COLUMBIA CITY ŌĆö Speaking on behalf of all the bus drivers in Whitley County Consolidated Schools, Transportation Director Keith Kohut said the more than 750,000 miles traveled each year plays a major role in student success.
ŌĆ£As an extension of the classroom, our drivers set an example for students,ŌĆØ said Kohut. ŌĆ£In most cases, our drivers are the first school representative to greet the students and parents of students who ride the bus in the morning. A simple ŌĆśhelloŌĆÖ goes a long way to helping our students start the day on a positive note.
COLUMBIA CITY ŌĆö Unemployment numbers for October are in ŌĆö with Whitley County seeing a new low of 6.8 percent.
ŌĆ£This is pretty significant,ŌĆØ said Whitley County Economic Development Corporation (EDC) President Alan Tio. ŌĆ£From what I understand, this is the lowest weŌĆÖve seen in nearly four years.ŌĆØ
According to the EDC, employment for Whitley County was down 7.6 percent in September of this year, making a difference of nearly one percent.
ŌĆ£A one percent difference is a couple hundred people,ŌĆØ said Tio.
COLUMBIA CITY ŌĆö Like iconic images captured by Norman Rockwell, families will gather today around dinner tables across the nation.
Turkey day traditions that span generations include holiday services, school programs as well as homemade food dishes and desserts.
In the United States, the first Thanksgiving wasnŌĆÖt held around any elaborate dining room furniture or served on bone china.
In 1621, a celebration at Plymouth, now in present-day Massachusetts, was held to celebrate a bountiful harvest.
COLUMBIA CITY ŌĆō Although relatives can wear on nerves during holiday gatherings, "family" was the dominant answer in the most recent results from The Post & Mail's online poll.
When asked to complete the question, "Thanksgiving is a time for . . ." 51 percent of respondents chose "family," 34 percent chose "feeling grateful," 9 percent chose "food" and 6 percent chose "football."
You can participate in this week's online poll by going to the home page of www.thepostandmail.com and finding the poll question on the right side of the page.
SOUTH WHITLEY ŌĆö Markers were handed out and people were encouraged to write on the walls of the meeting room in South Whitley Tuesday, located next to the Town Hall.
The South Whitley Plan Com-mission held a brainstorming session for residents to write down suggestions on ways the town could improve.
Anna Simmons, plan commission president, said, ŌĆ£We did this at our last meeting and we got some great ideas. I hope to have more meetings in the future to determine the priority of each suggestion in the different categories.ŌĆØ
PIERCETON ŌĆö Whitko Community School students will have a weekly delay of 30 minutes each Wednesday starting in January.
Superintendent Steve Clason petitioned the Board of Trustees for Whitko Community School Corporation to approve the delay to allow for professional training for teachers.
ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖre not leading this change, we are following it,ŌĆØ said Clason. ŌĆ£The state says we have to offer so much time for development and this seems to be the most cost effective way to do it.ŌĆØ
COLUMBIA CITY ŌĆö With reindeer, lights and the sounds of Christmas, Santa will be ushered to his house on the Courthouse Square Friday night.
The City of Columbia City and the Downtown Business Association, along with The Clugston on the Square, will present a lighted Christmas parade Friday at 6 p.m.
This is the first parade of its kind in Columbia City in recent memory.
Once Santa reaches the Courthouse, a holiday lighting ceremony will initiate the holiday season as Santa begins entertaining children.
COLUMBIA CITY ŌĆö Neon green and yellow colored playground equipment is scheduled to fill the recently empty spot where the old playground at Morsches Park once stood. The Columbia City Parks Department tore the old playground down last week.
ŌĆ£I think the kids are going to love it, and it will be good for all ages,ŌĆØ said Columbia City Park Director Mark Green. ŌĆ£There will be a swing set area, a large teeter totter you can stand on and the slides should be a little taller than what we had.ŌĆØ
COLUMBIA CITY ŌĆö The Whitley County Consolidated Schools Board of School Trustees is preparing to implement internet safety policies to better protect its students.
According to WCCS Superintendent Dr. Pat OŌĆÖConnor, the ChildrenŌĆÖs Internet Protection Act (CIPA) was amended last fall and now requires school corporations to provide age appropriate curriculum concerning proper online behavior.
ŌĆ£This includes interacting with others on social networking sites, in chat rooms and cyberbullying awareness,ŌĆØ explained Dr. OŌĆÖConnor.

