Faced with seismic assessments that did not meet cri- teria set by the Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of Aotearoa New Zealand, St Andrew’s in the City and St Mark’s on College St, Awapuni, are being vacated. In November, the separate Presbyterian parish of St David’s on Main St moved its Sunday services to the Lychway in Roy St. Although St David’s com- munity hall had been strengthened to 70 per cent of the New Building Standards code, the worship centre and sanctuary, originally built in 1913, was only at 39 per cent.

PAUL MITCHELL
They danced, they ate, they shared their cultures - and at least one of them wants to do it all again. Thousands of people gathered in Palmerston North’s Square on Saturday in an explosion of colour, music, dance and food for the Festival of Culture’s main course. New Zealand Arab Association (NZAA) North Island president Ahmad Al-Jiab said the event, which had been lit to life on Friday night with a lantern par- ade, was such a success it should run twice a year. ‘‘It’s a great and happy day. We’re all Kiwi but we still remem- ber our home countries, and we’re sharing with all ethnicities.’’ Many of the traditional costumes provided a bright splash Palmerston of colour against the cluster of North’s Pamanlahi white tents, housing 100 stalls, at Group performs Saturday’s food and craft market.

RICHARD MAYS
Te Manawa’s dinosaurs were a triumph. The Palmerston North museum’s chief executive Andy Lowe said 45,000 people visited the five-month long Dinosaur Encoun- ter exhibition from London’s Natural History Museum, many from beyond the region. The numbers queuing to see the nine animatronic dinosaurs and associated displays easily eclipsed the museum’s targets, while smashing the previous top rating exhibitions – last year’s Frida Kahlo, with 11,000, and 2007’s Da Vinci Machines, with 10,000 – out of the gallery. ‘‘We know from our own edu- cation and holiday programmes that dinosaurs are as popular with kids and families as they’ve ever been, but we’re still stunned by the numbers that have been through to see them,’’ Lowe said. It was the first, and so far only, showing of Dinosaur Encounter in the southern hemisphere. ‘‘Although it wasn’t a big show, the scale of the operation needed to bring these models from the A self portrait of Rembrandt from the Rembrandt Remastered exhibition at the Te Manawa art gallery.

But being in their seventies, it became too hard to juggle, and the Van Uffelen family collectively decided it was time to close. On the restaurant’s Facebook page Rob and Grietje said they ‘‘made the very tough decision to close the doors’’ after much deliberation. ‘‘At our age it was not easy to manage it all. ‘‘There comes a time where you have to do ‘‘What we're going to miss is probably the clientele’’ Lars Van Uffelen Van Uffelen Gallery and Picture Framing
what is right for you,’’ the post read. Son Lars and his wife Shannon Van Uffelen will still run Van Uffelen Gallery and Picture Framing next door, which is a separate business. The framing business had been on Princess St since the early 1990s and the restaurant used to be its workshop, Lars said. Once a new extension was built on behind the framing shop the Gallery cafe and restaurant was born. The fine-dining restaurant made sense because it catered to a lot of existing customers from the framing shop, Lars said. It held exhibitions and always had artists’ work on display which created a new look for the space every time the artwork was changed. Over such a long time the family had built relationships with many staff and customers, he said. ‘‘What we’re going to miss is probably the cli- entele. It’s what we connect with. ‘‘It’s not so much running the business it’s the people.’’ Shannon, Lars’ wife, had worked in the kitchen for half a decade after the restaurant first opened and remembered hundreds of weddings, proposals and birthday parties that had filled the rooms with joy. They had shared many fond moments with staff and customers and that was the sad part of the closure, Shannon said. Instead of selling the business they had chosen to simply close the restaurant on a high, she said. The Van Uffelens were not the type to go out with a ‘‘big hoo ha’’, they simply planned a quiet drink with staff. ‘‘We just want to peacefully shut the doors.’’

RICHARD MAYS
Every year since 2012, 11 photographers with Manawatu connections have contributed to a themed photographic exhibition in Square Edge. The brainchild of Manawatu Standard photographer Warwick Smith, membership of the group known as Eleven has changed a little, and some now live else- where, but have developed a strong tradition of contributing to an exhibition at around this time each year. ‘‘Eleven is a good number to build an exhibition around,’’ Smith said. ‘‘Each photographer has a metre width of space, plus the height of the wall to exhibit an image, or it could be multiple images, based on the theme.’’ Among the featured photographers are Smith’s media colleagues David Unwin and Carly Thomas, and UCOL pho- tography lecturer Ian Rotherham. This year, the exhibition called The Space Between lends itself to wide interpretation. ‘‘It’s a reaction to last year’s ’What’s with the Apple?’, which seemed quite defined. This loosens things up completely, and has resulted in a huge range of work from a lot of different angles that shows just what photography A brother and sister in a Rohingya Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camp near Sittwe in Rakhine State, Myanmar (Burma).
