Christian Williams, Linnea Lindstroem, Patrick Corrieri, Martin Hanley and Sarah Adams at the proposed site for a community garden at Carrara Park.

By Nikki PapatsoumasA new community garden is

planned for Carrara Park in New-town.

Christian Hill, a member of the Newtown Gardeners Group, is heading the project after helping to set up similar gardens overseas.

He says he lives really close to the

park and believes Newtown needs a community garden of its own.

The proposed garden will be mostly made up of a vegetable patch, but they are hoping to eventually include berry bushes and fruit trees for anyone that uses the park to pick from.

By Nikki PapatsoumasThe weather didn’t deter around 80

people from helping out at Capital Montessori School’s spring bee last Sunday.

Capital Montessori school in Kingston is for children aged three to six years where Montessori principles are embraced to help chil-dren develop their independence, confi dence and a love of learning.

They also offer a part-time pro-gramme for children under the age of three.

The school’s spring bee was held with support from the Wellington City Council who donated com-post, mulch, an edible advisor and 100 plants from the Berhampore Nursery.

The spring bee included planting

Around 80 people lent a hand for Capital Montessori School’s spring bee.

around the entrance to the school, putting in an edible garden and routine mainte-nance to the school grounds.

Community coordinator for the school Nicky Hill says the school has a work-ing bee every term, but the spring bee is their big one

for the year. “It was touch and go

whether we would do it, but it ended up being good for the plants to have a little bit of rain.”

“It is great to include the children it’s a big day for the kids, and it is all about

role models and working together.

“We believe in leading by example.”

She says they now look forward to some very excit-ing developments which are set to take place at the school over the next year.

Schoolsspringbee a hit

Continued from page 1.By Nikki Papatsoumas

The produce grown will be divided up between any-one who has been involved in working on the garden and they are also looking to involve local schools and kindergartens.

Christian says the great thing about community gar-dens is they allow you to garden with other people, which is not only educational but more fun than gardening on your own.

“It is great for everyone

involved, it is social and gives people access to healthy fresh food while allowing them to learn more about gardening.”

The project has already been given the green light from council having been accepted from the regulatory committee and is now up for public consultation.

Members of the public will have a month to write in to council showing support or concern for the project.

Community advisor for the Wellington City Council Sarah Adams says part of her

role is the urban agricultural portfolio, so she is always in support of groups working on urban agricultural projects.

“I am supportive of any community initiatives around gardening or growing of local food.

“Community gardens are a great way to build more community and it will be nice to get more community involvement in Carrara Park.”

The organising group is currently in the process of applying for funding from a range of sources, and predicts

they will need $5000 to get the project off the ground.

They will be holding a pub-lic meeting on October 20 at Carrara Park from 5pm, for people to come along and hear more about the project.

Christian says they plan to start digging as soon as they get full approval from the council in November.

By Nikki PapatsoumasLocal group, Love Cycling, are

campaigning to make Wellington a cycle safe city.

Love Cycling spokesperson Jill Ford is a Newtown resident who cycles to work in Thorndon every day.

She says by building safe cycle ways for commuting and recrea-tion, the the number of cyclists will increase.

Jill says they have studied suc-cessful models in other cities around the world with a much more integrated transport sys-tem, and they would like to see similar models implemented in

Wellington.She says research conducted

overseas shows that cycling boosts local business, as it is much easier to secure a bike than park a car.

“I live in Newtown and when it’s busy, to park there – forget about it.”

Jill says a large part of their campaign is to see cycling on the agenda in the local body elections.

“We really need to make cycling an election issue, because we are so far behind the eight ball in Wellington.

“If we make it an election issue, we can make Wellington a more cycle friendly city.”

In partnership with Cycle Aware Network they have asked all can-didates in the local body elections to answer four questions relating to cycling in the city.

Questions include, would you remove roadside parking if it was the only way to add safe cycle infrastructure on a key route, and what new cycling development would you most like to see in place.

