New York, here comes Sophie!

By Glenise Dreaver

Johnsonville Primary School student Sophie Fulton, newly turned 10, has just heard she has been awarded a scholarship for a week’s study at the prestigious itheatrics Junior Theatre Academy in New York.

There, she will do an intensive course of study in Broadway theatre.

Sophie has already sung with New Zealand Opera as a junior chorus member in La Boheme, and sings with the Wellington Young Voices choir as well as in Karori’s Musical Stars theatre group.

Sophie’s main focus is singing Continued from page 1.

She has appeared in several well-known New Zealand films.

In one, Peter Jackson’s Model Engines in the role of Sweet Girl, she even rated her own trailer and wardrobe assistant.

Sophie’s audition piece was done as a video recording and combined with her exceptional CV, cemented her scholarship.

“My main focus is the singing, but I really want to do dancing as well,” says Sophie when thinking about her future.

“And I really, really love art and painting. It calms me,” she adds.

In a twist of fate, her mother Suzi was taught singing by Jo’s father at school in Nelson though, she says, her singing never “took off” in the way Sophie’s has.

She says that while the academy funds the week’s study, they are having to raise another $10,000 for her and Sophie to travel and for their living expenses while they are New York.

As well as Sophie’s busking in Johnsonville, a fund-raising concert is to be held on June 9 at St Christopher’s Church in Tawa between 4.30 and 5.30pm when Sophie will be singing in a range of genres.

She will be well supported: her vocal coach Jo Hodgson, wellknown in the world of singing, will make a guest appearance as will Stacey Dalzeil and The Wellington Young Voices choir.

Sophie and her mother Suzi are fund-raising to help pay for their travel and expenses during Sophie’s scholarship study in New York.

Herald was Ruth’s baby

inbrief news

By Glenise Dreaver

A free four-hour-long weed control workshop, ‘Know them, kill them’, is to be held at the Leonard Cockayne Centre, Otari, Wilton Road on June 8, from 9am.

The seminar is for people involved in community conservation and is to cover prioritising your weeds and best methods for weed busting.

It is to be facilitated by Darryl Kee from Weedworks, who has more than 25 years experience working on weeds throughout New Zealand.

The quietly-spoken woman sitting beside me at the Northern Chorale concert was clearly interested in my clutching of notebook and paper, the tools of my trade.

“Who are you writing for?” she asked.

I explained: The Independent Herald.

“That paper was my baby!” she said.

I was sitting beside Ruth Thomas.

In 1972, she took over as the editor of the one-month-old newspaper from the two instigators, Bronwyn Gray and Judith Holloway.

Forty seven years later, her paper still exists.

Ruth says it began with Egan Ogier, a local accountant involved in the Johnsonville Licensing Trust which provided the finance for the Independent Herald when the-then local paper the Times Herald closed.

It was the time when many small papers were disappearing because new technology meant larger more profitable papers circulating to many more people could be established.

A former school teacher with three young children, one still at home, Ruth offered to write for the paper.

She was offered the job as editor, though.

She consulted with her husband John, first though.

His answer made her choice clear. “Why not?”

It was a time when the Johnsonville Mall had just opened, and their first office was in an office loaned by Egan Ogier.

Later they had their own office behind the place the Independent Herald now calls home in Broderick Road.

Ruth asked a number of women who were at home like her with young children to help.

The aim was to have news

Wellington papers running out of their offices all, she says, surviving “quite well”.

It was in 1987 when Ruth finally felt she had done enough here.

“With my husband’s death, the bottom dropped out of my world,” she says.

So it was off to Auckland, where she ran community newspapers for Wilson and Horton, then moved on to lecture in journalism at Auckland University of Technology (AUT).

Her own academic study continued, culminating in a Ph D - her topic a new way of teaching young journalists that differed from the old ways of sub-editing and control by senior journalists.

There are those, like myself, who have over the years attended national meetings of journalism educators and seen her quietly-spoken advice sought, and listened to, with the utmost respect.

That’s although many of those could fairly be described as hardened, testosterone-driven representatives of the old school of journalists.

Two years ago, Ruth returned home to live at Whitby, with family and many close friends nearby.

Ruth, we at the Independent Herald honour you and thank you.

