250 micrograms of alcohol per litre of breath will face a

fi ne of up to $200, as well as receiving 50 demerit points.

Meanwhile, the alcohol limit for drivers under the age of

20 will remain at zero.The blood alcohol limit was also lowered from 80mg of

alcohol per 100ml of blood, to 50mg. Continued on page 2

Welcoming in 2015, the Inde-pendent Herald took a look back over the year that was, with a number of updates on major local projects that are nearing completion, topped off with a few success stories.

January saw local Johnson-ville business woman Marieka Schrader submit her petition to Ohariu MP Peter Dunne asking for a skate park to be built in the area. The petition with 325 signatures was passed on to Wellington City Councillor Justin Lester and while nothing has been set in stone, her pro-posal is getting support from skateboarders around the town.

In February three hard-working girls from Newlands College who were recognised for their efforts, earning the Chief Scout Award. Jasmine Casidy, Rachel Gray and Miriam Roberts-Thomson were presented with their Chief

Scout Award by their leaders and subsequent, the girls were congratulated by Governor General Jerry Mateparae.Also in February, the redevel-opment of Grasslees Reserve, between Tawa’s Main Road and its swimming pool, was started.

One of Karori Mudcycle’s fi nest mountain bike racers overcame the odds and beat her previous 2013 record at the Karapoti Classic in March. She smashed the fastest women’s record time in the process.A 9-year-old Ngaio School student was also the youngest person to complete the 50km Karapoti Classic event. Ben Mitchell claimed the youngest mountain biker title.

April saw a group of fi ve volunteer firefighters from Newlands prepare themselves for Sky Tower Stair Challenge, pushing their bodies to the limit all in the name of charity. Tim Cook, David Chapman-Taylor,

Paul Fleming, Lyndsay Burns and Jeff Aukuso raced up the 1,103 steps to raise money for the Leukaemia and Blood Cancer New Zealand.The Newlands Neighbours day in April was also a great success with people from all over the suburb coming out to Nga Hau e Wha o Papararangi Marae.The day was hosted in part-nership by the marae and Newlands Community Centre to promote community and civil preparedness.

In May, more than 1400 submissions were received by the New Zealand Transport Agency over a proposed road linking Petone and Grenada. Ngaio resident Rob Suisted has a property in the Takapu Valley and in a 40 page submission, his preferred option is outlined as the cheapest one, the only option with no big roundabout. But this was discarded by the NZTA.Also in May, the recognisable face of Jim Young celebrated his retirement. The former real

estate agent at Guardian First National marked the important milestone with a shared lunch with his colleagues.

June saw the Makara Com-munity Centre Association, who own St Patrick’s Church and Monk Cottage, have $40,000 approved to purchase the land they stand on to secure their ownership and management by the Makara community. This funding con-tributed to previous Meridian West Wind Community Fund grants to the land purchase of $80,000.

Local Karori Constable Jono Leach needed the support of his community in July as he prepared to take on the Dean Gifford Memorial Stair Climb and Head Shave, racing up 26 fl ights of stairs in Wellington highest building, the Majestic Centre. A number of police joined Jono in the event to raise money for the Child Cancer Foundation.

July also saw Johnsonville’s Olympic Athletics club rec-ognised as the North Island’s top cross country club after heading 34 other clubs at the North Island Cross Country championships in Taupo. All but one of the women's under 18 team were from Olympic, who won a cup for their efforts.

Bettie and Ray Wright cel-ebrated their 60th Wedding anniversary in August, with their story beginning when a British ship enters Wellington harbour, a hand-some young offi cer comes ashore and goes to a Saturday night dance and meets a pretty young nurse from Wellington hospital.August also saw work on the new wider railway overbridge in Johnsonville begin, with with contractors setting up site at commuter parking spaces near to the local station.

September saw more than 500 locals turned out to listen to seven of Ohariu’s parliamentary candidates in what was one of the biggest crowds in the electorate for the last 15 years. The spot was one by local MP Peter Dunne.It also saw Churton Park local Andrew Robinson lead his team to a undefeated season claiming a fi fth consecutive title for the Marist St Pats under 85kgs grade, defeating Tawa on August 30.

