Why I love Upper HuttPaul LambertUpper Hutt City Council, Business Liaison Manager (formerly City Promotion Manager)

Paul came to New Zealand in 1977 from South London and settled in Korokoro, Petone with his Kiwi wife Stephanie. He joined Upper Hutt City Council in 1995 as City Promotion Manager based at the Upper Hutt i-SITE visitor Centre. Liking what he found in the upper valley, he moved to live in Birchville in 1997. Before joining UHCC Paul worked for Wellington City Council including several years at the Wellington Zoo as Marketing Co-ordinator. He says the relationship developed with Staglands Wildlife Reserve, one of Upper Hutt’s major visitor attractions has been very rewarding following on from his time at the Zoo. When moving from Lower Hutt to Upper Hutt he transferred his membership from

Petone Lions Club to the Rimutaka Lions Club and says a very important strength of Upper Hutt is the voluntary contribution of so many people to the wider community. He recently undertook university studies for the first time and last Christmas completed a two year graduate Diploma in Economic Development. This was done extramurally through AUT. His current role is Business Liaison Manager.

Why I love Upper HuttPaul says: A good balance of urban and rural environment presents a wide range of leisure opportunities – from a bushwalk in the local parks, through to a visit to Expressions Arts and Entertainment Centre with international standard, shows all without having to drive into Wellington! I look forward to my swim at H2Oxtream most weekdays before work. My dominant leisure activity is listening to music and that is well satisfied – after all, Wayne

Mason wrote “Nature” here in Upper Hutt.

My favourite place to shop

Paul says: Seeking out music books and magazines takes me into Paper Plus, Whitcoulls and J & N Gifts and Hobbies frequently. We are lucky to have such a choice of quality shops here, all stocking an excellent range.

Favourite place to eatPaul says: My work role takes me to many of our dining venues. Upper Hutt is well supplied with a range of dinining opportunities which means you can find somewhere for most tastes. “Call into the i-SITE for a free brochure with all the cafes and restaurants listed and work your way through them,” he says.

Favourite place to take visitorsPaul says: Staglands Wildlife Reserve has always held a special place in his

heart and no matter whow many times he visits he still enjoys it. Nearby Efil Doog, and Silver Stream Railway Museum are also favourites.

Favourite thing to do with family/friends

Paul says: Harcourt Park events. “I try and get to them all,” he says. “The music concerts and the joust-ing in the perfect Harcourt Park setting – there is nothing like it.”

“No, no,” cried a woman from the VIP seats and brought them a rug. “You guys don’t sit on the ground.”He recalled the reaction of the owner of a beautiful old property, a total write-off, when he

managed to bring out two small watercolours and a painting no bigger than his hand. They were family heirlooms. The couple would probably have nothing else left. Wow! What a hug.“It was the little things like that, the people’s reactions, that told us we were doing good.”

‘You guys don’t sit on the ground’

“We had to get them in (staff), keep them safe in the building, then get them out inside the time period.

Compared to his first deployment on February 23, the day after the quake, he found people much more resilient.

Running out of time to access material, they were quick to prioritise and take only the really important stuff.

On the team’s second last day, they met with the urban search and rescue teams operating on the ground, and walked en masse, a 150-strong group to the memorial service at North Hagley Park , where they were given a standing ovation. It was pretty awesome, “Humbling, really humbling.

“There were people whom we had never met, standing up

and showing appreciation of what we were doing. That’s when a lot of us knew it was really important coming down and doing this, because it was really important to them.

Chris believes there will an ongoing need for engineering support services for a considerable time

With the benefit of a peaceful night’s sleep behind him in his own bed last weerkend, he believes most people to whom he has talked cannot envisage the side of the problem area.

“It’s just so unreal when you look at the size of the CBD, Take all the size of Hagley Park, that‘s about the size of the CBD. Unreal. Photos can’t describe just how big it is.”

It was given that added reality this time by their to and fro transport by RNZAF Hercules.

Chris Lapslie became involved in search and rescue when working as a carpenter at Victoria University, and it’s been that skill which is often required, the ability to “penetrate a building’s perimeter at it’s weakest point.”