Organic freebies New Zealand’s second organic week April 29-May 5 was celebrated at Karori New World with free tastings of organic goods and information about organics.

Alison White of the Safe Food Campaign says that In Wellington other activities included bike tours of community gardens, farm visits, a workshop on composting and an organic chocolate walking tour.

The most popular chocolate at Karori?

“It proved to be Wellington Chocolate Factory’s salted caramel,” says Alison.

Water tank sales go well On Saturday morning, 31 of Wellington’s 200 litre emergency water tanks were sold outside Countdown Johnsonville.

The $300 profit is being directed to a combination of local community groups and charities including a foodbank, local schools and the Lions Club of Johnsonville.

“The authorities will ensure that water is available for Wellington residents from day eight after a major disaster,” says Malcolm Sparrow, Community Resilience portfolio leader at Wellington City Council, “but we need to provide for ourselves for the first seven days, at the recommended rate of 140L per person (20L per person per day).”

The next sale of water tanks will be outside Churton Park New World on Saturday June 8.

inbrief news Heart Kids needs help

Irate commuters

Every week in New Zealand 12 babies are born with a congenital heart defect, the number one cause of death in babies and infants.

Heart Kids supports families as they manage the challenges that come with having a heart child.

The charity receives no Government funding and relies on donations and grants.

On June 3, Heart Kids launches its National Awareness Week and they are looking for kind-hearted, willing volunteers to help with the annual street appeal on Friday and Saturday June 8-9 across New Zealand.

If you are able to spare a couple of hours, please contact Lisa on events@ heartnz.org.nz

New police number On Friday, watch out for a police announcement on an addition to its iconic emergency number, 111.

There will be an announcement on another number, this time focused on non-emergencies, which, police say, they are sure will become just as iconic.

The announcement will be made by New Zealand’s Police Commissioner Mike Bush, at a Friday morning meeting in the Oceania room in Te Papa, also attended by the Minister of Police Stuart Nash.

Rebecca Matthews and her team surveying Karori bus users last week spoke to 25 commuters as they surveyed the effect disrupted bus services are having in their lives.

There were plenty of observations to be forwarded to Chris Laidlaw, chairperson of the Greater Wellington Regional Council, with only one person

saying the changes had no effect on them.

“We were focussing mainly on the effect the changes and disruptions had for people getting to work or education on time,” says Rebecca.

“The comment I liked best was from one person who said ‘Buses are a lottery.’”

Cancellation of services proved to be a big issue and as well as those going to work, it

was having an impact on those involved in education.

“For example, full buses can bedriving past stops at around 3pm, making mothers late for school pick-ups was a problem.’

Later in the day, the full buses leaving from Lambton Quay, delaying people getting home at the end of the day, also surfaced in the survey she said.

“The loss of good experienced drivers was also mentioned.

People knew them and chatted to them and they were just gone.”

Bumpy journeys, and unreliable information on electric signs also frustrated commuters.

“It was said the signs had little resemblance to reality.”

Challenge 2000 shows the way

By Glenise Dreaver

Kitty McKinley, founder, project manager and social worker at Johnsonville’s Challenge 2000 in Wanaka Street shows calm certainty.

It’s clear she’s confident her team’s simple formula for social work success is the right one.

“Love works,” she says.

“And you never give up.”

That’s although they work with many young people who have profound mental health or other issues.

Love means caring for them, for each other and living the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi.

Kitty, though she has Maori whanau, is not Maori but prizes

Te Tiriti up on the wall, the one in Maori.

It was in 1988 that she had an idea.

She saw the gaps in the community and government systems she was working within and realised she, and a team of like-minded people, could do something to fill them.

The result was Challenge 89, a oneyear project working with both at risk young people and young people who wanted to make a difference in their schools and communities.

Thirty years later, there is a staff of 38.

Working with partners like MSD, the Police, BGI, CAB, Wellington City Council, churches and selected schools and colleges across Greater

Wellington, they now have some 8-10,000 young people under their wing.

They have also begun to run leadership programmes for high achievers, who can feel lost and unsure of how to contribute their skills and live their dreams.

Requests from throughout New Zealand requesting that their programmes be brought to them are always, she says, turned down.

