Gunfire breakfast CQ Hotels in Wellington City are holding a special Gunfire breakfast to commemorate Anzac day after the dawn service. The Gunfire breakfast was the historical last meal the troops enjoyed before going into battle. The breakfast, which is only $1, includes eggs, sausages, toast and tomatoes.

After using schools, church halls and the bowling club for meetings and functions, they secured the funds to get their own hall, which was opened in 1948 on Ferry Street to serve the people of Seatoun and Strathmore. In 1991 the Seatoun RSA became independent from the Wellington RSA, becoming affiliated directly with the New Zealand RSA. The Seatoun RSA has been sharing a home with the Seatoun Bowling Club since 2007, and they have around 180 members. Patron Des Wallace was just 19-years-old when he served for a year in the Vietnam War, and has been a part of the

Seatoun RSA since returning. He says this time of the year is an important time for reflection, and Poppy Day is especially important. “All the money our men collect on Poppy Day is important it goes to our welfare fund for people and their dependants.” The Seatoun RSA also organise their own commemorations on Anzac Day, with a march that will begin at 9:30am from the Seatoun shops down to St George’s Church. At 10am there will be a church service attended by Rongotai MP Annette King, followed by a morning tea at the Seatoun RSA and Bowling Club. All locals are welcome to attend.

on Friday April 25 from 8am to 10am. All proceeds from the breakfast will go to the local RSA. Dawn Ceremony of Remembrance The dawn ceremony starts at 5:45am at the Cenotaph at the northern end of Lambton Quay. It proceeds rain or shine and is open to the public. Last year's ceremony attracted around 3000 people, including many youngsters interested in what their grandparents did in the war. The ceremony is organised by the Wellington branch of the RSA. The parade will assemble at the corner of Lambton Quay and Molesworth St at 5.30am. The public are invited to march behind

Farewell to a special friend By Nikki Papatsoumas Seaside school Owhiro Bay School farewelled a very special friend last week. After spending over two decades as principal and teacher, Karen Hardie said goodbye to staff, students and the community. “It’s been a great place to work, it’s a lovely little community. It’d been a very supportive community - one of those places where children and adults learn and grow.” Karen says she has seen the school grow over her time there and they now have six classrooms and a kindergarten. “That is what we have worked at, having one learning community for children from the time they start school to the time they leave,” she says. “It has been a privilege to work here as a principal and I have been here so long so I have been very lucky.”

Those who lost possessions in the Kilbirnie storage fire two weeks ago want some action taken so that others do not face the same losses. The group have lobbied MP Annette King to request an urgent inquiry into the fire and are planning to pursue tighter regulations for storage facilities and more company accountability. At a meeting with more than 45 of the fire victims last Wednesday, representatives from the police and

FAREWELL: From left Angela Peng, Louis Turnidge, Aryana Theodorou and Kaia Baker farewell principal Karen Hardie.

Karen says she will of course miss her students the most when she leaves. “I got into education for the

children and it has always been about the children.” Karen will now move on to Bellevue School in Newlands

and is being replaced by Tineke Giddy, who she says will do a fantastic job in her new role as principal.

Fire victims seek action By Anna Bradley-Smith Massey Journalism Student

the fire service confirmed there was no external alarm or sprinkler system at the facility, but it was not a legal requirement for the company to have them in place. T hose at t he me et i ng agreed to keep fighting for explanations and accountability from the Kiwi Self Storage Company and for regulatory change for storage facilities. Fire victim Megan Ransom set up a Facebook group for those who had units damaged in fire to access information and support, which now has 108 members.

Spokesperson for the fi re victims Peter Fowler says the group needed to try to change the law so that self-storage facilities faced tighter fi re and emergency regulations. “Change needs to happen so that other people don’t have to experience what we’ve experienced.” Unit holder Jude Lane of Miramar says that although generations of her family memorabilia have been destroyed, she has “moved on from my loss” and now wants the facts on how the fire spread.