After more than 20 years, work began on Onslow Medi-cal Centre’s new sustainabil-ity driven medical centre, with construction starting in October. The new building will be approximately 300sqm which is three times the size of their current premise. It is still under construction.Also more than $20,000 was been raised from October’s spring fair run by St Ben-edict’s School. The money

will go towards purchasing a bunch of iPads for students, as well as installing a shade area for the outside junior school classrooms.

In November, residents had witnessed a dramatic over-haul of Johnsonville’s Keith Spry Pool, with a number of external alterations being done. The replacement of the existing roof was close to 90 per cent complete. Another upgrade is the roof on the new changing rooms and the windows for the children's pool. Tabea Squire, one of New Zealand’s top young compos-ers, was given a chance to learn from some of the best in November, helping her better establish her skills. She was selected for the NZSO TODD Corporation Young Compos-ers Award programme. Bill Rawiri’s selfl ess commit-ment to the community was also recognised by Mayor

Celia Wade-Brown at the No-vember Absolutely Positively Wellingtonian Awards.

Year nine students from Samuel Marsden Collegiate School learnt the true mean-ing of why it is important to remember the fallen sol-diers of World War One in December. About 60 students were given the task to research the lives of fallen Karori soldiers, creating a WWI Field of Remembrance at the school. A 100 metre long train mural was also installed along the Moorefi eld Road in Decem-ber. Created by local artist Sheyne Tuffery, along with help from a collaboration of 11 school groups and youth organisation, Challenge 2000, the aim of the project was to develop a striking mural in partnership with the community that told the story of the development of Johnsonville as a suburb.

Vandalism stirs up communityA car belonging to a resident living in the Newlands-Paparangi area was vandalised recently.The incident allegedly happened at the lower end of Carluke Street at about 3am, and an image of the car was uploaded to the Newlands/Paparangi/Woodridge Community Facebook page by the owner, accord-ing to a member of the page that spoke to the Independent Herald. The page is generally used for resi-dents of the area to share general discussion and information, and the recent incident is the talk of many members. A number of other incidents involving vandalism in the community have also been reported.The Independent Herald was not able to contact Constable Jake Attwood of the Johnsonville Police Station, but more details will come in the next few weeks.

Air New Zealand has kick o� its 75th anniversary celebrations with the launch of a special exhibition Te Papa.

The airline, which celebrates 75 years of operations this year, has worked with Te Papa to create a free retrospective exhibition Air New Zealand 75 Years: Our nation. The world. Connected that is open to the public until June.

The display showcases everything from crew uniforms to inflight en-tertainment and takes visitors on a journey through the decades of Air New Zealand’s history – from the early days of � ying boats right through to the wide-bodied Boeing jets of today, with a small glimpse into the future too.

Neville Jordan, the incoming chancellor of Victoria Univer-sity was one of many Wel-lingtonians who has received a 2015 New Year Honours – with his knighthood recognising his services to business, science and the community.

The investor and adviser in science and technology was appointed a member of the Victoria University Council by the Minister for Tertiary Education in 2013, and was recently elected as chancellor by members.

The acknowledgement comes as an honour and Neville says he is humbled by the knighthood.

“I grew up in a family with no telephone, no car or holidays away and started working in the local freezing works at age 13. This honour is beyond

anything I could have dreamed about…Receiving the news was totally stunning and I acknowledge all those who have given me encouragement and support throughout the years,” Neville says.

Ian Charles Athfield, ser-vices to architecture; Pat-rick John Walsh, services to tertiary education; Annette Elizabeth Black, services to legal education; John Murray Hunn, services to business and philanthrophy; Anne-Frances Mary Jackson, services to the New Zealand Police and the community; David Ed-ward Trappitt, services to the New Zealand Police and the community; and William Robert Day, services to health and the community were also presented with a New Years Honours.