The speaker is Samuel Dalembert, Philadelphia 76ers center. The subject is his beloved and devastated home country of Haiti. The tone of voice is determined.
"I know that I'm not going to be able to save the whole country by myself," Dalembert says. "I know that I can make a difference in my way. If I feel like I'm not doing my best in my power and utilizing all the resources I have in my hands, I feel like I've failed. I know I'm not going to be able to help every single person back home, but I'm going to help a lot of them."
The speaker is Caryl Stern, president of UNICEF. The subject is Dalembert. The tone of voice is momentarily swooning.
"Oh, I love him," Stern says. "I love him."
Stern can turn solemn as she recounts stories of a child showing up at a UNICEF camp in Haiti, curling up in the fetal position and screaming for hours before finally revealing that he had watched both of his parents die in the earthquake; or the staff driver whose wife, son and daughter all died of earthquake-related injuries but who continued working, saying "I can't bring them back; I can only save lives."
But her voice turns giddy when she speaks about Dalembert.
"He has been an ardent supporter of Haiti [for years]," she says. "He has called upon us on numerous occasions to see what we're doing and how he can help."
The speaker is Olden Polynice, native of Haiti and former NBA player. The subject is Dalembert and Alonzo Mourning and Dwyane Wade and Chris Paul and all the other NBA players who came forward to offer help to Haiti after a magnitude 7.0 earthquake wreaked havoc on the country. The tone is grateful.
"I'm very appreciative, and I'm sure the people of Haiti are, as well," Polynice says. "The guys have done an incredible job of stepping up. You hear all the negative. In this time of pain and misery, these guys have stepped up."
The speaker is Carlos Boozer, Utah Jazz forward. The subject is his peers. The tone is part defensive, part proud.
"People have a perception of the NBA as a bunch of thugs or whatever," Boozer says. "That's not true. We have guys that have big hearts that want to help out in times of need, that are good guys. Not all of us have friends from Haiti, not all of us are Haitian like Samuel Dalembert. We saw a group of people, a country in need."
The common sound audible in all of the voices was hope. Not one sounded defeated by the overwhelming circumstances in Haiti. No one seemed daunted by the task at hand. And none seemed to mind the additional duty that comes with this assignment because in their efforts to rebuild a country, they just happen to be renovating the reputation of a league.
The NBA isn't the only league that's susceptible to scandal; it just seems to be the league where the scandals stick, where bad reputations are gained quickly and shed slowly. And as sports media coverage veers toward an increasingly tabloid tone, along came the Gilbert Gun Scandal to feed right into it.
But what we saw in response to the Haiti earthquake was the best side of the NBA. There was more than the expected mobilization by the people whose job descriptions entail it, such as Kathy Behrens, NBA executive vice president, social responsibility and player programs. Players took to Twitter to spread the word and give suggestions on how to donate funds via text-message donations. There also were player-sponsored initiatives, such as the Athletes Relief Fund for Haiti set up by Wade and recently retired Mourning.
That's how Boozer came into the network. An hour after he first learned of the tragedy, he got a call from Mourning, who was seeking donations that would benefit Project Medishare, an organization founded by two University of Miami doctors that has provided health care for Haitians since 1994. Boozer chipped in $10,000, and Mourning and Wade were quickly on their way to raising $800,000.
People have a perception of the NBA as a bunch of thugs or whatever. That's not true. We have guys that have big hearts that want to help out in times of need, that are good guys.
"-- Jazz forward Carlos Boozer
There's a new generation coming of age in the NBA, symbolized by LeBron James' becoming the first 1980s-born player to win the Most Valuable Player award, and 28-year-old Boozer says, "As we all do mature, we feel a sense of responsibility."
When the Sept. 11 hijackings happened in 2001, Boozer was still in college, not in position to help financially. After Hurricane Katrina walloped New Orleans in 2005, Boozer participated in the benefit game in Houston put together by player-turned-TV-analyst Kenny Smith. He spent a week helping Katrina evacuees in the city, feeding people, handing out supplies at schools. At the league's day of service in New Orleans during the 2008 All-Star Weekend, his group, which included Wade and Caron Butler, went to help rebuild a school.
"I'll always remember the markings they had on the neighborhood houses, how many people survived, how many died," Boozer says. "There must have been 60, 70 people in a four-block radius that had died."
At the school, his group helped build a wall. It didn't feel like much to him, but he has come to realize the value of all contributions, lessons that stuck with him now in an even greater catastrophe.
About 2,000 people died as a result of Katrina. The extreme estimates in Haiti project a number that could be 100 times that.
Although those numbers are unfathomable, even on a personal scale the impact feels greater than anything we have experienced. On 9/11, it felt as if everyone knew at least one person who had lost someone close to him or her. For me, it was my friend's brother, who died in the Pentagon.
With Haiti, it's multiple people who lost multiple people. I've talked to a work colleague who had two deaths in the family. I've heard through the social media grapevine about a college schoolmate who is missing relatives. Even the elation of hearing Polynice say that his father was alive the day after the earthquake has been tempered by subsequent news that three of his cousins have died.
In the face of excessive numbers, the best solution can be to focus on the minutiae.
"When you can help, you've got to help," Boozer says. "And every little bit helps. If you send a toothbrush. If you've got 50 cents."