“I was hugely upset when I found out.” “ Now some one ne e ds to face the blame for the amount of damage caused.” Police have ar rested a 34-year-old Johnsonville man over the arson attack that destroyed most of the 390 units in the block.

Feedback wanted for draft plan

GREEN LIGHT: Eastern Ward Councillor Simon Marsh, Rongotai MP Annette King and Southern Ward Councillor Paul Eagle are pleased that the second phase of the Kilbirnie Town Centre upgrade has been given the green light.

Kilbirnie set for stage two of upgrade By Nikki Papatsoumas Funding of over $500,000 was secured for the completion of the Kilbirnie Town Centre upgrade last week. This is the second stage of the upgrade, after the first stage was completed last year, and will see work carried out on the section of Coutts Street from Bay Road to Onepu Road. This comes after Eastern Ward Councillor Simon Marsh moved an amendment to ensure the

council carried out on its promise to the residents and retailers of Kilbirnie. He says after on-going issues with the upgrade to Bay Road last year, he believes this stage of the work can be carried out with minimal disruption. “I was really involved in the Miramar Town Centre upgrade and with the support of locals, we worked hard to make sure there was minimum disruption, and we ended up with a great result,” says Mr Marsh.

“I feel we can do the same thing here with the second stage of Kilbirnie.” Southern Ward Councillor Paul Eagle seconded Mr Marsh’s amendment, and says they owe it to the people of Kilbirnie to see that work in the town centre is completed. Rongotai MP Annette King also showed her support, by writing a letter to the mayor and councillors. “It is a matter of principle for the people of Kilbirnie. They

have put up with enough with delays and dust on the streets,” says Ms King. “To think they would take the money for somewhere else is just unacceptable.” Mr Marsh says he hopes that this work will help with the continued economic development of Kilbirnie. He says stage two of the work will involve making the area more attractive, and he also wants to look at the issue of a lack of parking in the town centre.

The Wellington Regional Council wants feedback on its draft regional transport plan. The draft proposal is up for public consultation until May 9, and public submissions will be held in late May. A final plan will be drafted in late June. To view the plans, go to gw.govt.nz/have-yoursay.

ANZAC Day

National commemoration

Lest We Forget.

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them.

ANZAC Day occurs on April 25 and commemorates all New Zealanders killed in war as well as honouring returned servicemen and women. The date itself marks the anniversary of the landing of New Zealand and Australian soldiers, the ANZACS on the Gallipoli Peninsula in 1915. The aim was to capture the Dardanelles, the gateway to the Bosphorus and the Black Sea. At the end of the campaign, Gallipoli was still held by its Turkish defenders. Among those who lost their lives in the Gallipoli campaign were 2721 New Zealanders, almost one in four

of those who served on Gallipoli. It may have led to a military defeat, but for many New Zealanders then and since, the Gallipoli landings meant the beginning of something else, a feeling that New Zealand had a role as a distinct nation, even as it fought on the other side of the world in the name of the British Empire. ANZAC Day was first marked in 1916. The day has gone through many changes since then. The ceremonies that are held at war memorials up and down New Zealand, or in places overseas where New Zealanders gather, remain rich in tradition and ritual befitting a military funeral.

ANZAC Day started

ANZAC Day, as we know it, began to take shape almost as soon as news reached New Zealand of the landing of soldiers on the Gallipoli Peninsula on April 25.

Within a few years core elements of the day were set and the ANZAC story and sacredness of the commemoration enshrined.