Other recipients included

Victoria Manning, services to the deaf and disabled commu-nities; Avenal Beryl Elizabeth McKinnon, services to the arts; Pele Walker, services to the Pacific community; Warren Arthur Young, services to the law; Beverly Dawn Patterson and Bruce John Patterson, services to the community; and Klara Marta Szentirmay, services to the Hungarian community.

The vice-chancellor of Victo-ria, professor Grant Guilford, congratulated Neville and says the university is very proud of his achievement.

“Neville has a long stand-ing connection to Victoria; he studied engineering here early in his career and has taken a keen interest in the development of our capability in engineering and science,” Grant says.

He tells the Independent Herald that Neville’s skill and experience will be of signifi -cant benefi t to Victoria.

“His knighthood has been approved by the Queen for services to business, science and the community, all areas in which Victoria is focused on strengthening its engagement,” he says.

Neville has a background in electronics engineering and is a distinguished fellow of the Institution of Professional Engineers of New Zealand.

His previous awards and ac-colades include the Governor-General’s Supreme Award for exporting and induction into both the New Zealand Hi Tech Hall of Fame and the New Zealand Business Hall of Fame.

He was also Wellingtonian of the Year in 2012.

Shortlisted for top NZerA Wellingtonian has made it on to the

short list for New Zealander of the Year 2015 – run by Kiwibank.

Judge Peter Boshier of the Law Com-missioner was one of 10 that made it on to the list, along with Lower Hutt’s Cassandra Treadwell, chief executive and founder of So They Can also claimed a spot.

The awards are in their sixth year and chief judge Cameron Bennett says determining the New Zealander of Year is a very tough job for the judging panel. “The calibre of nominations was very high,” he says.

The final shortlist of three people being considered for the 2015 Kiwibank New Zealander of the Year will be made later this month, and a winner announced on February 25.

The Botanical Gardens sound shell will be a hive of activity over the next few weeks as Wellington winds down from the holiday period.

Dubbed Meridian Gardens Magic, the sound shell will play host to over 200 performers during 90 live events – from local legends to rising stars.

It will run from Tuesday, January 6, until Sunday, January 25. Attendance is expected to be up to 2,500 people each night and when the sun goes down.

A new next generation fi xed speed camera on the Wel-lington Motorway was switched to operational mode last month.

Infrastructure for the new camera on State Highway Two between Horokiwi and Petone was installed in October. Since then, the camera has been operating in test mode.

It is the second camera to go live on the stretch of motor-way between Wellington and Petone.

A digital camera on State Highway One next to the Thorn-don on-ramp went operational in November, replacing an older-style camera.

Up and running

For years the Newlands-Paparan-gi Plunket Centre has been a rock to hundreds of mums, providing much needed parenting informa-tion and support. But last month, volunteers closed the doors for good.

The decision to close the Ken-more Street building was made because the location was no longer big enough. Services ended on December 29 and were picked up by the hub in Johnsonville which already runs most of what Plunket

offers.Kate Ritch, a Plunket volunteer,

says it is a shame to see it close because of all the hard work that has gone into creating the service over the years, but it is not sustain-able to keep it open anymore.

“Most clients already go to the Johnsonville hub for some sort of support so I don’t think people will be put off by the change,” Kate says.

The building is set to remain in place until March when it is removed and the land returned to council.

From now on, clients visiting their local Plunket nurse or health worker will be attending the pur-pose built centre in Johnsonville that provides more space. Clients who require home visits will also still be serviced at home.

“There remains a committed group of volunteers who will still have a presence in the commu-nity and continue to still support Newlands-Paparangi families. But there will no longer be a building in Newlands,” Kate says.

Johnsonville Plunket Centre is located on Rotoiti Street.

11 New Zealand and inter-national productions, one mini Film Festival, fi ve world premieres, and 169 perfor-mances; now in its seventh outing, the Capital E National Arts Festival makes a much-anticipated return to the Wel-lington cultural calendar.

Showcasing productions from all over the globe, the Festival opens on Saturday 7 March with Caterpillars, by Paris-based Kiwi Thomas Monckton and Finland’s Kallo Collective, and begins three weekends of fantastic productions for Wellington audiences.