Other members of the team are plumbers, or fitters and turners, and able to weld. These skills have been invaluable in this situation.

Chris lives just north of the Upper Hutt CBD and drives to and from his job with airport security each day, with the “nature of the work that I do, I’ve got to have my own transport.”

At any time the cell phone may ring and NZRT9, the official national designation for the Upper Hutt team, is off again, somewhere.

Right: Been there, Done that, earned the tee shirt – Chris Lapslie in the tribute tee shirt struck for those who united to support and rebuild Christchurch.

Kia Kaha!

Life skills are what count for search and rescue teamContinued from Page 1

The Rotary Club of Upper Hutt asks all Upper Hutt businesses; do you have staff that, “have what it takes” to achieve a Pride of Workmanship Award”? Instigated in 1975 by the Rotary Club of Pennant Hills, this is the 13th year the Rotary Club of Upper Hutt has participated. The Pride of Workmanship Program enables companies or business organisations to help employees achieve the goal of job satisfaction, and publicly recognise them for their efforts.Objectives are to • promote Vocational Service.

• encourage Pride of Workmanship in all vocations.

• provide employers with an

opportunity to recognise employees

• encourage favourable e m p l o y e r / e m p l o y e e relationships

• build a sense of community pride in individual achievement

• provide an opportunity for Rotary to be involved particularly in the business community

In previous years the club has relied on mail lists to contact businesses inviting them to participate by nominating staff that they think fit the criteria. We believe that “Pride of Workmanship” – the sense of responsibility in doing well (Do

it once – Do it well) is “still one of the greatest intangible assets in our community,” said programme leader Dave Mulligan.”We also believe that it is important to give recognition to individuals who go that bit further to ensure that the job gets done.”Businesses may nominate an employee, who displays the qualities worthy of such an award. The successful nominees will receive their awards at a presentation dinner to be held at Te Marua Golf Club, at 6pm on Monday, May 23..Nominations should be made the The POW Committee c/o [email protected] or posted to “Pride of Workmanship Awards, PO Box 40131 Upper Hutt” by Monday, April 15.

Bakery where everything is gluten-freeBy MARY-ANNE THOMSON

When customers walk into Upper Hutt’s newest bakery – Ancient Grains – they can’t believe everything is gluten free.

�When confronted with an array of freshly baked sweet treats like lamingtons, chocolate fudge, chocolate éclairs, ginger crunch, chocolate muffins and fruit cake as well as home made pies, quiches, sandwiches and speciality loaves, they always ask which ones are gluten free,� says owner and baker Lee Hamilton.

“When I say everything, they can’t believe it.” she says. “It is a bit like heaven for those on a gluten and wheat free diet.

“Many customers have commented that they feel like a child in a sweet shop.”

Upper Hutt born and bred, Lee says she has always had a love of cooking and experimenting with food.

Three years ago when she had to start eating gluten free, she felt

like her throat had been cut – there wasn’t much she could buy which was fresh and tasty.

She experimented with different flours to make bread and cakes, did extensive research and after many disasters, she came up with her own flour mix, which she said made a “magic cake”.

That was the point she decided, “I can do something with this to help others.”

So Lee, with the support of husband Murray, decided to open her own bakery in her home town. While she says she could have had a bigger client base out of Upper Hutt, she is a true Upper Hutt girl so wanted to help her own town.

Ancient Grains, a dedicated gluten and wheat free manufacturer, is now open at 687a Fergusson Drive (next to the Tiki Dairy on the Whakatiki Street corner).

Lee hand mixes all her own flours so they are just right for her array of different recipes.

Having only been open two weeks

she has already established a core clientele of coeliac customers and those on gluten and wheat-free diets who are enjoying being able to walk into a bakery and buy lunch or even a salad or pie for dinner.

Her raspberry and chocolate lamingtons sell out every day, as do her selection of homemade meat pies. Lee prides herself on her pies saying that she ensures they are all made with her own old fashioned home made stocks which are full of flavour and have generous helpings of meat in them.