Auction to raise money for local Plunket The Newtown/Mount Cook Plunket Group are excited for their upcoming fabric auction, which is now in its sixth year. The group have been collecting donations from local designers, upholsterers and retailers which they will sell in a silent auction, smaller set-price pieces, and in grab-bags for crafty types. Member of the Newtown / Mount Cook Plunket volunteer committee Kim Schibli says the money raised goes towards helping young families in the area. This is through projects like providing safe sleeping kits (cots, mattresses and bedding) for families where our Plunket nurse has identified a SUDI

(sudden unexpected death in infants) risk. She says this kind of help is particularly important in the Newtown/Mount Cook community. “There are families doing it pretty tough, so whatever we can do to keep families and their children happy and safe, which is what we are here for.” In the past they have managed to raise around $2000 for the group. The fabric auction will run on Sunday, May 4 at Inhabit Design on Adelaide Road, and there will be free bubbles and nibbles. All are welcome to attend.

Helping bullied teens take control Family Works Central is just one local social service organisation seeing an increase in teenagers and their parents seeking support for dealing with the effects of bullying. Bullying is reportedly widespread in New Zealand. Cyberbullying is posing an even bigger problem as it becomes increasingly easier for bullies to remain anonymous and continue their bullying at all hours of the day and night. Family Works Central counsellor Lizzi Winn finds bullying is not the most common reason teenagers or their parents seek

Lizzi Winn, Family Works counsellor

support, but is often an underlying issue. “If you’re strong, healthy and secure in who you are, you might be able to just brush it off or ignore a bully’s comments, but if you’re feeling slightly vulnerable, lonely or a bit down, bullying can be very difficult to deal with.” “Counselling supports people to feel empowered and more resilient. They might not be able to change the behaviour of the bully, but counselling can provide the tools for them to better manage difficult situations. Essentially, they can change how they respond and how they feel

about the situation,” says Lizzi. One Wellington mother, who wishes to remain anonymous, explains that her once happy teenage daughter rapidly became down and pessimistic after she began spending time with a new group. “The Family Works counsellor gave our daughter a safe place to express her feelings and helped her explore alternative ways to react to the situation. After just a few weeks we began to see a difference in our daughter's outlook.” She is encouraging other parents and teenagers to seek help

if bullying is an issue. “A few months on and our daughter is making better decisions. She’s decided she has the power to choose who she associates with and now has a very strong network of true friends. She is back to her happy and optimistic self.” Family Works Central provides a range of counselling and family therapy services for people of all ages in Wellington and Hutt Valley.  For more information visit www.central.familyworks.org.nz or phone 04 439 4900.

Gabriella Deligiannis Wellington

Brendan Sullivan Wellington

“It’s a time to be with my family and thank Jesus for what he did for us. We crack the eggs and come together as a whole family.”

“It means the triduum, the three days in Easter, the resurrection, dying on the cross and crucifixion. Jesus died to save us.”

“It makes me happy and sad because Jesus helped the little kids but the mean people took him away and hurt him.”

Luke Carter Wellington “It is special because Jesus rose from the dead, and good because he died for us but it is sad for us too.”

Old painting inspires new work A new exhibition at Tapu te Ranga Gallery in Island Bay is shrouded in mystery. For his newest exhibition, Island Bay artist Rahul Gopinathan has been influenced by the existence of a particular artistic mystery - an unsigned painting of a South Island fjord. The exact fjord and artist are both unknown and it dates from over a hundred years ago and has an affinity with the work of 19th Romantic landscape painters.

When Rahul first came upon this painting in a friend’s house he says he immediately felt a powerful resonance with his own work. All he knows is the painting belonged to Jean Batten’s uncle (who lived in High Street, Island Bay) and that one day, in the early 1950’s, he decided to get rid of it. Now it has taken on new life in conversation with Rahul’s paintings – a contemporary artist of at least 100 years later.

For this exhibition he is able to borrow this painting and show it next to his own in an exhibition with Margaret Robinson, “The Colours of Imagination.” The exhibition runs from April 27 until June 5. The gallery is open from midday to 5.30pm daily (except Monday). Further details are at www. taputerangagallery.co.nz.