Following a hugely success-ful season at the 2014 New Zealand Festival, Australia’s seminal circus ensemble, Circa, presents a New Zealand premiere; The Village Ac-commodation Group season of Carnival of the Animals, the first of three Australian companies taking part in this year’s Festival.

Jens Altheimer, part clown, part mechanic, brings his visual extravaganza-meets-science experiment, with The Hits season of Squaring the Wheel, and Windmill Thea-tre /Barking Gecko Theatre Company, in partnership with Scottish company, Catherine Wheels, present The Ballad of Pondlife McGurk.

Including six New Zealand companies, this coming Fes-tival is certainly a celebration

of home-grown talent, with Trick of the Light Theatre pre-senting the world premiere of Beards! Beards! Beards! and internationally-renowned Orchestra of Spheres, creating a truly interactive musical experience.

Following an award-winning season of Duck, Death & the Tulip at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Little Dog Barking Theatre returns in 2015 with a new adaptation of the chil-dren’s book, Guji Guji.

Fusing contemporary thea-tre with Toi Māori, waiata and dance come together in Ngunguru I Te Ao I Te Po, from Taki Rua Productions, in a high energy, exciting and physical performance while other Festival favourites, Java Dance, explore the magic beneath our feet in Dirt & Other Delicious Ingredients.

Capital E National Theatre for Children brings the much-celebrated An Awfully Big Adventure back to the Wel-lington stage, transporting audiences to WWI, where we learn of two young men and how their very diff erent sto-ries collide on Flanders Fields.• For more information and bookings for the Capital E National Arts Festival, visit www.capitale.org.nz, call 04 913 3740 or visit in person at Capital E Central, 4 Queens Wharf.

Dear Ed, Greater Wellington Regional Council is seeking community input on three bus options for Churton Park.

Under all three options no local bus stops will be lost and no resident will need to walk any further than now.

The number of bus routes serving Churton Park will be increased under all the op-tions proposed, not decreased as claimed. The current long one way loop bus route 54 is proposed to be replaced by two

separate bus routes covering the established and newly de-veloping areas of Churton Park ensuring bus access to the whole suburb is provided.

All options being consulted on have been designed to be affordable to the ratepayer whilst ensuring the bus service is ex-tended to cover more of Churton Park.

Kind regards, Philippa LaganGreater Wellington Regional Council

Dear Ed, We are a retired couple who live off Erlstoke Crescent and we use the bus frequently during the day. The proposals by GWRC will totally disadvantage us and we agree with Richard Taylor's comments.

We are very upset that the bus route up Erlstoke Crescent at off peak times will disappear under the new proposals and we are not happy at having to possibly change buses at Johnsonville to get to the city.

What is the need for a North-South Spine requirement?Sincerely,Roger & Carol Horton

T he new br idge bei ng built over the railway line in Johnsonville is almost complete following the two week demolition period of the old one.

Detours have been in place since late December and operations are running to deadline according to a con-tractor. Replacing the former bridge which was built in the 1930s, the new layout is set to reopen to traffic on Monday, January 12.

The new bridge will have three lanes when it is com-plete in mid-2015 and room for a fourth in the future if the local shopping centre is redeveloped.

Councillor Andy Foster says the new bridge is part of a wider project by the council and the New Zealand Trans-port Agency to make getting into and around Johnsonville easier.

“The bridge has a design-life of 100 years so has been

designed to cope with both existing demand and antici-pated growth in population and commercial activity in Johnsonvil le. We’ve also made sure there is enough room underneath should there ever be a second rail line at Johnsonville Station,” he says.

So far the project has not caused too much inconven-ience, with the demolition work mostly done while peo-ple were away on holiday. Residents the Independent Herald spoke to earlier this week were pleased work was almost complete.

The work to improve John-sonville roads began in late August and most of the activ-ity so far has been below the road next to the railway line and around the intersection of Moorefield and Broderick roads.

From mid-January, work is also expected to start in the Fraser Avenue area to create a second lane on the highway off-ramp.