To see what the candidates have to say about cycling, head to www.lovecycling.co.nz

‘Spring Thing’ celebrates local foodLaura Kavanagh

Massey Journalism Student Growing and eating locally is to

be celebrated in Wellington this October.

Wellington’s Local Food Network has organised an event called the ‘Spring Thing’, which will promote and celebrate local food through a variety of different events from October 12 to 20.

The Local Food Network, headed by Ania Upstill, ran a similar event last April, which was well attended.

Events this October will include a spring festival at Hill Street farm-ers market, cooking classes with Elements Cooking School, local food specials at cafes, and a crafty kai and community compost in Aro Valley.

There will be a compost giveaway donated by Capital Compost, and Urban Harvest will run an online competition asking people to submit Love Letters to their favourite local producer to win a prize.

Charmaine Meyers, of the Local Food Network, says people in Wel-lington have an interest in eating

things that are grown in the region.“I think better to eat locally be-

cause you have more of a connection with the food you are eating and the people who are growing it.

“Eating locally is healthier, fresher and is of an economic benefi t to the area.

The Local Food Network meets once a month and look at different projects to promote food in Wel-lington.

Formed in 2011, the group of Wellingtonians believe that growing, harvesting, and sharing local food is a great way to build a resilient community.

Local food is defi ned as being 120 kilometres away from the Welling-ton City Centre.

The ‘Spring Thing’ is supported by community gardens and the Sustainability Trust.

The Local Food Network hopes the week will inspire more people in Wellington to either produce food themselves or support local food through their purchasing choices.

The Spring Thing runs from October 12 to 20 at various venues around Wellington, For further information, email [email protected]

Wellingtonians will get to celebrate one of the biggest festival tradi-tions in the world, Ocktoberfest, on October 11 and 12.

The cost is $40 per night or $60 for a two day pass.

Ocktoberfest hits Wellington

By Nikki PapatsoumasA list of banned books is on

display at Kilbirnie Library to celebrate Banned Book Week, which this year ran from September 22 to 28.

The annual event which falls at the end of September is a celebration of the freedom to read.

Each year a list of books is released that have been challenged by a group or individual, in an attempt to remove or restrict them from schools, bookstores and libraries.

The Kite Runner, The Hand-maiden’s Tale and The Perks of Being a Wallfl ower are just some of the titles that were challenged over the last year.

These titles may be chal-

lenged around the world, but you will still be able to fi nd them throughout Wellington City Libraries.

Team member customer service Ottilie Smith says she created the display, as a way to encourage teens to read.

“I think it will appeal to them through attracting them to things they fi nd challeng-ing.

“A lot of the stuff in these books relates to what people go through, and it’s important to present something that does happen in real life to someone that might not understand.”

She says she encourages young adults to get out books on the list and fi nd out why they were challenged.

Journalism SchoolIsland Bay Butchery is gearing

up to defend its title as the best sausage makers in the country.

Supreme winners of the Devro New Zealand Sausage Com-petition last year, Island Bay Butchery are ready to do battle again this year.

Owner Don Andrews is look-ing forward to this year’s com-petition.

“There is a bit of luck involved but we think everything in our store is worth a gold medal.”

Over 460 sausages will be eaten and judged at this year’s Devro Sausage Competition running from October 16 to 18 in Auckland.

All the butcheries will be visited fi rst by a mystery shop-per, who selects the sausages to be tasted.

Entries are judged in one of ten categories, which range from

traditional beef, to continental ready-to-eat and gourmet.

Island Bay Butchery will be competing in a number of different categories with popu-lar local favourites including traditional Italian fennel and venison herb and garlic.

Sausages are judged on visual appeal, aroma, fl avour, texture, shrinkage and composition by two judges with a butchery or culinary background.

Don was “blown away” when his smoked Kielbasa sausage won the supreme award last year.

“Only fi ve per cent of com-petitors win medals so it’s a great achievement.

“Every year the quality of the entries gets better

Don describes his sausages as meaty, flavorsome and much healthier than most sausages.