“We’re not a McDonald’s franchise. Without community leadership and commitment, the right people in the right place, it won’t work.”

Funding is a struggle, fundraising vital to what they do. Donations are

prized.

And Kitty says they are grateful for the many small gifts that show community grassroots support.

“One lady brings us in a bacon and egg pie once a week. We really look forward to that.”

Other gifts, of food and jam,

come to the door. There are gifts, from staff and others, of special interests and skills, in drama and music, kapa haka, driving lessons or outdoor activities.

“If anyone wants to support us, just come to the door and let us know.”

MP for Ōhāriu

Authorised by Greg O’Connor, Parliament Buildings, Wellington

Many constituents will receive a nice surprise this week when the Winter Energy Payment arrives in their bank accounts. For large numbers of New Zealanders, this will be mean being able to afford the heating which allows them to get out of bed on a cold morning, or even remain up longer in the evenings. Yes, there are those for whom it will make little difference, and one National Party MP said in Parliament her friends would be restocking their wine cellars with the money.

However for the majority, it will make a positive difference, and it’s far cheaper to make the payment universal for qualifying groups rather than introduce an expensive means testing regime.

The massive expense of having people fronting in hospital with preventable respiratory diseases, which result in 1600 deaths a year, means investments like these are eminently sensible.

And that is the primary role of government; to make decisions and implement strategies which are for the long term benefit of the

country and its citizens.

I know that whenever I speak to constituents, they will know far more about their own neighbourhood, their industry, or their profession than I ever will.

However it is my job as the Local MP to know a bit about all the neighbourhoods, professions and industries so I can understand the up and downsides of introducing ideas that might be good for one side but have detrimental effects elsewhere.

The Confucians refer to it as yin and yang; balance.

That’s why I spend the time when I’m not in Parliament, or dealing with constituent issues, making myself available in shopping centres, markets, cafes and other places where people gather so I can hear from a good cross section of Ohariu residents hence why I organised the meeting in Ōhāriu Valley last week.

I certainly wouldn’t want to rely on social media or just mainstream media!

So please approach me for a chat when you see me out andUnit about.

We are ONE with the Sikh community

By Brian Sheppard

The Churton Park Community Centre recently began a series of ‘We are ONE’ evenings, to create a better understanding of diverse groups of Kiwis.

The first meeting related to

Muslims and this second one, on May 3, featured our Sikh neighbours.

The evening was opened with a spiritual shabad (hymn), followed by an overview by Manjit Singh, from Karori, of the core values and principles of a Sikh.

He explained that Sikh holy book, the Granth Sahib has, since 1699, held the status of the Final Guru.

He explained that the principles developed by early gurus were in part a response to the inequalities of India’s caste system.

They reflect that all people are created equal and so promote a commitment to prayer, sharing, compassion, honest living and enterprise.

The commitment to sharing is emphasised by the concept of langar, in which vegetarian food

is prepared and shared by all.

Manjit’s talk ended with a demonstration of tying the turban, followed by a shared Sikh meal.

There was a genuine interest in the information received and a renewed sense of neighbourliness towards each other.

Voting on Karori BID begins The chair of the Karori Business Improvement District (BID) committee, Julie Johnston, says the development of the BID is well under way.

Voting papers arrived late, but they have been able to extend the closing date out to May 20 and voting has now begun.

“But to have a positive vote, there needs to be a return from at least 25 percent of eligible businesses, and 51 per cent of those need to be in favour,” she says.

She is urging everyone who supports having a council-imposed rate that is then put towards improving the retail area, to make sure they make their feelings known.

Barrie Keenan, a member of the steering group, says there have been some changes in the original concept.

“Premises in outlying areas, for example Karori Auto Services, and Gipps St, questioned whether they would benefit sufficiently.

“So it was decided to focus on the areas the council has designated as suburban centres, the Karori Town Centre and Marsden Village,” he says.

Outlying businesses will be able to join later, he says. While it means the numbers, and therefore their income will be reduced, Barrie says overall it is a positive outcome.

He adds that their constitution will be looking to the future, with associate membership an option for those outside the initial area, or people working from home or being one of several businesses co-working in shared premises.