Diploma of Artand Creativity

school of creativity and artsTHE LEARNING CONNEXION


By Jonty Dine, Whitireia journalism student

As the silly season draws to a close and the working masses head back to the grind, many will fi nd themselves pining for just one more week of freedom.

With the barbeque tucked away, the beach towels folded up and the back yard cricket sets back in the shed its time for another year of tedious toil.

Johnsonville business man Mark Kirk-Burnnand says it is defi antly the hardest time of year to get out of bed and go to work.

“Personally I stay in beach mode for at least a few days after returning to work, it can be very diffi cult for people to get back into routine,” Mark says.

“Hearing that alarm for the fi rst time after so long is never fun,” he says.

Clinical psychologist Paul McOnie says: “The back to work blues can cause mood swings, depression and irritability.”

“People can start to resent their workplace after an extended break and have little motivation,” Paul says.

With your body detoxing from ex-

cess amounts of booze and Christmas ham it’s never easy to reacclimatise your mind to the 9-5 work day.

Paul says by following a few simple steps your return to work can be met with far less stress.

-Acceptance: Admitting your holi-day is over is the fi rst step. It’s back to reality.

-Organise: Have your Clothes ready the night before, get a good night’s sleep, ensure your workspace is clean and tidy, be on time and bring a working attitude.

-Ease into it: Spend the fi rst day replying to emails, switching your screen saver to holiday photos and following the cricket test online.

-Exercise: Particularly for those desk jobs it is imperative to keep ac-tive. Make the most of the remaining summer sun.

-Take care of you: Have a gourmet lunch. Maintain that holiday tan. Catch up with colleagues at the water cooler.

-Plan: Your next holiday or week-end away. Give yourself something to look forward too.

Also remember its just 353 days until next Christmas!

Surviving the back to work blues

Few parents would describe having a child with Leukaemia as a “blessing” but Michael and Leila-nie Encarnado have a very special daughter – and her winning smile has been picked as the Independent Herald’s top photo for 2014.

Three-year-old Angel Lois Encar-nado from Karori was diagnosed with Leukaemia last year, and is a Child Cancer Foundation Ambas-sador for the Wellington region. She was chosen because of her very special personality.

Angel is well known with the nurses and doctors in both Christch-urch and Wellington Hospitals for her bubbly, cheerful personality, and her bravery.

Diagnosed on May 14 last year,

Leilanie says receiving the news was hard.

“Only thing running through my head was how many months left,” Leilanie says.

They had to go to Christchurch for nine weeks, and received great support from the hospital and the Child Cancer Foundation.

Angel is currently back home in Karori in the maintenance stage of her chemotherapy treatment.

Michael says the family gets its strength from Angel.

“We are blessed.”Angel is due to fi nish treatment

in July 2015, and her parents say it is nice to be seeing the end of the tunnel.

Another top story from 2014 followed a Christmas Day lunch that brought the community together.

Vicar Ben Johnson-Frow and members St John’s Angli-can Church put together the lunch for those who may not have family or community during the festive season, and this year about 50 people turned up.

“Christmas is a big celebra-tion for us and it’s really nice to invite people into it in a way that meets their needs.”

This was the second year a Christmas lunch had been provided by the church, and Ben says: “It’s basically a Kiwi Christmas. We’re think-ing, ‘What would we do for ourselves?’ and then sharing it with others.”

Food was donated and cooked by those in the church who are willing to help.

“One of the things we are re-learning as a church is that we have such great things going, and being able to really reach out and allow others to be part of it is amazing.”

One of the tops stories from 2014 focused on local residents who had had enough of the screeching Matangi trains – a problem that has been on going since they were introduced two years ago.

Countless complaints were made to both KiwiRail and the Greater Wellington Regional Council (GWRC) by members of the public, including Ngaio’s Robyn Radomski.

Robyn says she has been living in the same property for 36 years and there were no problems with the old trains -

“When the trains go past and we sit out in our garden, it is actually a conversation stop-per. It is that loud.”

Problems are particularly bad during the summer periods, and to date there have not been any overall improvement to the noise the trains are making.