More than 1800 people attended Life Flight Wellington open day at Wellington Airport last Sunday. Life Flight communications and PR manager Sebastian Grodd says the event was a chance for the community to meet the life saving team. “It was fantastic. It was a chance for the community to come and meet our life-saving teams and get a first-hand experience of the difference their donations are making every day.” Life Flight is a local emergency air services charity. It provides the Wellington-based Westpac Rescue Helicopter and a nationwide air ambulance service. Their annual open day event raised more than $16,000, which will go towards helping the organisation continue to save lives.

Need fitness motivation? Here are some ideas to help you achieve your winter fitness goals

1: Before and after photos In our minds we can run that 10km marathon, or fit into those skinny jeans displayed in a fashion store window. But in reality what we think we look like, may not be what the mirror reflects. So to kick start your winter fitness goals, take a 'before' photo which you can look back at and see the difference your fitness training is making. It's also a great way to steer yourself away from the 'treats'. Keep your photo somewhere you can see it often, on the fridge, in your wallet or even in the car. 2: Goals Board By seeing your fitness goals in front of you every day you wake up, will keep you motivated by reminding you of what you need to do that day. Place coloured notes on the bedroom mirror, the bathroom door, the fridge, kitchen table and even the dog kennel, reminding

haylo SKIN AND BODY

you to walk the dog or visit the gym that day. 3: Keep a record Keeping a record of time spent exercising and any food you eat is another great way to keep tabs on your day to day activities. Let's face it, many people can 'conveniently' forget certain foods they eat, telling themselves; "I'll make up for it tomorrow." By writing everything down you are reminding yourself of what you have done and hopefully motivate you to do some exercise. 4: Update music playlist Music is something that motivates many people whether it be out walking, at the gym or at home. By updating your music regularly, it gives you something to look forward to and makes exercise more fun 5: Family challenge Set a family challenge so everyone can help to motivate one another. It can be to lose weight, to increase your fitness or simply to enjoy some family time while out exercising.

Need some pampering to help you through these early winter chills?

Cycling is excellent for fitness and a family activity.

Drinking an adequate amount of fluid and fueling your body is as important in the winter as it is during the summer. In the winter, the cold weather “blunts the thirst mechanism,” and you may not notice that you are thirsty. Carry a small amount of food and water with you when you exercise outdoors, so you will have some nourishment if you need it. Exercising in the cold increases your appetite as your body temperature drops. Eating and digesting food warms your body. Control your cravings The cold always seems to tempt us

to eat high-calorie snacks that we find much easier to resist in the warmer months. When you find yourself reaching for comfort food such as chocolate, hot puddings, breads and cakes, satisfy your cravings instead with healthier alternatives. Try porridge with cinnamon and stewed fruit instead of adding sugar, low fat yoghurt, a handful of dry, reduced sugar cereal with a few raisins or sultanas, Pumpkin and sunflower seeds, Rice cakes with low fat cottage cheese and cucumber or a small handful of unsalted mixed nuts.

MINUTES WITH:

The Easter Bunny

What is your favourite food?

What’s next on your wish list?

Who would you invite to dinner?

I love a few carrots of course (after all it’s a bunny rabbit’s favourite food) but, because I am a special kind of bunny I can enjoy a few chocolate eggs around Easter – not too many though or I get a sore tummy!

I would love someone to help me figure out an easier way to deliver all my Easter eggs.

Peter Rabbit (he does a great roast carrot) and all my bunny family – there are quite a few of us!

What’s your favourite music? Hip Hop, or anything I can shake my tail, stomp my back feet and hop around to.

Your favourite holiday destination? A frolic through the town belt. I love being outdoors with nature.

What makes you smile? When I see children sharing their chocolate eggs around Easter.

What is one thing Cook Strait News readers would be surprised to know about you? I enjoy a surf down at Lyall Bay, a dive around the southern coast, catching a film at The Roxy cinema and visiting the veggie markets at Newtown on a Saturday.