“We give out samples of our sausages to local cafes and they tell us if we need a bit more salt,

or a bit more pepper.”“The public should really be

the judge.” Island Bay Butchery, which

also has a store in Strathmore, will be celebrating its 25th birthday next April, a mile-

stone Don is proud of.“I enjoy all of it, but the

best part is meeting local, happy people with a sense of humour.

“I wouldn’t have a business without them.”

Ready to defend sausage title

Island Bay Butchery were Supreme Winners of the Devro NZ Sausage Competition last year.

StudentLocal Island Bay art

gallery Tapu-Te-Ranga is holding a new exhibition featuring artists paying homage to artists, who have inspired them.

Homage to the Artists will be showing at the gal-lery till early November and showcases a number of different artists paying tribute to their artistic muses.

The exhibition, span-ning 400 years of work, includes sculpture, paint-ing and photography from both New Zealand and international artists.

Curators of the gallery and artists Ian Logan and Rahul Gopinathan wanted to put the exhibition to-gether so they could give something back to the art-ists, who had gone before them.

There is an admiration and respect for those art-ists, Rahul says.

“I’ve always felt you owe a lot to the artists that have come before you.”

Ian says the exhibition is not about copying a piece but being inspired by others,

“We look for artists se-rious about their work and that can range from abstract to realist.

“The wide range means there is something for everyone.”

One of the particular highlights of the exhibition is an original lithograph by surrealist master, Salvador Dali, who combined a fl air for bizarre publicity stunts with an ability to bring his hallucinations and dreams to life in paint.

Ian and Rahul have both contributed works to the exhibition themselves and say Wellington is full of

talented artists. “We have the masters all

around us” Rahul says. Ian has previously been involved with art galleries in the past, both here and overseas and he and Rahul are glad to be part of the Wellington Art scene.

“From Miramar to Ow-hiro Bay, the (artists) are all exciting in their own way,” Rahul says.

Homage to the Artists will be showing at Tapu-Te-Ranga Gallery until November 8 at 302a The Esplanade, Island Bay.

New initiative to reduce burglary

Find us online: www.cookstraitnews.co.nz

By Laura KavanaghMassey Journalism

StudentA new police ini-

tiative focused in the Newtown and Mt Cook area has been instigated to reduce burglary and theft in the area.

Operation Everest is a three week opera-tion designed to raise the public’s aware-ness of property and vehicle theft and to encourage people to be more vigilant about their possessions.

Police spokesman Nick Bohm says crime statistics in the Newtown and Mt Cook area show the

number of burglaries and thefts increase around this time every year.

“We are targeting this area because there are a lot of peo-ple living here, so it’s important we get the message out there.

“These a re the people, who are the victims.”

The operation in-cludes dropping fl yers and brochures around t h e c om mu n i t y, community officers visiting schools and having an increased police presence on the streets.

A Burglar Bait You-Tube clip teaching the

public to be careful of their valuables has had more than 10,000 views.

“The thing is that in the majority of burglaries, many

houses were not locked or were left open.

“We need to get the message out there for people to lock their doors.”

Dear Ed,Something that came to

mind when I read your Sep-tember 23 street interviews about whether our southern suburbs need safer cycling lanes: do people nowadays know that it's illegal to ride bikes on footpaths?

Whether or not they know, a great many bikers now do it with impunity. As they fear the motor vehicles on

the road, a lot of today's cyclists seem to think they have the options of roadway or footpath. They seem not to know and/or care that there's no such legal option: they must use only the roadway, by law.

However, it now seems to be "unlimited tolerance" for any breaches of that "no biking on footpaths" regulation. In recent months, some push-

bikers on footpaths haven't even bothered to steer clear of the feeble little old man that I now am, and have narrowly missed striking me - and without one word of apology. I therefore point out that pushbikers themselves are not always the victims, but sometimes the offenders!

The event, which is now in its eighth year, is the largest of the free monthly buggy walks which are run around the city, and will be held at the Wel-lington Botanic Gardens.