To vote, businesses can, he says, drop the sealed envelope with their papers at the Karori library or post them in the return-paid envelope.

There had been concerns that the delay

might mean they missed the council’s final annual budget meeting timeline on May 16.

“But Swampy Marsh, the councillor with responsibility for this project, has assured us that it will not adversely affect us,” says Barrie.

“We’re very relieved.”

Assuming a positive result, the next step would be, he says to form a new incorporated society, The Karori Business Association.

Then they would terminate the long-standing Marsden Village Association, as it will be very much part of the new the Karori BID. “That will be an interesting process,” says Barrie.

Brett’s Brief National Party List MP based in Ōhāriu

For all the Government’s talk of wellbeing and fairness, its delivery to date has been woeful.

What is fair about the median rent going up by $50 a week?

How has wellbeing improved for the extra 13,000 New Zealanders now on a benefit? What stories of heartbreak are behind a more-than-tripling of emergency housing grants?

Brian Poole has lived for most of his life with Crohn’s Disease and, as May 19 approaches, the day set aside to raise awareness for sufferers of Inflammatory Bowel Disease, he has words of encouragement for sufferers.

I was 22, in downtown Wellington and experienced a sudden abdominal pain.

“It was like being hit in the stomach with a cricket bat.”

This is Brian Poole’s recollection of the first sign that something was seriously wrong, and it was in the mid-1960s.

Brian, who lives at Churton Park, was suffering from Crohn’s disease—ulceration of the gastro intestinal tract—and one form

of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD).

IBD incorporates Crohn’s disease (which can occur anywhere in the gastrointestinal tract) and ulcerative colitis (thickening and inflammation of the large bowel).

Crohn’s remains notoriously hard to diagnose and there is no cure.

Brian’s journey, living with a debilitating and sometimes embarrassing condition, but achieving much, is an inspiring one.

The isolation these diseases can

cause and the effects on education and people’s ability to work motivated Brian to set up the Crohn’s and Colitis Wellington support group and the national organisation, Crohn’s and Colitis New Zealand in 2010. in 2013 he was awarded the QSM for his services to health and the community.

Now in his 74th year, he is still living a very busy life and continuing to contribute hugely, through the Crohn’s and Colitis NZ Charitable Trust CCNZ, to the welfare of others with IBD.

A quick jab can help beat the flu Winter is on the way, and it’s time to think about getting a flu shot.

Stocks of the flu vaccine are now available across the country at GP practices and some pharmacies.

Influenza immunisation shots are free for pregnant women and those aged 65 and over.

The vaccine is also funded for people under 65 who have heart or respiratory disease, severe asthma, diabetes, cancer and other serious conditions which can put them at greater risk.

Most people suffer only moderate illness from flu, but around 400 New Zealanders die each year from the disease.

This year’s funded vaccine protects against four strains of influenza, including influenza A (H3N2) and influenza B. Influenza is a “significant” public health issue in New Zealand, according to the Ministry of Health.

It is easily spread through talking, coughing and sneezing.

Each year 10-20 per cent of New Zealanders will become infected.

Health Minister David Clark says influenza immunisation is important.

“We can protect ourselves and our families by getting immunised, to reduce the spread of influenza to the most vulnerable people in our community,” he says.

Last winter saw a “record” number of New Zealanders immunised - 1.3 million - after the northern hemisphere had a particularly severe winter.

What of families going without so that their household budget can stretch to the cost of ongoing petrol tax hikes across the country?

In this “year of delivery”, what of the promises the Government made?

The 1800 extra Police officers promised by 2020 clearly won’t be achieved.

The additional 496 Police so far were all funded from National’s Budget 2017.

KiwiBuild has been allocated $2 billion and all it has delivered are a few dozen houses. Not just a failure, but a complete shambles.

The Government’s taking more tax from motorists and all it’s delivering are cost blow-outs and the canning of projects, such as the Petoneto-Grenada link road.

What of the economy?

Economic growth has slowed from about 4 per cent to just over 2 per cent.

The number of New Zealanders with jobs fell by 4000 in the past three months. Under National, new jobs created reached a rate of 10,000 a month.

The $3 billion Provincial Growth Fund was touted

by Shane Jones to deliver 10,000 jobs. Even he can only find 562. And closer inspection by National could identify only 54 genuine new jobs created.