Hit Capital E these holidays Pick up a book these school holidays With the school holidays on our doorstep why not encourage children to pick up a book over the Easter break. These books have been chosen by team members from Wellington City Libraries and can be found at your local library. To begin they have selected three very different children's fiction books: Wonder by R.J Palacio “I won't describe what I look like. Whatever you're thinking, it's probably worse”. August (Auggie) Pullman was born with a facial deformity that prevented him from going to a mainstream school—until now. He's about to start 5th grade at Beecher Prep, and if you have ever been the new kid then you know how hard that can be. The thing is Auggie's just an ordinary kid, with an extraordinary face. But can he convince his new classmates that he's just like them, despite appearances? Un Lun Dun by China Miéville In bustling London, 12-year-old Zanna and her friend Deeba start to notice some strange happenings in their neighbourhood. Zanna's face and name are appearing in bizarre places around town, and strangers keep calling her "Shwazzy". One night, Zanna and Deeba discover an entrance into

London's "abcity" called Unlondon. It's a lot like London, but also the very opposite of London. Timmy Failure: Mistakes were made by Stephan Pastis Take 11-year-old Timmy Failure — the clueless, comically self-confident CEO of the best detective agency in town, perhaps even the nation. Add his impressively lazy business partner, a very large polar bear named Total. Throw in the Failuremobile — Timmy’s mom’s Segway — and what you have is Total Failure, Inc., a global enterprise destined to make Timmy so rich his mother won’t have to stress out about the bills anymore. And follow up with two fun picture books: Interrupting Chicken by David Ezra Stein Little Red Chicken is so excited at bedtime! Papa tries to read her a bedtime story, but it's hard when she interrupts him every single time... This is a super fun book to read together/aloud with family or friends! Introducing Limelight Larry by Leigh Hodgkinson Limelight Larry thinks he is SO FANTASTIC that this book should be all about HIM.... But showing off is no fun while you're all alone, as Larry finds out!

CHILDS PLAY: Jack Buchanan, Whitney Channings and Tom Knowles from Mr McGee and the Biting Flea The school holidays are upon us and the Cook Strait News has some exciting giveaways to help keep the kids entertained these holidays. This April Capital E takes you on a journey of imagination and fun with E for Everywhere. Uncover the Mysteries of Matiu/Somes and discover the world of game design. Enjoy favourite Wellington locations such as Carter Observatory and the Museum of Wellington City & Sea while encountering the new with Capital E’s MediaLab and OnTV studios at 4 Queens Wharf, open to the public for the first time. Capital E Central will be open for one-off workshops including an exciting opportunity for children and young people to share their thoughts and wishes on what they would like to see at Capital E in the future.

Capital E National Theatre for Children will also present the New Zealand premiere of Patch Theatre Company’s Mr McGee & the Biting Flea on Saturday 19 April in the new-look Hannah Playhouse. Proudly supported by Classic Hits, this wonderful production, ideal for 2-7 year olds, features adaptations of Pamela Allen’s stories 'Mr McGee', 'Alexander’s Outing', 'Belinda', 'Brown Bread and Honey', 'Mary Elizabeth’s House' and 'Mr McGee and the Biting Flea'.

The Cook Strait News has a family pass for Mr McGee & the Biting Flea and two single passes to the E for Everywhere workshops. To enter email your name and address to nikki@wsn.co.nz. Entries close on Friday April 25.

There are a number of reasons as to why buying local products from local businesses can have a positive impact on the community you live in. Economically, choosing to buy products from local businesses means your money is more likely to stay within the area you live. Through supporting your local business men or women, your money acts to strengthen their business, which in turn has a domino effect on the community. As a business grows, it needs more resources, namely staff, who will not only personally benefit from the fact that your money provides them with a source of income, but those staff members will be

spending that money locally. Local businesses are the ones who are likely to provide sponsorship for your local schools, sports teams, or charity organisations, so by supporting your local businesses, you are ensuring that they can support those who need it most in your town. Local businesses also have a responsibility to stand behind their products; there is no middle man between the owner and the customer. Knowing who is behind the business you are buying from, can provide you with assurance that you are receiving nothing but the best in quality and service.