Lee and Murray personally shop for all ingredients in every item they make so they can be sure they are gluten free. Some items are also dairy free (including her meat pies) and once she has established her gluten free business a little more, Lee intends to offer more dairy free products as well as low sugar products.

But for now Lee wants to focus on her core business of having special and tasty foods for those on a wheat free diet.

There are light options like ham, chicken and salami salads, which come complete with dressings and knife and fork and contain no wheat products.

As well Lee makes mini quiches like leek and potato and spinach and feta, which are also great for vegetarians.

There is also a selection of homemade fresh sandwiches and wraps made with gluten free bread and wraps.

Lee also sells her homemade gluten free whole cakes, fruit cake slices, muesli and pickles.

“I really strive to have food which doesn’t look or taste like its gluten free – I know from experience that so many of the products available are awful. I want to make really tasty food that people can enjoy,” Lee says.

She also has foods across a range of prices. “Having to eat a special diet is not geared by the depth of your pocket. And it can be really

expensive,” she says. “So I have a range of prices from basic items to more high end specialty items so that people can find products to suit them,” she says.

Lee doesn’t bake her own bread but she has applied extensive research to track down what she considers to be the best gluten free bread available in the country.

Dunedin’s Lievito Bakery won a national baking award for their gluten free bread and Lee has fresh loaves available on Wednesdays and Fridays.

These include French sticks (which are hard to get gluten free), pizza bases, foccacia, garlic loaves and other speciality breads like Maize and Tapioca.

On Tuesdays bread comes in fresh from Shannon’s Thoroughbread Bakery.

These loaves come in a variety of flavours and are all made from hand ground brown rice – according to Lee they are the equivalent of a gluten free brown bread.

Customers can buy fresh bread on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays and are welcome to place orders ahead of time to be sure they get what they want.

As well Lee has frozen bread from both bakeries available everyday and can explain how to thaw it for best results.

As well as wanting to move into more low sugar and dairy free products in the future, Lee has plans to sell coffee and supply gluten free products to local cafes and lunches to schools and businesses. “I will welcome any enquiry,” she says.

Ancient Grains is currently open Monday to Friday 8am-4pm and Saturdays 8am to 1pm. These are trial hours and may vary once Lee works out what hours suit her customers best.

“I am so glad to be able to be here cooking tasty food for those on a gluten free diet – I am having so much fun seeing the enjoyment on people’s faces,” Lee says.

“Thanks to my marvellous husband Murray for his support and to the local trades people – MHL Electrical, Primo Plumbing and Thorners Builders – who worked hard with me on the fit out to help me achieve my vision,” Lee says.

All the products pictured with new Ancient Grains baker Lee Hamilton are not only tasty but gluten-free.

A dog walk will be held at Tunnel Gully on Sunday April 10 to raise money for animals that were affected by the Christchurch earthquake.It will cost just $5 to join in and all funds will go to the Christchurch SPCA.“We have heard stories of many animals being hurt lost or separated from their owners,” says Paws and Claws’s Denise Honey.“We know that Christchurch SPCA are on the spot and doing great work so we want to be able to do as much as we can for the animals,” she says.Paws and Claws and Maidstone Vets have already donated $500 to Christchurch SPCA raised through raffles and donations. “There is no point in hoarding it until later,” Denise says.“We are sending it as soon as we can so it will be available to help animals.”The dog walk offers not only a fun social outing for dogs – “all dogs on leads please” says Denise, but the chance to help others.There will be great spot prizes including large bags of pet food, a dog waterer and more.Anyone wanting to register or get more information can call into Paws and Claws or phone 5285548.

By MARY-ANNE THOMSONHayley Furjes, 3, (below) was one of around 50 Cottle Kindergarten children who celebrated the 11th anniversary of Children’s Day in New Zealand with a trike-a-thon recently.

The children decorated their bikes, trikes and scooters and rode around a course of orange cones under the watchful eye of Constable Lou Diamond, who started the event and made sure they rode safely around the course.

Every child received a certificate, medal and a goodie bag with fun activities from the national Children’s Day organisation and the Healthy Heart programme.

Teachers say they were delighted to be able to hold a special event to celebrate children and encourage families to share fun times together.