In this “year of delivery”, the Government is failing on just about every count.

In a few weeks they will release their “wellbeing Budget.” Their track record so far suggests New Zealanders will be lucky to get any.

St Benedict’s schoolchildren came out all in pink to show their support for the Positively Pink campaign’s fight against breast cancer. PHOTO supplied.

Positively Pink NZ’s no 1 The Positively Pink fundraiser for breast cancer, founded by Khandallah’s Kate Twigg and held on Friday night, broke all records with an astonishing $55,000 raised making

it the number 1 on the national leaderboard for pink ribbon fundraising.

The event was held at the Gazley Mercedes Benz Wellington Showroom and the total included

donations from numerous sponsors, the event itself, an auction and local community support, including a ‘pink day’ at St Benedict’s school in Khandallah

This was $25,000 more than the goal of $30,000, “A massive achievement!” says spokeperson Rebecca Reed.

“We are absolutely over the moon

with the result.. Kate and the ladies are still on a massive high!” she says, adding that the St Benedict’s School ‘pink day’ alone raised $467.50.

The joy of making music: Northern Chorale director Monika Smith’s enthusiasm and inspiration for members was clear from the moment she picked up the baton at their concert.

Music for the people, by the people

By Glenise Dreaver

One of Wellington’s many claims to fame is its reputation of having the highest percentage of people directly involved in the arts in the country.

It’s 60 percent, more than anywhere else in New Zealand.

And the Northern Chorale’s concert on April 28 in the Khandallah Town Hall clearly showed that.

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Sailor: Songs of Working Folk showed the sheer joy that grassroots community involvement in singing brings.

It was etched on the face of

director Monika Smith as she led the group through the afternoon’s offerings.

It could also be seen on the faces of the performers, and in the enthusiastic participation by the audience in the singalong to Molly Malone, and their reception of all the items.

The chorale meets between 7.30-9.30pm on Monday evenings at the Khandallah Presbyterian Church.

Membership is open to all comers, regardless of experience or musical ability.

Monika says the biggest gap in their ranks is for tenors.

‘ello ‘ello ‘ello: Chris Bell made a very convincing policeman as he delivered Gilbert and Sullivan’s piece “The Policeman’s Lot”. There was plenty of help from his friends in the Northern Chorale (including one alert chorus member who tapped him on the shoulder to point out his helmet was back to front).

Local faces, local voices: Members of the Northern Chorale presented New Zealand composer Helen Caskie’s work on Dipping, drawn from her composition Three New Zealand Country Scenes.

A tidy site is a safe site

13

MAY 3 TO MAY 14, 2019

Free up more time for site progress by letting us take care of the basics.

• We safely and responsibly load and dispose

on minimising site waste

of your waste (up to 6m3) • Accelerated process. In and out in one hour

Anyone who’s worked (or lived) on a building site will know how messy it can become. It’s no reflection on builders, of course – it’s only natural that debris will pile up when you’re creating something new.

Cleaning up the site can be a real headache for contractors, never mind property owners – but that’s where Tidy Site comes in. This newly established Wellington company is already being hailed as a life-saver by its satisfied clients.

Based in Miramar, Tidy Site is the brainchild of successful builder James Gardiner. Back in 2017, he recognised an ongoing need for site clearance and maintenance. Instead of putting their building expertise into construction work, builders were using their valuable time picking up materials and safely removing rubbish. It’s estimated that apprentices spend 10 to 20 percent of their time doing just that.

• Gain valuable education time for the apprentice and overall time savings

• Efficient and cost effective

We’ll take care of that

• We support recycling and have a keen focus

What this amounts to is building projects taking longer, costing developers their hard-earned cash.

Tidy Site looks to improve the efficiency of any project with its safe and accelerated site clearance. Whether you’re doing up your home, you need to clear out an office fit-out, or you’re a contractor yourself, James and his team are more than happy to assist.

Residential clients in particular may find it tricky to find a spot to put a skip on Wellington’s narrow streets, or might not have the manpower to move large amounts of rubbish. Tidy Site is the smart alternative, supplying all the vehicle and personnel necessary to rid your home of unwanted material. Tidy Site can also help with maintenance issues that don’t relate to construction. For example, if you’re cleaning out a student flat or you need to remove foliage from an overgrown garden.