Take a tour of the Museum An exclusive tour of the Museums Wellington Collection Store will take place in celebration of International Museums Day (May 18). The theme for Museums worldwide is “Museum collections make connections.” People will be given a sneak peak at what goes on behind the scenes at Museums Wellington, which includes Museum of Wellington City & Sea, Carter Observatory, Colonial Cottage Museum and Cable Car Museum. Beginning the day at Museum of Wellington City & Sea, the heritage bus will transport the tour group out to the Collection Store in Ngauranga. Registrar, Naomi Boult, Head of Exhibitions and Collections, David Waller and Deputy Director and Head of Content, Paul Thompson will lead the tour. They will showcase some of the Museums’ precious taonga and discuss how objects are acquired, stored and cared for.

Director of Museums Wellington Brett Mason says Museums Wellington has a fascinating collection of taonga. “Each of the objects we care for have a unique story about Wellington’s heritage. The Behind the Scenes tour will give participants a fascinating insight into some of our objects and an understanding of how we care for our collection on a day to day basis.” There will be a light morning tea during the tour with the heritage bus transporting the tour group back to the Museum of Wellington City & Sea after. Only a limited amount of places are available, and bookings are recommended. The tour will take place on Friday May 16 from 10am to midday and the price of tickets is $10. To Book email museumtours@ wmt.org.nz or call 04 472 8940

Charities receive a generous donation By Nikki Papatsoumas

This sees customers taking a token and voting for the charity of their choice. All money that is collected from the sale of plastic bags is then divided up between them, corresponding to how many votes they have. Store spokesperson Caroline Heissner says all charities they choose to support are within a stone’s throw of the store.

Three local charities were given generous donations by Lyall Bay Warehouse last week. The Newtown branch of Canteen, Bellyful South Wellington and Life Flight were each presented with a cheque and a trolley full of goodies after being part of the stores customer choice programme.

Pacific Advisory Group finalised The results for Wellington City Council’s Pacific Advisory Group have now been finalised. Seven candidates from the Cook Islands, Fijian and Samoan communities were successful in being voted on to the group. The only two Tongan candidates nominated to stand this year, and the only Tokelauan candidate, were declared elected unopposed. There were no candidates nominated from the Niuean and Tuvaluan communities. The Pacific Advisory Group is made up of two representatives each from six Pacific nation communities (Cook Islands, Fiji, Niue, Tonga, Tokelau and Tuvalu), and three from the Samoan community as the largest Pacific group in Wellington. The poll attracted around 250 voters from the Capital’s Pacific communities. Electoral Officer Charlie

Inggs says a further poll will be required to fill the remaining Tokelauan position and elect two members each for Niue and Tuvalu. “The by-election was also announced at last night’s meeting and we’ll hold this at the advisory group’s first meeting on May 5.” The by-election will be held on Monday May 5. Nominations opened last night (April 14) and close at 12 noon on Monday April 28. The newly-elected members of the Pacific Advisory Group are: Cook Islands: Mer io Marsters, Kimi Higginson. Fiji: Sai Lealea, Ledua Taucilagi. Samoa: Meremine Ta i a o p o Au elu a , Id a Faiumu-Isa'ako, Anthony Leaupepe (re-elected). Elected unopposed: Tokelau: Sharon Samasoni. Tonga: Alapeta Faletau, Siofilisi Ta'ufo'ou (Sofi).

WORKING TOGETHER: Paul Eagle, Wellington Night Shelter Manager Mike Leon and Kathy Walton, who has been employed as a result of the Te Mahana strategy.