Sport Wellington spokesper-son Amanda Lien says the event is for everyone and anyone.

“It’s a really good event for the whole family, and the walks we do are buggy friendly.”

The monthly buggy walks are an initiative to encourage

parents, grandparents and car-egivers to get active and meet others in their community.

“The social aspect is a huge component, those participating get to meet other mothers.

“It is great to have extra mo-tivation and get some fresh air, its unique and something to look forward to and come back to each month.”

The walk begins at the dell, and on the day there will be entertainment from Fairy Felic-ity for the young ones, and there will be free coffee from Café L’affare and a Southern Cross Garden Bar barbecue for the

adults. Goodie bags will also be given

away on completion of the work.The ‘Trilogy Dress up your

Buggy’ competition will also be back, and participants are encouraged to get creative and decorate their buggy, with fan-tastic prizes up for grabs.

The Sport Wellington Big Annual Buggy Walk will be held on Thursday October 3 from 9.45am.

The walk will commence at 10.30am.

10 Monday September 30, 2013 CANDIDATESThis week the Cook Strait News spoke to the six candidates who are running

for mayor in this year's Local Government Elections. We asked:

Rob Goulden1. I was Born in London, England,

educated in India and New Zealand and have lived in Wellington for over 40 years. I have a Masters Degree in Business Administra-tion (Massey University Executive MBA programme). I have worked in Wellington on and off for the last 37 years in varying roles for the following organisations with 25 plus years of management and governance

experience in NZ Police, NZ Army, United Nations (Former Yugoslavia), Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet, Peace Monitoring Group (Bougainville), Tyco International, and the Wellington hospitality indus-try. I was a Wellington City Council-lor for 12 years and I currently work in the health sector.

2. I am standing on five major platforms for election. I would like to see more jobs and business in Wellington by providing incentives for people to come here and through

supporting innovation and creativity. I will also work towards sorting the council’s current fi nancial situation out. I would like to build resilience in the community. I would also like to focus on encouraging all forms of transport including safer routes and cycle ways, as well as work towards a clean pristine environment.

3.I have been living and working in Wellington in the health sector. I have been involved in numerous community activities and events and helping people with problems and

advice. I am involved in voluntary work as justice of the peace and involved with sport as a rugby referee during the winter, coaching, fi shing as a hobby and cycling and walking.

4. I am passionate about Welling-ton. Wellington needs pragmatic leadership and a mayor who has the passion, drive, enthusiasm, knowl-edge, education and experience to do the job and a person who can build a team to make the city thrive and prosper again.

John Morrison1. I am a former New Zealand

cricketer who was elected to Wel-lington City Council in 1998 as the Onslow Western councillor, and have a proven track record of getting things done as recreation, sport and events portfolio holder. I have also made an enormous contribution during my lifetime to the well-being of the citizens of Wellington. This service contributed largely to being awarded

the New Zealand Order of Merit.2. My top priority is an improve-

ment in the quality of life for all Wellingtonians, and we can achieve this with economic growth. There’ll be better job opportunities, better support for local business and outside investment. My second priority is a balanced transport solution. Buses need roads and people need cars. Business people and tourists need direct fl ights. We need an airport extension and free fl owing roads with places to park.

3. I encourage Wellingtonians of all ages to keep fi t and active, and I engage with large-scale events to maintain Wellington’s reputation as the “events capital”. Some of my recent projects include artifi cial turfs at Wellington schools and the build of the ASB indoor Sports Centre in Kilbirnie. Recent event successes include negotiating with the Warriors to play an NRL game at the Stadium, followed closely by the fi rst-ever AFL club game.

4. Wellingtonians have previously

enjoyed a sense of passion, pride and positivity. But in recent years the fi re’s gone out. We need a strong, decisive and effective mayor. Our city’s best days are still ahead of us, but we need to get going again now. I want to enhance Wellington’s reputation as a world class place to live, work and play and continue to contribute to our stunning and healthy natural environ-ment. There’s a better, brighter future for Wellington but it needs someone with my track record of getting things done as mayor.