Children’s Day is a national non-commercial day to celebrate how special children are. This year’s theme was ‘love and affection’. Children’s Day is celebrated around the world and dates back to the 1920’s.

By MARY-ANNE THOMSONMore than 100 people had their hair cut at a local hardware store recently….Sounds unlikely – but it’s true.What’s more $2273.40 was raised in the process to help victims of the Christchurch earth quake.A large area at Mitre 10 Mega was transformed into six hairdressing stations and stylists from four local salons, Shoops Hair and Beauty, Charmaines on Royal, Niro Hair and Beauty and Zazu Hairdressing banded together to cut hair for five hours.The hair cuts cost just $20 and stylists were run off their feet all day as people just kept coming and coming.“It was an amazing effort and a great show of support from our community,” organizer Shoops Char Dixon says…...  “And we all

thoroughly enjoyed ourselves,” she says.Those involved were Char Dixon from Shoops, Charmaine, Wayne and Lilly from Charmaines on Royal, Bruce, Marie, Andrea, Dine, Jo and Krystle from Niro Hair, Erin from Zazu Hair.“It was all so easy to organise thanks to the help of other organizations like Mitre 10 Mega, Dzine Signs and the Upper Hutt Star,” Char says.“At Mega mitre 10  Paul  and his fantastic team, especially, Ata, Glen and  Karen, who were so accommodating all day long!,” she says.“Dzign signs Steve and the boys, provided great signs for us with fantastic artwork from Brenda.“The Upper Hutt Star, ran an amazing ad for us, what a great community news paper!“And of course the upper Hutt community for a great show of support on the day.“We are a small group of people and can only do what we can do – but it was great that as hairdressers who are usually in competition with each other, we could band together and enjoy each others company and raise funds together for a good cause.“I am proud of the amount that we raised.The money has been donated to the Red Cross Earthquake appeal.

By MARY-ANNE THOMSONFrom 8.30 to 9.30pm on Saturday (March 26), millions of people around the globe will switch off lights and appliances for Earth Hour. Upper Hutt City Council is encouraging locals to get involved as part of a campaign to raise awareness on action against climate change.As well, there will be a special event before Earth Hour on Saturday so locals can learn about energy efficiency.A Healthy Homes, Happy Pockets Earth Hour special will run on Saturday from 2-4pm at the Upper Hutt City Library.Speakers will help attendees learn about energy efficiency and how they can make changes in daily life that will reduce energy bills and look after the environment at the same time. Sarah from the Home Energy Advice Centre will talk about all the little tricks to keep homes warm and dry, and Henry and Caroline from the Energy Efficiency Conservation Authority will discuss “Warm Up New Zealand” and funding that may be available to help with heating and insulation. To register contacting Upper Hutt City Library on 5272117 or [email protected] A home sustainability info pack will be available for all attendees! Everyone who registers also goes in the draw to win prizes.Earth Hour started in 2007 in Sydney, when 2.2 million individuals and more than 2,000 businesses turned their lights off for one hour to take a stand against climate change. Only a year later, Earth Hour had become a global sustainability movement with more than 50 million people across 35 countries/territories participating. Global landmarks such as the Sydney Harbour Bridge, CN Tower in Toronto, Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, and Rome’s Colosseum, all stood in darkness, as symbols of hope for a cause that grows more urgent by the hour.In March 2009, hundreds of millions of people took part in the third Earth Hour. Over 4000 cities in 88 countries/territories officially switched off to pledge their support for the planet, making Earth Hour 2009 the world’s largest global climate change initiative.

Earth Hour 2010 became the biggest Earth Hour ever. A record 128 countries and territories joined the global display of climate action. Iconic buildings and landmarks from Asia Pacific to Europe and Africa to the Americas switched off. People across the world from all walks of life turned off their lights and came together in celebration and contemplation of the one thing we all have in common – our planet.Earth Hour 2011 will take place on Saturday March 26 at 8.30PM (local time). “This Earth Hour we want you to go beyond the hour, so after the lights go back on think about what else you can do to make a difference. Together our actions add up,” says Upper Hutt City Council’s Lillian Fougere.