For commercial customers, Tidy Site understands that it is not always convenient to efficiently remove rubbish, especially in the heart of the city. They provide rubbish removal and delivery services during shop fit-outs and general office cleaning. Finally, trade customers should note that Tidy Site’s services are now available at your local Placemakers, and for your convenience can be invoiced as part of your monthly statements.

Furthermore, whatever rubbish materials Tidy Site can dispose of sustainably, they will. The team makes the extra effort to recycle any usable site waste, cardboard, plastics, and metals during their process.

Tidy Site is a truly innovative service provided by a hard-working, committed Wellington team. For more information or to make an enquiry, visit their website: www.tidysite.co.nz

Chinese Calligraphy lessons

By Glenise Dreaver

Chinese artist Qianxiang Liu of Johnsonville is running a series of workshops in Chinese calligraphy for the community’s Chinese children.

The classes are run by Wellington’s Ya Feng group - Ya Feng being an example of gentle Chinese humour, meaning a gentle breeze.

They are being held each Wednesday in the Johnsonville Community Centre and as the

artist speaks only Mandarin, the learning is in that language.

Some twenty children attended the first class last week.

As well as the excitement of learning a new skill, and being introduced to the principles of Chinese drawing, the children are being introduced to much that is the basis of Chinese culture.

(Qianxiang Liu and his work, this year celebrating the Chinese New Year of the pig, featured on page 1 of the Independent Herald on February 6 2019.)

Artist Qianxiang Liu of Johnsonville is introducing a generation of children to the principles of Chinese art and much that is key to Chinese culture in his weekly lessons at the community centre.

Ngaio group dogged by dogs issue

By Glenise Dreaver

Ian Turk has a few big issues on his plate following his election as chairman of the Ngaio Crofton Downs Residents’ Association last November.

The first is, he says, a responsible approach to improving Cummings Park.

“The Wellington City Council survey on whether Cummings Park should continue its traditional ‘dogs off the leash’ policy clearly showed a huge amount of feeling for this space.”

The land in question is behind the Ngaio shops.

The survey saw 80 percent of respondents clearly in favour of keeping the dog exercise area as a “no leash” zone, though, says Ian, the council’s resulting decision that it should stay that way doesn’t suit everyone.

They will need, he says, another public meeting on plans for the Cummings Park area generally, with WCC and the new ranger involved.

“We need a vision for the area to be developed and a strategy to get there,” he says, describing the area as “a treasure”.

“We’d like to have a draft before the AGM in November. Then we can get feedback for something that can be completed by the end of the year.”

The other big issue is that of

Ian Turk, chairman of the Ngaio Crofton Downs Residents’ Association.

community preparedness for emergencies.

He says conversations held after last year’s AGM made it obvious that lots of people don’t know what’s been set up.

“Crofton Downs Primary School and the Ngaio Playcentre are both hubs and it’s important everyone knows about that.”

The cancellation of the community picnic, where the Wellington Regional Emergency Management Organisation (WREMO) was scheduled to have a display had been a blow, he said.

“A lot of people had done a lot of work for that.”

The residents’ association will also be organising Meet the Candidates evenings as the local body elections draw nearer in October.

“That’s for the mayoralty, city council and the Greater Wellington Regional Council,” he says .

There are other issues looming, not least the construction of the now-approved BUPA retirement village and associated traffic flows but for now, Cummings Park and the area’s emergency planning are top of the agenda.

with Jacob Page

Warriors roll the dice on Nikorima As the Warriors chuck quick money at their halves problem by bringing in Kiwi Kodi Nikorima, it highlights the issue with the club.

Shaun Johnson must have a slight smirk in Cronulla as the club he left under a cloud in February has been forced to make a hospital pass decision to lure Nikorima, the Broncos half, to Auckland.

When Johnson left, Warriors fans were told by the club that the phone was running hot with players wanting to be amongst the New Zealand franchise.

Like many things with the Warriors that was predictable hyperbole.

The forking out of the cash not even midway through the season

is an admission that the current state of affairs simply is not good enough.