Working towards an end to homelessness By Nikki Papatsoumas Wellington may be one step closer to ending homelessness after the Wellington City Council has come forward and endorsed the Te Mahana strategy. The strategy emerged from a day-long “lock-in” that took place in May 2012 that saw people who represented organisations and community groups working with the homeless, as well as those who have experienced homelessness come together and identify ways to work

more collaboratively. This collaboration of key organisations and groups will see the client at the centre of service delivery. It also is unique in the fact it incorporates a Maori perspective, to reflect the cultural needs of its service users. Manager of the Wellington Night Shelter Mike Leon says this shows a real push to address issues around homelessness in Wellington. He says a previous challenge in the sector has been the communication between services, and under Te

Mahana they will be able to better meet the needs of their clients. “Te Mahana is really bringing things together in terms of putting everyone on the same page.” Wellington City Councillor Paul Eagle has shown his support to the strategy and says this approach will hopefully help towards putting an end to homelessness. “This is a genuine attempt to try and do something that is centred on the person in need, rather than just the agencies,” says Mr Eagle.

SPORT

Making a difference through cycling By Nikki Papatsoumas A bike riding group designed to improve the life and health of Maori and Pacific men is continuing to spread their important message. The Uso Bike Ride is a cycling group that was designed for Maori and Pacific men, with an aim to encourage them to get regular check-ups and promote healthy living. Founder, Chris Te’o says his life has changed since forming the group in 2009, and he is amazed by the positive response he is getting. The group was formed through a life changing experience of his own, when five

years ago Chris’ father was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer very suddenly. After being diagnosed he sadly passed away three weeks later. “He never went to the doctors. Pacific people have a higher rate of cancer than the general population,” Chris says. “We are at the bottom of the cliff in terms of statistics, our people need to really take responsibility.” After this the wheels were in motion, and Chris began cycling to and from his then home in Johnsonville to Wellington city every day. “You can reduce risk if you

keep fit and healthy, look at your diet, and go and visit your doctor and get checkups regularly.” Chris says he started the Uso Bike Ride because he wanted to honour his father’s name and provide people with the help and information they need to stay healthy. Now there are 40 men who are take part in the ride, and the men meet every Saturday for group rides. In order to raise awareness they have cycled from Caprianga to Bluff, stopping in at local churches and community centres to raise awareness. In 2013 they also cycled

around Samoa, visiting villages and spreading their message, and Chris says another visit is on the cards along with one to Hawaii. “It has been amazing, it has bought together so many people in my age group, and hopefully we can pass it on to the next generation so we don’t have the burden of these diseases. “Cancer doesn’t discriminate, everyone and everybody has a story they are close to about cancer.”  For more information, head to www.afolattalofa. co.nz

Lidgard Sails Regatta excites participants By Sai Raje

SMOOTH SAILING: Sailboats enjoy the last of the good weather on Evans Bay last week. PHOTO CREDIT: Sai Raje

It was an exciting course to the finish as 61 sail boats in 10 different categories raced fiercely in trying conditions in the Lidgard Sails Regatta. Organised by the Evans Bay Yacht and Motor Boat Club (subs:on April 5 and 6), the yachts faced medium-strength winds of 12 knots on the first day of racing but these shifted to strong winds of 20 knots on the second. Club communications officer Demian Dixon says the racing, in which all boats had to complete seven races over the weekend, got off to a slow start. “But then the southerly picked up in the af-

ternoon and it all became quite challenging.” Andy Brown, who has been racing in the Evans Bay regatta for the last five years in his Paper Tiger CT Hairy Maclary, says the weather was “pretty shifty” at the start. “There was barely any wind when we started in the morning. “And in the afternoon, we were stuck and going around in circles between a southerly and a northerly for a bit,” he says. Mike Hood, who races in a Paper Tiger boat called The Package, says he had no time to eat lunch because of the back-toback races on Saturday after the wind suddenly picked up. “But we were here to sail, not eat. I had a good time on the water today.”
