Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained
HE may not have been born in the wagon of a travelling show – he’s certainly not a tramp or thief – but Graham Howie could be described as being about as gypsy as they come.

Cellphone Tower Sparks Local Anger

JOHNSONVILLE man Matthew Leach is up in arms over the placement of a cellphone tower on the corner of Atua St and Bannister Ave, and claims that the structure was erected with no consultation of local residents. Labelling the tower an “eye sore”, Mr Leach – who lives on Atua Street – says very little information was given to residents who now have a cellphone tower almost right at their front doors.


Party A Hit With Local Children

HAVING played host to hundreds of local children, the Porirua Hosanna Fellowship has reported that its ‘Party at the Creek’ – an alternative to typical ‘Trick of Treat’ Halloween parties – was a resounding success. On October 31, more than 350 local children flocked to the Porirua Hosanna Fellowship Hall for ‘Party at the Creek’ – which, despite having only been organised in a matter of weeks, was a hit with the kids.


Mass Opposition To School Zone Change

A meeting of the Churton Park School Board of Trustees overflowed recently, when it was attended by between 60 and 80 local residents as part of the Campaign for Local Schooling movement. Bearing placards proclaiming ‘Local Schools for Local Kids’, the residents and parents forced the BOT to move and re-convene the meeting in the school’s larger senior block. “We attended the meeting to show our opposition to the Board’s proposed zoning changes, which would exclude parts of the community from the school zone,”

IT is only a matter of weeks before Porirua College finds out whether changes it has progressively made to its food and nutrition policy have earned it a gold medal in the National Heart Foundation’s School Food Programme. The school began phasing out unhealthy foods in 2002 – by restricting the sale of sugary items to the latter half of lunchtime in 2002, and then phasing them out completely in 2003 – and, since then, has received a silver medal for its efforts. “Research has shown that academic results improve and the way you accept knowledge improves if you eat well,” said Home Economics teacher Nicola Potts.