Karunanidhi Muthu

1. My background is in Interna-tional Business, Law and Investment. I am a family man and a Barrister. I have studied in New Zealand and in England, including at the prestigious University of Oxford.

2. First, economic growth. The others are 1) Review council fi-

nances, reduce debt and cap rates; 2) regional amalgamation for better productivity and effi ciency; 3) Better infrastructure and transport system for future needs while addressing current requirements; 4) World class sea and airport; 5) Livable, safe and connected city; 5) Thriving art and cultural centre; 6) Create a fi lm and media city in the Peninsula and 7) Proactive Earthquake preparedness.

3. I have become a Rotarian and

embarked on getting involved in many of their inspiring community works. I have been attending Ethnica and EPIC events. I have been encour-aging various community leaders to take part in the local elections and hoping to inspire a generation of leaders to come forward and lead our communities and country.

4. My vision for Wellington is to be an inclusive, resilient and vibrant economic powerhouse. We need a

mayor with skills and business acu-men to compete with Auckland and rest of the world. As your mayor, I will lay the foundation for Wellington to be an international fi nancial hub within two decades. I believe I have the passion, qualifi cations, experi-ence and global connections to make our wonderful city even better. So, I request the voters to be brave and make a bold choice by voting 1 for Muthu for mayor and eastern ward.

Celia Wade-Brown

1. I am a director of a successful small Wellington IT consultancy founded in 1985. I’ve worked for IBM and Databank. I became Mayor in 2010, assigning all Councillors responsibility and have led the Smart Capital vision with a strong focus on disaster resilience.

I was born in London and grew up

in a council fl at. I graduated from Nottingham University. I enjoy kay-aking, reading, watching football and theatre. Alastair and I live in Island Bay, with our dog and chickens. We have two adult sons.

2. Good jobs by promoting Wel-lington as a great place to do busi-ness, focussing on our strengths of software, fi lm, education, disaster resilience and design.

More warm dry affordable housing. We’ll upgrade council housing and

lead joint housing projects. Rent-to-buy projects will enable people to get a foot on the property ladder. A WOF will raise the quality of private rentals.

Better transport: Direct long haul fl ights. Bus priority lanes heralding routes for rapid electric transport. Downtown lower speeds and safe cycling routes.

Care for our reserves and coast, planting two million trees by 2020.

3. As well as political leadership

and governance of several Wellington trusts, I’ve opened the new Churton Park Community Centre, planted trees from Tawa to Berhampore, supported Indian, Filipino, Tongan, Scottish and African community events, collected for Wellington Free and The Samaritans, and cleaned up graffi ti in Newtown.

4. Our progressive capital needs modern leadership.

I’m honest, open to new ideas and willing to serve the public.

Jack Yan1. I have degrees from Victoria

University in business, marketing and law. I started my own design business at 15, working with an agency in what was Sturdee Street. That led me to becoming New Zealands fi rst digital typeface designer. I went on to be an early online publisher in 1990, created the fashion title Lucire (New Zealands first commercial online fashion magazine) in 1997,

and helped set up the Medinge Group branding think-tank in Sweden in the 2000s. I’ve always been a bit ahead of the curve.

2. First, we need to grow busi-nesses and jobs. From the start of my campaign in April, I published a manifesto (backjack2013.com), which involves identifying our high-growth fi rms with criteria developed by Victoria University. We also need to build on our innovative and creative sectors. Secondly, we need to engage with every community,

not just special interests, to tap in to our collective potential. Thirdly, I will ensure council is united, and that ratepayers will be able to make us accountable, by issuing a plan for the next triennium before Christmas 2013.

3. I’ve raised funds for CanTeen, collected for the Samaritans, worked for Business Mentors New Zealand (since 2006), acted as a Victoria University Alumni Mentor for one student, worked at the Downtown Community Ministrys annual book

fair, judged Miromoda (which I’ve also done for a few years), and I’m sure there are more!