“People are now getting fed up. I know when I emailed them feedback a couple of times, it’s not like it is being taken seriously,” she says.

Manager of rail operations at GWRC Angus Gabara believes there are genuine

progresses being made to solve this issue, but it is slow.

“Noise is being reduced signifi cantly in suitable condi-tions, including during winter, but performance is poor during adverse environmental condi-tions,” Angus says.

Angus also says the residents opinions defi nitely matter.

“We’re committed to fi nding a solution that will reduce wheel squeal noise on the Johnsonville line more con-sistently and effectively than we are achieving currently,” he says.

Food and good cheer

Taekwondo is a Korean martial art and at Karori Taekwondo Club they take it very seriously.

The sport combines combat and self-defence techniques with sport and exercise; and with more than 35 years’ experience between master instructors Mark Tester, Dave Merrall and David Mischefi sk, the place to be.

While training usually consists

of conditioning, fl exibility, spar-ring and self-defence techniques, the skills that are picked up help with breakthrough in areas including confi dence. It also pro-vides you with an understanding of how to defend yourself, if the situation arises.

Dave says the number one rule is safety, but people must not forget that this is a full contact

sport; people must also have discipline and be ready to learn.

At the moment, the club has about 50 members and is part of the New Zealand Taekwondo fraternity; and members range from school-aged children to teenagers and adults, with a few interesting connections includ-ing a father and son duo.

If you are interested in joining

Karori Taekwondo Club in 2015, email [email protected] for more information.

“Whether you are new to Taek-wondo or an old member of a club, we want to hear from you,” Dave says.

Activities resume on January 21 for senior members, and Feb-ruary 9 for those aged between four to seven-years-old.

Leaping Lizards is a dance studio based in three different locations around Wellington – Churton Park, Wellington central, and Northland – with classes taught by Lorna Borrett, an instructor who has been dancing since she was two.

classes to all ages and abilities. Over the years, Lorna has used

Classes offered at Leaping Lizards include adult jazz, adult

tap, body sculpt, children’s funk, children’s jazz, open intermediate-advanced jazz, pilates, Zumba, and Zumba for children.

15Wednesday January 7, 2015SPORT

By Jonty Dine, Whitireia journalism student

Brendon McCullum’s remarkable 2014 earnt him international praise and he has now been honored by the city that bore witness to his fi nest test innings.

Wellington Mayor Celia Wade-Brown presented Brendon with the ‘keys to the capital’ in recognition of his triple-century against India last year.

Brendon’s marathon innings lasted, 559 balls and helped the Black Caps salvage a draw from an impossible situation.

Mayor Wade-Brown says Brendon's achievement of the elusive triple cen-tury was well worth recognising.

“The Basin Reserve is a treasure for Wellington City, and is regarded

worldwide as a special test cricket venue,” she says.

“Cricket fans from the capital, around New Zealand and the world have witnessed many triumphs and dramatic moments, and Brendon’s magnifi cent innings ranks among the best of them.”

“Wellington's Basin Reserve is the ab-solutely positive home of New Zealand cricket so the triple century refl ected glory onto the capital,” she says.

Brendon’s heroics captured the pub-lic’s imagination and reignited its passion for test cricket.

The return of the Boxing Day test to Christchurch saw nearly 8000 fans pack Hagley Oval as the Black Caps scored an impressive victory over the touring Sri Lankans.

Brendon has made an inauspicious return to the Basin scoring a duck in

the fi rst innings and dropping a dolly of a catch at mid off.

Previous recipients of the keys to the city were Peter Jackson and Richard Taylor, for their unique contributions to the city.

“Peter and Richard's achievements in fi lm put Wellington on the map in the era of digital culture,” Mayor Wade-Brown says.

“Arts, science, business, sport, com-munity volunteering and environmental action are essential for a modern city and many people deserve recognition but the triple century was an extraor-dinary feat that drew attention globally and happened in Wellington,” she says.

The ceremonial key was produced by local manufacturers Te Mahi Limited using cast bronze and recycled New Zealand kauri.