AcneWhat is it? Acne is most prevalent during

adolescence, when hormonal changes

increase the skin’s production of sebum.

However, pregnancy and menopause can

also trigger the condition. It is aggravated

by constipation, fluctuating blood sugar

levels, nervous upsets, the pill, lack of

sunlight and exercise, poor hygiene and

some cosmetics. In addition, the British

Journal of Dermatology has reported

that the average age of acne patients is

increasing – up from 20 years old in 1984

to 26 in 2005 – and the main culprit is

considered to be diet. Processed foods

are nutritional wastelands that lead to

physical imbalances in our skin.

Natural treatments:

1 Switch to a vegetable-dense diet.

Broccoli, onions, nuts, seeds,

watercress and apples are all good for

clearing acne. Minimise your intake

General dos and don’tsDo take vitamins A, C and E to improve collagen synthesis, and

coenzyme Q10 and zinc to counter free radicals that damage skin.

Do try skin treatments based on Dead Sea salts. They contain 21

minerals, including skin-soothing magnesium, to fight inflammation and puffiness.

Do drink eight 200ml glasses of water daily to keep your skin properly hydrated.

Also drink green tea for its detoxifying action.

Don’t use petroleum jelly (it prevents the skin from breathing), mineral oil

(which dries skin and destroys normal moisture barriers), talcum powder (it’s a

known carcinogen), artificial colours (made from coal tar, which is an irritant), or

parabens (another carcinogenic toxin).

of dairy products, refined sugars,

alcohol and processed carbohydrates.

2 A plant-based nutritional supplement

made from ‘green’ ingredients like

spirulina and alfalfa is recommended,

as is evening primrose oil. This

contains GLA, which prevents the

conversion of testosterone – which

women do have in small amounts –

into dihydrotestosterone, which is

involved in causing acne.

3 Drink herbal teas. Red clover is known

to balance the sex hormones, and

burdock reduces blood sugar levels

and is anti-microbial.

4 Try a drop of tea tree oil to discourage

infection and apply a small amount

of aloe vera gel to speed healing.

Another easy home remedy is 1

teaspoon of Epsom salts, 4 drops

of lavender oil and ¼ cup of boiling

water. Soak a disposable pad in the

solution and press it on your pimples.

When the pad cools, repeat with

another one. Do this 2-3 times.

5 Keep your skin clean and avoid using

abrasive granulated cleansers and

harsh face flannels.

6 Acne-fighting foods include acai,

avocado, beetroot, blueberries, fish,

garlic, green tea, kale, nuts, parsley

and spinach.

5 Don’t scratch! Keep your fingernails

short and wear thin cotton gloves

to bed at night. Wash in lukewarm

water. Take up yoga or meditation –

as stress worsens eczema, relaxation

techniques can work wonders.

AcneWhat is it? Acne is most prevalent during

adolescence, when hormonal changes

increase the skin’s production of sebum.

However, pregnancy and menopause can

also trigger the condition. It is aggravated

by constipation, fluctuating blood sugar

levels, nervous upsets, the pill, lack of

sunlight and exercise, poor hygiene and

some cosmetics. In addition, the British

Journal of Dermatology has reported

that the average age of acne patients is

increasing – up from 20 years old in 1984

to 26 in 2005 – and the main culprit is

considered to be diet. Processed foods

are nutritional wastelands that lead to

World Down Syndrome Day was celebrated in Upper Hutt on Sunday (March 20) with a sponsored family fun walk at Harcourt Park. Walking any distance can be challenging for many people living with Down syndrome and the 1km walk was designed to give these special individuals a chance to walk alongside their families and friends in a safe environment.

A barbecue and fun day with bouncy castle, face painting, motorbikes and trucks to look at, toys from the Upper Hutt Toy Library to play with, along with plenty of food, followed.

  Allcomers – those with Down syndrome and those who do not have it - were welcome to participate in the Buddy Walk - its purpose was three-fold: to bring families together, promote awareness of Down syndrome within the wider community by celebrating these people through a fully joint event and assist in raising funds for the WDSA who in turn provide support and information for families

“Statistically approximately 1 in 700 live births throughout the world, male

and female alike are affected by Down syndrome,” says WDSA treasurer Kate Young.” It crosses gender, race and socio-economic level and is the most frequently occurring chromosomal abnormality. However people living with Down syndrome have their own gifts and live very full lives with community help and support,” she says.