4. We can’t have politics as usual. I’ve come from the very sectors we say we need to grow. Wellington needs to be a global city, one that’s connected to the top 40 cities in the world, where we share our expertise and show that we are more creative and collaborative, innovative and independent. That’s the vision I have for our world-class city and that’s what I’ll achieve for us.

1. What is your background? 2. What are some of the key issues you would like to address? 3. How have you been involved in your local community for the last six months? 4. Why do you believe you should be elected as mayor of Wellington?

Nicola Young1. Born and educated in Wellington.

Worked at The Evening Post as a journalist, then spent 20 years in England where I worked in London's fi nancial markets and raised my fam-ily; returned to Wellington in 1996 where I set up my own company, specialising in political strategy and writing.

2. Economic regeneration, focusing on Wellington's strengths: brainy city, huge potential in Information Communications and Technology & creative sectors & tourism potential as New Zealand's capital; ensuring rates are value-for-money and not wasted on vanity projects like the doomed ‘Alternative Giving’ which cost $40,000 and raised $1000; re-building city's relationship with cen-tral Government; bringing back the

city's spark; improving quality of life in Wellington – parking, including the suburbs; lighting up dark lanes & buildings; better bus and weather shelters; improved bus services; and stopping ‘double-dipping’ by coun-cillors taking second salaries when appointed to Council-Controlled Organisations.

3. Door-knocking and meeting voters; writing articles about Wel-lington for Tommy's magazine;

active participant in city’s arts and heritage sector (including Mount Street Cemetery's restoration); writ-ing community newsletter for my apartment complex. (31 words)

4. I can provide strong leadership, common sense, decisiveness, po-litical nous, fl air, energy, enthusiasm, new ideas and have a history of building relationships.

FLASHBACK to....September 13 2004

Here at last

According to the Roxy Cinema web-site, the original movie theatre in Miramar, the CAPITOL Theatre, was built in 1928 to screen silent fi lms.

The cinema screened its last fi lm in 1964, before the building was converted into shopping mall called CAPITOL court.

The Camperdown Studios group later purchased the property with the inten-

tion of reviving it as a cinema, but the project was postponed due to production of movies such as the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

Architect drawings were being looked over from as early as 2006, and with the project fi nally underway, the Roxy Cinema was open for business on April 7, 2011.

A Wellington concert is raising money to support mental health awareness.

The Like Minds concert at Bodega is a fundraising event for the Mental Health Foundation in New Zealand, to help raise awareness and lessen stigma around mental health is-sues, particularly within the arts community.

The concert will feature a number of performers including Samuel Scott & Luke Buda from The Phoe-nix Foundation, Aaron Tokona from Cairo Knife Fight and AhoriBuzz, Barnaby Weir from The Black Seeds and Fly My Pretties, and

Adam Ladley and Holly Beals from Family Cactus.

Event director Oliver Labone says almost everyone has been touched by mental illness at some point in their lives, whether it be through mental experience, or seeing family and friends struggle.

“Like Minds is about reducing the stigma around mental illness, getting people to talk about the issues, and raising funds for all the great work that the Mental Health Foundation of New Zealand do in the community.”

Adam Ladley from Family Cactus says aside from the great music, the cause is a really important one.

“Being musicians and being in

SPORTS & FITNESS

When starting an exercise plan, we are often feeling unfi t, out of shape and in need of a boost.

The idea of wrapping a measuring tape around your middle will probably fi ll you with dread.

Do your best to set these feelings aside, as monitoring your improvements is vital to assessing your progress, and will ultimately become highly motivating.

In addition to recording your physical measurements, it is also important to test your fi tness levels.

Too often, we use weight loss as the sole

measure of success in an exercise based plan.

Your fi tness will increase very quickly and these improvements can only be acknowledged and celebrated if you are testing yourself.

Below are some examples of quick, easy tests, which you can do at home with little or no equipment.

How many crunches can you do in one minute?

How many press-ups can you do in one minute?

How far can you walk / jog in 12 minutes?