McCullums key to success

One of the biggest annual children’s athletics events is happening this week-end and Ben Murdoch from Newlands College is raring to go.

The young go-getter from Churton Park is looking for a personal best in the high jump after he fi nished second at last month’s National Secondary Schools Championships.

Ben will be one of about 1200 children from 84 athletic clubs that are expected to compete in Wellington at Newtown Park over the weekend. Ninety-three competitors are from one club in the Northern Suburbs, the Olympic Harrier and Athletics Club – of which Ben is a member.

Chair of the organising committee, Rama Smith, says she is looking forward to top performances from Ben and sprinter Islam Khaled-Abbas, who is also a local athlete set to compete.

Islam, also from Newlands College, was part of the 4x100m Wellington Col-

lege team that took the title in the Junior Boys grade earlier this month.

He picked up a Nick Willis scholarship worth $500, for being the top performing athlete in his grade in 2014, running faster than both North Island and South Island competitors.

Islam could well top his age group again in his last Colgate Games, with him set to compete in the 100m, 200m, 400m – which he won the past two years – and in the long jump.

Athletics sport development manager Jo Murray is pleased with the high num-ber of Olympic entries and is looking for a good medal haul on the track as well as the fi eld.

The Colgate Games, in its 37th year, are also held in Dunedin the following weekend, for South Island competitors.

Ben and Islam will also be competing as entries are not restricted to competi-tors from the South Island.

A week into the New Year and already people are looking to when the next set of public holidays are – ready to escape the busy hectic back-to-work lifestyle.

Each year, the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment releases a list of dates and anniversary days that are celebrated around New Zealand. The fi rst is Wellington Anniversary Day on January 22, with a number of events planned around the city in the lead up to the public holiday.

Other dates that should be put into the

calendar include Waitangi Day which is celebrated on February 6 this year, followed by Good Friday and Easter Monday, and ANZAC Day on April 25 – this year seeing the celebration increase following 2014’s centenary celebrations.

Residents also get a day off come the Queen’s Birthday, this year falling on Monday, June 1. Labour Day then follows this on October 4, with Christmas Day and Boxing Day wrapping up the key dates for 2015.

The 2015 school terms dates for pri-

mary, intermediate, and secondary schools have also been laid out.

For primary and intermediate schools, term one starts on January 26, and fi nishes on April 2; term two begins on April 20 and runs through to July 3; term three will commence on July 20 and is due to fi nish on September 25.

The fi nal term will begin on October 12 and go through to no later than December 18.

For secondary schools the dates are similar.

Key dates - 2015

Each week, reporter Dan Whit� eld hits the streets to � nd out what’s going on around the Northern and Western suburbs, breaking news from Churton Park and John-sonville through to Karori and Wadestown. The reporter’s desk is where he shares what caught his eye over the past seven days.

No matter where you went or what you did, the fi rst week back at work after having a holiday was always going to be a little bit diffi cult. No matter how hard you try and prepare yourself, it’s still hard to readjust yourself back into that work routine.

I spent my holiday in Hamilton with the family; it was brilliant. Lazing around in the sun, eating

lots of food and spending time with my niece really made it special, however when it came time to leave I was ready. Now don’t get me wrong, I would have loved to stay and not come back to work just like everyone else, but I knew that I had to and I wanted to.

Arriving in Wellington at 6.30am Monday morning I was ready to work. I think it was because I knew what January had planned and I wanted to get on with things. I have weddings to go to, work to get on with, life to live. This all preoc-cupied my brain to keep me from slipping into that hole that makes it hard to get out of when it comes to returning to work.

There are people that go away and fi nd it really hard to come back to work, but I’m sort of glad that didn’t happen to me because it’s a distraction that limits your output when it comes to work or things that you have to do.

I can’t wait for the next holiday though. I’m really looking forward to it, and hopefully I can return to work just like I did this week.

What tips and tricks do you have to get over the holiday hangover? How do you get yourself out of bed and ready to work on that � rst day back? Email your opinions to [email protected].
