Kia ora Tāmaki Makaurau. Saturday is International Observe the Moon Night and to mark the occasion, a historic telescope used during some of the first human missions to the moon will be open to the public at Auckland's Stardome Observatory and Planetarium (670 Manukau Road, Epsom).

The EWB Zeiss telescope was used to manually track Apollo missions when Houston didn't have radio contact with its spacecraft and astronauts.

The public are invited to use the telescope to view the moon on Saturday until 10.30pm at the stardome at 670 Manukau Road, Epsom.

“It will be five days after the new moon, so looking up from the Southern Hemisphere, we will easily be able locate the various maria, or seas, on the eastern half of the near-side of the moon. These are the Sea of Serenity, Sea of Tranquillity, Sea of Crises, Sea of Fecundity, and Sea of Nectar,” Stardome telescope operator Daley Panthagani said.

Entry costs $2 per adult and $1 per child. The Stardome will also be putting on educational shows about the moon for additional fees. For more info visit www.stardome.org.nz...

Rubbish

Lorna from Papatoetoe

Today I saw a White Station wagon belonging to a Cleaning Company (the car was advertising the company but I am not allowed to name them on Here) stop outside my Neighbours House and dumped 2 Black Sacs of rubbish on the berm and drove off.

I rang the company number on the car to report it and they pleaded with me not to report it to the Council once I told them I had it on CCTV. This is not good enough when we all use our Wheelie Bins for our rubbish. If you would like the name of the company so you can be aware of their practice please PM me and I will be happy to give it to you.

When Paris was in high school she admits she wasn’t the best student or daughter to her teachers or family. She was selected alongside 11 other students to participate in our Project K programme.

"I got a bit nervous because this wasn’t my crowd but I ended up becoming really good friends with them and ended up becoming an unspoken leader, like a leader but without being told that I was the leader...

“I’d never been put in a leadership position before so for that to happen to me I thought it was kind of breath-taking to be honest.”

Invest in a child’s future and help, Kiwi kids like Paris’ overcome life’s obstacles. Please, donate through the link below.

Six of our NZQA Diploma Cookery students signed up for the New Zealand Hospitality Championships – previously known as the Culinary Fare run by the New Zealand Chefs Association at the recent Hospitality Hui held on on September 19, 2022.

Planning took place over the previous six weeks where the students formulated their dish concepts. Practical cooking sessions enabled them to test and try out their culinary ideas and refine their dishes.

These efforts were boosted by the reflections of our Head Chef Finn Gybel and his stories of when he had competed in Denmark nearly 20 years ago. Back then, our Chef Finn was sous chef to René Redzepi, now rated as one of the great chefs of the world.

As a result, we won 1 Gold, 2 Silver and 2 Bronze medals.