Circumference measurements: Waist / hips / anywhere you would like to see progress.

Record these results and measurements and aim to re-test yourself every 2 weeks.

Schedule these dates into your diary, if you stick to your plan, you should start seeing results.

These milestones will help provide the motivation you need to continue on your health and fi tness journey.

You could also look at hiring the services of a fi tness professional to provide that extra motivation and accountability, and to help

A measure of success

you design a personalised fi tness test. This will monitor relevant measures of success

based on your specifi c goals.

Drawing inspiration from the Before I Die wall on Wilson Street, Newtown locals are also offering their opinions on what they would like to see an empty store transformed into.

Newtown local David Wilcock encourages to people to come along to the old Flight Centre store on Riddiford Street, and share on post-it notes their very own ‘I would like to be’.

Some ideas already include a place to sell and swap kids clothes, a kid’s space and a health food shop.

David says after he has collected all the notes, he will take the suggestions to the property owner.

Sports brief

By Dave CramptonWellington Paralympic swim-

mer Mary Fisher is among the world’s best vision–impaired swimmers, with six world re-cords and a host of international medals.

From Newtown, Ms Fisher, 20, brought home a silver medal and fi ve golds – some in Oceania re-cord times - at the Paralympics held in Montreal last month.

As well as the expected 200 metre Individual Medley (IM) – in which she holds the world record – she also won the 50 metres freestyle, and the 100 metres backstroke, butterfl y and freestyle events. Her silver came in the 400 metres freestyle.

Having both her mother and aunt at some events was a bonus.

“It was an extra confidence boost,” she says, “She got to see the 200 IM record.”

The Massey University student has a genetic eye condition, and was born with 10 per cent vi-sion, steadily losing her remain-ing vision as a teenager.

She competes in the S11 blind category and while swimming,

is tapped on the head with a long tapper to alert her progress towards each end of the pool.

As some swimmers have light perception at Paralympic level, blacked out swimming goggles are worn to ensure equality.

The Capital club swimmer learned to swim at age eight, and fi rst competed at age nine.

Coach Craig Albery says he had tweaked Fisher's train-ing to a more aerobic-based programme in March, halving training sessions from 10 a week.

It appears to have paid off.“Five gold medals and a silver

later – yeah, you’d say it would have,” he says.

“She’s a shining example. If you put the right amount of work in, you’ll reap the rewards.”

Fisher also competed at the Paralympics in London last year, collecting a world record winning 2:46.91 gold medal in the 200 metres IM, two silvers and a bronze.

Earlier this year, she was awarded the Member of the New Zealand order of Merit in

the New Year’s Honours list for services to swimming.

However Fisher is not just per-forming at international events.

Along with Canterbury swim-mer Sophie Pascoe, whose left leg was amputated below the knee after an accident, she broke

a 50 metre butterfl y S11 world record at last year’s national championships, with a time of 33:1 seconds.

“We both broke our classifi ed records at the same time,” Ms Fisher says.

“That’s unusual in the same

race.”Fisher plans to compete at the

2016 games in Rio de Janerio."The biggest thing is having

confidence I can achieve my dreams.”

Fisher among the best

By Nikki PapatsoumasLast week primary students

from schools around Wel-lington participated in a range of sports for the annual central zone winter tournament.

The tournament, which was held at The ASB Stadium in Kilbirnie, is aimed at encour-aging all kids to participate in sports, regardless of their skill or ability.

A range of sports were offered to the year fi ve to eight students including ultimate frisbee, mini

ball, futsal and volleyball.Organiser Keith Hutton says it

is an opportunity to give every student a go.

“It gives children an opportu-nity to have a go at a range of different sports, and have a go at something they haven’t done before.”

The tournament was run in conjunction with Primary Sport Wellington, and the Lions Foundation gave a grant to cover the cost of hiring the venue.

Encouraging kids to get active

Wellington City Councillor John Morrison and Silver Fern Irene Van Dyke have a game of hockey, with students from Clyde Quay School.