Money counts the most in the immediate aftermath of a catastrophe. It feels cold and impersonal to donors who would feel more connected by sharing their own possessions or want to see more tangible evidence of their charitable acts. But the people whose job it is to provide help, such as UNICEF's Stern, say the cost of delivering the items can exceed the value of the items themselves. And with an infrastructure as damaged as Haiti's, where the largest port is down to a single pier that can accommodate only one-way traffic, it's exceptionally difficult to get supplies where they need to be. (To provide a personal touch, Stern suggests writing thank-you letters to the rescue and recovery workers).
People at the NBA offices have come to know what to do and whom to deal with in these crises.
"All of this is the culmination of, unfortunately, our experience," Behrens says. "We've had and dealt with a lot of the same partners, for the tsunami in Southeast Asia, the hurricane in New Orleans, the earthquake in China. We've been though these. We have some history in terms of figuring out the right way to mobilize."
Their initial contact was with longtime partner UNICEF, and they quickly turned to Dalembert as a spokesman. He taped a public service announcement the day after the earthquake and it began running during TNT's nationally televised games the next day.
On Jan. 15, Stern came to the 76ers' game against the Sacramento Kings and Dalembert presented her with a check for $100,000. Then he challenged fans to donate at collection sites set up around the arena, and he matched their contributions, which resulted in an additional $22,000, according to Stern.
After playing in Minnesota on Monday night, Dalembert flew to South Florida, where he hopped aboard a Project Medishare charter flight to Haiti. He made it back to Philadelphia on Wednesday just in time for the 76ers' game against Portland, and afterward gave an emotional account of his experiences in Haiti.
Given the circumstances, Dalembert's 10 points and 15 rebounds make for the most impressive double-double you'll ever see. Just seeing his name in the box score ranks as an accomplishment. No one would blame him for spending the rest of the week in Haiti. Instead, his commitment to his job was just as strong as his dedication to his country.
"I think I use the game as a way of getting away," Dalembert says. "It's the way to clear my mind. If we were a winning team, maybe I would take a game or two off. We need as much help as possible. I could've said I'm taking the week off, but I don't think I can be as much use over there, from what's going on.
The best way I can help is by coming here and bringing the message and telling people what's going on, letting them know the money's going to the right place and the right thing.
"-- 76ers center Sam Dalembert
"It's sad, it's not a place that I can go unless you can do something. And the best way I can help is by coming here and bringing the message and telling people what's going on, letting them know the money's going to the right place and the right thing."
Dalembert's willingness to embrace this role as spokesman has turned a player with a career average of 8.1 points per game into one of the most visible faces in the NBA in the past week, just as Haiti ("the ghost part of the land that nobody knew about," Dalembert says) is suddenly on the minds of many Americans who couldn't locate it on a map last month.
"That's why I kind of have to look at this in two different viewpoints," Polynice says. "It's a tragedy, all the lost lives. I'm hoping in the future this will help Haiti grow and become stronger and be a beacon of light to other Third World countries. Now the world's eyes are open to Haiti, and they will stay open and it won't be the forgotten country.
"A lot of people owe a lot to Haiti. We were the first [post-colonial] independent black nation. When George Washington was losing in the war, it was Haitian slaves that were brought in to help the U.S. win the war. We have a lot of great people here in the U.S. that hold high positions in a lot of different companies."
Living in the most impoverished nation in the hemisphere, surviving the father-son Duvalier dictators for 30 years, Haitians had to develop a resilience just to get through everyday life. The same trait that helped Polynice forge a 14-year career in the NBA is evidenced in the willpower that enabled some earthquake survivors to last beneath the rubble for a week without water.
"We just persevere, there's something about us," Polynice says. "We've been through hell already.
"They're gonna keep fighting. I know that for a fact
"I loved that image of that lady when they pulled her out. First thing she started doing was singing. That's it. That's Haiti."
Polynice wants to help in the coming weeks. He's planning a comedy benefit show at The Laugh Factory in Hollywood on Jan. 29. During Super Bowl week in Miami, he will host a display of sports memorabilia as well as an evening with Pro Football Hall of Famer Eric Dickerson (information available at TeamUpWorld.org).
What Dalembert took from his Haitian visit is the need for tents. Tents to provide cover for medical facilities, tents to shelter families, tents to provide relief for doctors so they don't have to waste valuable time and resources shuttling off the island to get rest.
That is an immediate goal of his Samuel Dalembert Foundation, but he doesn't want Haiti to slip from our minds once the crisis subsides and the next story or scandal comes along and captures our attention.
"Something this big has to happen for people to say we have to step up and do something," Dalembert says. "All the people have to suffer for the world to realize that now we need to focus and do something, not just leave it in their hands and say, 'Take care of yourself.' Now it's time to go over there. We need a hospital; let's build a hospital. We need a school for the kids; let's build a school. Four months from now, I want to see a lot of planes coming to Haiti and providing help. A year from now, I want a hospital built."
We've learned a lot about the needs of a neighboring nation in the past couple of weeks. In the process, we learned a little about the people we see on NBA courts, night after night.