Nikorima is a talented 25-yearold who has played 86 NRL games.

He’s young enough to make a decent impression and he’s signed through to the end of the 2021 season.

The sceptic in me still ponders if he was that great a player, why would the Broncos, who are having a terrible season themselves, let him go in the middle of a campaign?

This outcome is the best the Warriors could do given the situation.

They have likely overpaid for Nikorima’s services but luring the

best players across the Tasman has meant they’ve done that for years.

Without this roll of the dice, and that’s what it is, the Warriors’ season would have gone nowhere.

Of course, it may still pan out to go nowhere, but that wouldn’t be a new outcome for a Warriors campaign, would it?

After all, it’s just a matter of faith.

Centre court appearance a buzz All eyes were on two young Kelburn netball fans as they met their Pulse and Magic heroes on centre court at Sunday’s ANZ Premiership match.

Eight-year-old Veronica Hickey, who attends Sacred Heart Cathedral School, won the opportunity through the ANZ Future Captains competition, to meet Katrina Rore and Casey Kopua.

Not only that, she led the teams out onto centre court at the start of the match, which was live on SKY Sport. It might be a taste of the future, as Veronica hopes to play for the Silver Ferns one day.

Eleven-year-old Katie Hickey, Veronica’s sister who also attends Sacred Heart, was able to join her for the exciting on-court experience.

“I loved high fiving the players before the game. It was so cool to meet Ameliaranne Ekenasio!” says Veronica.

The match saw the Pulse beat the Magic by 54-33 goals.

ANZ Head of Sponsorship Sue McGregor says ANZ is committed to its support for netballers in New Zealand, whether it’s at the grassroots level or right up to the professional athletes representing our very best, playing in the ANZ Premiership.

“That’s why we’re giving 94 kiwi children around New Zealand the chance to be part of the ANZ Premiership and meet their netball heroes as an ANZ Future Captain.”

Pulse’s captain Katrina Rore, left, and Magic’s captain Casey Kopua, with future captains Katie Hickey, at left, and Veronica Hickey, during the ANZ Premiership netball match between the Pulse vs Magic at the TSB arena in Wellington on Sunday April 21. PHOTO: Supplied

“We are thrilled to be able to offer this incredible opportunity to aspiring young netballers, and hope that by giving them the chance to stand on centre court with their heroes they will be inspired to

keep their training up and put in 110 percent at their own games” ANZ is continuing to provide support to netballers and fans all over the country, knowing that everyone needs a little

support to achieve their goals.

So whether it’s a leg-up with new gear, coaching tips from your heroes or support to help your clubs aspirations, having ANZ on your Team could make a huge

difference. Tell ANZ what having ANZ on your team would mean for you.  Applications are now open at anzcourtside.co.nz

Yellow cards dished out in tough game

By Grant Stephen

There were a number of yellow cards dished out in the tough contest in the Men’s Central League match at Wakefield Park on Saturday night.

Wellington Olympic overcame New World Newlands North Wellington by two goals to one to claim all three points. They now sit third on the table after seven matches in the 18-game season. North Wellington are two points behind in fifth place.

The match had all the intensity the crowd on the embankment had hoped for and the free-flowing game

featured end to end sprints, mixed with close quarter two touch passes.

It took until five minutes before the half-time break for Tom Jackson to trouble the score board and get Olympic in front following a breakaway run down the left flank.

Nor t h’s Jesse Ra nd a l l evened the score 10 minutes into the second half with a hard shot from the right side of the penalty area that hit the left hand post and cannoned in.

This young man continues to play with experience beyond his years and troubles the opposition at every turn.

George Barbarouses locked

up the game for Olympic in the eightieth minute when he volleyed a ball over North’s Nic Stanton who was caught off his line.

Other matches in the round saw Wel l i ng ton Un ited overpowered by a rampant Stop Out who won 12-0, Waterside Karori won away 2-1 over Lower Hutt and Western Suburbs won 2-1 over Wairarapa.

Napier City Rovers remain top of the table with a 2-1 win over Miramar Rangers.

On Sunday in the Women’s Premier League, North Wellington kept their perch at the top of the table with a 3-1 win over Kapiti Coast United.