“It was pleasing to have a number of business support our

A collaborative sausage sizzle from Mayfair Café and Export Meats raised $186 for Christchurch Earthquake Relief.Money from the sausage sizzle was placed in large plastic bottles (like a money box) so that people could see the donations growing during the two hours of the sizzle.The plastic bottles will be on the counter at Mayfair Café for another week or so for anyone who would like to make a donation.

Esquires Coffee House reports their customers have been very generous in the past week with donations to their Christchurch Earthquake relief fund. “We are humbled by the way people are realising how lucky we are here and giving to help those less fortunate than themselves,” an employee says.

And again at Pak N Save, a check out operator reports that more than one customer has come in and bought $100 worth of tinned food to donate to Canterbury. “It is great to see people helping people,” she says.April holiday programme.

By MARY-ANNE THOMSONA very successful Great Outdoors summer prog-ramme has just two weeks left to run with Wellington Regional Council reporting that Upper Hutt events have been well patronised with many fully booked.

Events such as a 4WD trip up Mount Climie last Sunday (March 20) and a nightime glow worm grotto tour at Tunnel Gully were fully booked and much higher than anticipated turnouts have characterised other Upper Hutt based events which have included buggy walks through regional parks and the chance to fly fish, go in a glider and try BMX biking.

“The promotion through the Upper Hutt Star has certainly been responsible,” a council spokesperson has said.

“Most people have said they read about the events in the Star.”

“We have such amazing recreational resources available in the region, many of them in the Upper

Hutt area. The aim of the programme has been to give locals the opportunity to experience them.

“Most events are escorted and all people have to do is turn up – its so easy,” she says.

“The Mt Climie trip is a perfect example of that. It offers those who physically can’t reach the top of their local mountain the chance to go up and experience views of the Hutt Valley, Wellington, Wairarapa and even further afield on a good day – like this Sunday was,” she said.

“They often tell others who return independently,” she says.

“Sunday’s trip up Mt Climie was in perfect weather conditions, with the views as good as you could get. It was fully booked with a huge waiting list. Rangers took young children through to very elderly up and all ages in between,” she says.

This weekend sees some of the last events of the programme. On Saturday the Hutt Valley Deerstalkers

Association are having an Open Day at their target range. Those over seven years old will be able to have a go at target shooting under the guidance of qualified people. Fees apply.

On Sunday a Rimutaka Rail Trail walk will run. Participats walk the 17km five hour scenic walk through the old railway track route to Featherston. Have afternoon tea at the Fell Engine Museum and them bus back to Upper Hutt. This event is fully booked, but there is a waiting list.

On Saturday April 2 a walk

has been organised up the little known Norbett’s Creek tramping track.  Walkers will traverse the hillside track through bush onto the access road into the Hutt Water Collection area.  There are views of the Kaitoke basin, Hutt Valley and Cook Strait. It includes a wet foot crossing and good fitness is required. No charge but bookings are required.

On Sunday April 3 there is an Akatarawa Forest 4WD Back Country Adventure. Locals with 4WD vehicles are offered the chance to take their vehicle for a Cross-Country

Vehicle Club tagalong trip through Akatarawa Forest.

The morning session departs from Totara Park, finishing at Maungakotukutuku Valley entrance. It starts at 9.00am and goes until 12.00noon.  The afternoon session is in reverse and begins at 1.30pm and goes through to 4.30pm. Charges apply and booking is required.

Anyone wanting information about the events or to book or go on a waiting list for the Rail Trail walk can phone the bookings officer on 830 4041.

Locals have taken chances to get outdoors

Squeaks,creaks and groans...

If these are coming from your body we can’t cure you, but if they’re from your bike we can help! One broken spoke creates more, loose cones left unchecked can mean new hubs...so get those noises checked now! A stitch in time can save you a walk out of the bush....