For Technical Consultants, yearly average wages total $71K annually. Overall compensation packages to Technical Consultants range from $46K on the low end to $127K on the high end; this includes bonuses that peak near $15K and profit sharing that approaches $8K, with some high rollers snagging commissions as high as $34K. The particular firm is the biggest factor affecting pay for this group, followed by tenure and geographic location. The vast majority (83 percent) of Technical Consultants who answered the questionnaire are male. Most report receiving medical coverage from their employers and a strong majority collect dental insurance. Job satisfaction for Technical Consultants is high. The data for this synopsis comes from respondents who took the PayScale salary survey.

Most technical consultants are hired for projects requiring significant knowledge in a particular technical area. They are usually hired through a consulting or staffing firm, and they often must be able to learn components such as software quickly when placed within a company. Technical consultants need to be able to provide expertise, advice, and support to the company.Read More...
Technical consultants need to be customer service-oriented and detail-oriented, as well as have communication skills, listening skills, and flexibility. They must also be able to work with other people to reach a common goal. Technical consultants typically are required to have at least a bachelor's degree in a relevant field. Most consultants will continue their education, and it is not uncommon for technical consultants have higher-level degrees in computer science or engineering. Some may have as much as a doctorate in their specialized skill set.

At the upper end, Technical Consultants who move into a Solutions Architect role can end up with a hefty increase in pay. The average income for Solutions Architects is a much higher $118K per year. Technical Consultants moving up in their careers tend to step into positions as Senior Technical Consultants or Information Technology Consultants. The median paychecks in those roles are $25K higher and $1K higher, respectively.
Hewlett-Packard Company, Sprint Nextel Corporation, Booz, Allen, and Hamilton, Perficient, Inc., and Deloitte Consulting LLP are among the top companies that take on many Technical Consultants. Technical Consultants seeking a sizable paycheck can earn the most at ServiceNow, where the average salary comes to $107K. Other employers shelling out big bucks include Teradata Corp, Accenture, and Deloitte Consulting LLP, where Technical Consultants typically earn around $89K, $84K, or $80K, respectively.
Sprint Nextel Corporation offers the least pay with a median salary of $31K; furthermore, salaries there max out at only $39K. Kronos And Inc, InfoSys Limited and Hewlett-Packard Company are three other employers with a reputation for below-average pay, showing salaries around $48K, $67K, and $69K.
Survey participants wield an impressively varied skill set on the job. Most notably, skills in Project Management, Java/J2EE, PL/SQL, and JavaScript are correlated to pay that is above average, with boosts between 9 percent and 12 percent. Skills that seem to negatively impact pay include Windows Operating System General Use and Microsoft Office. The majority of those who know IT Consulting also know SQL. Those familiar with Technical Analysis tend to be well versed in Project Management, Data Analysis, and SQL.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Experience and income seem to be closely related; in general, the survey respondents who had worked for more years reported higher incomes. The average worker who claims fewer than five years of experience earns around $66K. In contrast, however, individuals who report five to 10 years in this occupation see a much larger median of $83K. Technical Consultants bring in $98K after working for 10 to 20 years. Veterans who have surpassed the 20-year mark may make only slightly more than those who are navigating the mid-career stage; the more senior group reports median earnings of around $111K.
With a pay rate for Technical Consultants that is 23 percent greater than the national average, San Francisco offers a comfortable salary for those in this profession. Technical Consultants can also look forward to large paychecks in cities like Houston (+18 percent), Philadelphia (+15 percent), Arlington (+12 percent), and Los Angeles (+11 percent). Location is a huge contributor to overall pay, with Technical Consultants in Indianapolis earning a whopping 23 percent below the national average. Not at the bottom but still paying below the median are employers in Chicago and Atlanta (9 percent lower and 2 percent lower, respectively).

As chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, Upton is the gatekeeper for many of the disastrous anti-environment bills that have been approved or proposed in the House this year. Ironically, he was once known among his state's conservatives as "Red Fred" because of a somewhat pro-environment voting record, but a recent electoral challenge from his right changed all that. Because of his powerful position and newfound disdain for green regulation, he represents one of the biggest threats to planet Earth on planet Earth.

Choices will be made, chances will be taken, and desires will be revealed.
Learn from yesterday, live for today, and hope for tomorrow. :-) My life's foundation is based on loyalty, friendship, trust, and honor. I'm optimistic and open-minded and like to be surrounded by positive people. Life is short so it makes sense to make the most of the important things in life like family and friends. I enjoy the simple things of what life has to offer. I admire good character and integrity in a person regardless of their life situation or station. I think communicating and listening are very important skills. People that know me say that I'm easy-going and mild-tempered. I don't sweat the small things. I'm not perfect therefore I'm open to suggestions and feedbacks. In my humble opinion, that is how we human beings learn and grow. I'm always educating myself and learning from experience and others. Wherever I am and whatever conflict it is, I tend to diffuse it than escalate it. Let's find the solution and not focus on the problem. With teamwork, we can accomplish more things. I value my health and the environment. Words that I live by, "Treat others as you wish to be treated." It is priceless! What I said is to just give you an idea. You just can't completely tell solely from reading my profile. No substitute for meeting me face to face and spending time together. Let's meet and talk in person and see if we are on the same wavelength, we click, we feel at ease, we are in harmony, we have chemistry, or we are compatible. Find out and see for yourself. It's for real and you be the judge. A woman with kindness, maturity, integrity, understanding, open-mind, and good communication. We all have our standards on what we are looking for. In an ideal world, someone will meet all those standards. However, we live in a real world. People have their strengths and faults. Everyone is unique in their own way. Each of us has good qualities to offer. All I ask is you keep it real. The truth will set us free. Message me and let's make the most of what life has to offer. Let's live and learn and have fun doing it. I'd like to get to know your inner and outer self. If friendship is what you are looking for then I welcome it with open arms. Have a great day and good luck!

Press release from Marketwire
Ithaca Energy Inc.: Hurricane Appraisal Well Commences
Monday, July 09, 2012
Ithaca Energy Inc.: Hurricane Appraisal Well Commences02:00 EDT Monday, July 09, 2012LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM and CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - July 9, 2012) -NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATESIthaca Energy Inc. (TSX:IAE)(LSE:IAE) announces that it has commenced drilling of the Hurricane appraisal well in Block 29/10b (Ithaca operated), which lies within the Company's Greater Stella Area in the UK sector of the Central North Sea. The well is being drilled using the WilHunter semi-submersible rig. The Company has contracted the services of Applied Drilling Technologies International ("ADTI") to manage drilling operations under "turnkey" contract arrangements. The well programme is anticipated to take between 75 to 85 days to complete, including the performance of a drill stem test. The Hurricane discovery well, 29/10-4z, was drilled by Shell in 1995. The well encountered 41ºAPI light oil in Eocene Rogaland sands in the western lobe of the structure. The appraisal well will be drilled to the base of the Tertiary section in the eastern lobe of the mapped structure and is designed to satisfy three primary objectives:Confirm the nature and volume of recoverable hydrocarbons Calibrate the hydrocarbon contact with seismic amplitude Verify the distribution, quality and connectivity of the reservoir Upon successful completion of the appraisal well objectives, the wellbore will be suspended for future re-entry and completion as a production well. The Hurricane discovery lies within 10 kilometres of the "FPF-1" floating production unit that will be installed as part of the Company's development of the Stella and Harrier fields. The anticipated development of Hurricane would involve the tie-back of wells and subsea infrastructure to the FPF-1, providing a valuable incremental add-on to the ongoing development of the Greater Stella Area. The Company's independent reserves evaluator, Sproule International Limited, assigned net Proved and Probable reserves to Hurricane of 2.7 million barrels of oil equivalent ("mmboe"), based on the well in the western lobe of the discovery, in its report dated December 31st, 2011. The Joint Venture partners in the Ithaca operated Block 29/10b (Hurricane) are Ithaca Energy (UK) Ltd (54.66%), Dyas UK Ltd (25.34%) and Petrofac Energy Developments UK Limited (20%).Notes to oil and gas disclosure: In accordance with AIM Guidelines, Hugh Morel, BSc Physics and Geology (Durham), PhD Hydrogeology (London) and senior petroleum engineer at Ithaca is the qualified person that has reviewed the technical information contained in this press release. Dr Morel has 30 years' operating experience in the upstream oil industry. The Company's petroleum and natural gas reserves (the "reserves") have been independently evaluated by Sproule (www.sproule.com) in accordance with the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook ("COGEH") reserves definitions and evaluation practices and procedures which abide by the standards set by the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum ("CIM"), as specified by National Instrument 51-101 ("NI 51-101"). The evaluation uses Sproule's forecast prices and costs at December 31, 2011. The term "boe" may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion of 6 Mcf: 1 bbl is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. The estimates of reserves and future net revenues for individual properties may not reflect the same confidence level as estimates of reserves and future net revenues for all properties, due to the effects of aggregation.About Ithaca Energy: Ithaca Energy Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary Ithaca Energy (UK) Limited ("Ithaca" or "the Company"), is an oil and gas exploration, development and production company active in the United Kingdom's Continental Shelf ("UKCS"). The goal of Ithaca, in the near term, is to maximize production and achieve early production from the development of existing discoveries on properties held by Ithaca, to originate and participate in exploration and appraisal on properties held by Ithaca when capital permits, and to consider other opportunities for growth as they are identified from time to time by Ithaca.Not for Distribution to U.S. Newswire Services or for Dissemination in the United StatesForward-looking statements Some of the statements in this announcement are forward-looking.

Reviews for Kohan Restaurant
by Janet
Jul 11, 2013
This lovely restaurant is tucked behind all the other restaurants from the main highway. The food here though is delicious!
The staff are lovely and are very accommodating, we came near closing time but they still took our order for dinner.
Ordered the pork belly and a Bento box. The pork belly was cooked to perfection, with the sauce that accompanied it was harmonious to it.
The Bento box gave a fine selection, from salmon to chicken to egg rolls and sushi. The tempura that came with it had a wonderful dipping sauce. The curry powder was also a very nice touch.
Dessert was heavenly, with the chocolate pudding. The presentation of this was marvelous! Candy floss and home made ice creams! The amount of time and dedication the chefs put in really comes through!
A highly recommended place!!

Decided to come here after looking at all the restaurant menus in townand found this restaurant provided us with the best menu. Unlike other Japanese restaurants in New Zealand this is run by Japanese.
Food is excellent, service is also good, fast and friendly. They cater for tour groups as well as smaller groups like ourselves (my husband and I)
We ordered a bento box with blue cod tempura, and other items to share eg buckwheat soup, venison carpaccio, tekapo sushi roll and salmon marinated in sake and dessert (azuri bean and green tea cake).
Everything was superb! Moved the venison carpaccio and the
Buckwheat soup especially.
Definetly recommend this place to anyone going to lake tekapo
It is a bit pricey but is comparative with other restaurants in the area .
Will defiantly come back here again.

Pretty awful decor though, seems to be a Tekapo thing.

L-Lysine is an essential amino acid which acts as a precursor for several other amino acids, including L-citruline (needed in the body for normal protein metabolism). L-Lysine is crucial for the formation of collagen, a major part of the body's connective tissues. L-Lysine also contributes to energy production when converted to acetyl coenzyme A, one of the principal fuels for the Krebs cycle.
