SpeedlimitsBuses and Parking major problem for child care centres

By Aaron Meredith

Speeding buses and a lack of parking are two of the problems facing teachers, parents and children in early childhood centres in Wainuiomata.

There is little to no road signs outside of many centres in the valley warning drivers to slow down.

Jack and Jill Kindergarten has been fi ghting with New Zealand Buses for many years, fi nally asking Hutt South MP Trevor

Mallard for help.It is only since he got involved

the bus company has responded.The kindergarten has two signs

warning drivers of the centre, but these were only put up after a child was hit by a car a few years back.

“It is only a matter of time before someone gets hit again.” says head teacher Chris Moses.

“I understand the drivers are on a schedule, but they are going so fast.”

Comradeship and mates were the themes of this year’s Anzac celebrations in Wainuiomata.

Hundreds of people turned out at the cenotaph on Queen Street to commemorate Anzac day on Monday.

The celebrations marked the 101st year since the Anzacs originally landed at Gallipoli.

It also marked the centenary of the fi rst Anzac service, one of which was held over the hill in Petone.

The commemorations in Wainuiomata began with a parade of veterans and groups around Wainuiomata who marched to show respect for the fallen.

Wainuiomata Valley RSA president, Bart Bartlett, gave an opening speech and introduced some of the Wainuio-mata Choir who sang as members of the Wainuiomata community laid wreaths at the cenotaph.

Hundreds gather for Anzac Day

Kauri Mahuika marched in the parade holding the photo of his great grandfather who fought in WWII.

Wainuiomata High School’s top athletes were recognised for their achievements throughout the year at last week’s sports awards.

Awards were handed out to ath-letes in all sports, many of whom have represented Wellington and New Zealand.

Sportsman of the year was given to Raymond Seumanu for his achievements in boxing, winning multiple national titles as well as the Australian Golden Gloves.

He became one of the youngest winners of the award.

The sportswomen of the year award was awarded to Sieni Samau for her achievements in a wide range of sports.

Sieni was also the top player in volleyball, girls rugby, was the top scorer in football, was the best back in league, played for Wainuiomata in club rugby and league, going on to represent Wellington in both sports.

On top of that Sieni was also selected for the New Zealand rugby league Kiwi Ferns side to play Australia next year

The MC, Phillip Kauika who

says that the school has achieved to a high standard this year in all sports.

“Many teams have made fi nals, won championships or have represented the school at regional tournaments.”

Teams who won their grades included the girls cricket team, the football fi rst XI, teams two and three in netball, the boys fi rst xv in rugby and the junior boys league team.

This year was also the fi rst year that Ignite Sports presented two special awards, both recognising character in an athlete and coach.

Trust co-ordinator Kevin Goldsbury says that the awards are given to those that embodied Ignite Sport’s values.

“Despite the attention that poor behaviour and bad sportsman-ship attracts, there are great examples of athletes who demon-strate positive character in sport and coaches who effectively model it,” Kevin says.

This year’s winners were Paa Mailangi who won the character athlete award and Ngaire Blake who won the character coach award.

Both showed great passion for

Sporting achievements recognised

their sports and teams, helping their teams achieve their best.

Kalena Hura was also recog-nised by the school, receiving the principals award after 20 years’ service to school netball.

Other award winners were Stephen Graham, Joel Carman, Atiria Semmens, Jade Hum-

phrey and Brooke Tauaneai.School Principal Martin Isberg

says he was not surprised by the achievements of the students this year.

“We have spent the last three or four years changing the culture of the school, and the results this year are recognition of this.”

One sure sign of summer arriving is the call of the shin-ing cuckoo, a series of upward notes followed by one or more long downward slurring notes. The birds have come back to New Zealand to breed after wintering over in the Solomon Islands. They can be heard calling from forest, scrub and farmland, which are also the habitats of their host birds, the grey warbler. Like cuckoos around the world the shining cuckoo lays its eggs in another bird’s nest.

Also called the bronze shining cuckoo, scientifi c name Chryso-coccyx lucidas, or in Maori the Pipi�Wharauroa, this sparrow-sized bird is usually not seen due to its cryptic markings and its size. It’s New Zealand’s only iridescent green bird and has green and white bands across its chest. The shining cuckoo lives on grubs and insects, including hairy caterpillars and ladybirds that other birds avoid.

It lays a single egg in the nest of a laying grey warbler, and the chick when it hatches ejects

the warbler eggs and chicks. The host then seems not to notice it’s parenting another species and continues to raise the chick. Fortunately for the grey warbler species, it has usually already raised a brood in August/September before the cuckoo arrives back in New Zealand.

A few years ago we heard a sound from the bush that could have been a bird or an insect, but even with the neighbours’ help we couldn’t fi nd what it was coming from. One day

however, I heard it in the beech tree outside the window, and looked out to see the cuckoo chick flitting from branch to twig noisily demanding food from a smaller and very busy grey warbler.

The two major threats to the shining cuckoo are fl ying into windows and being taken by cats. You can hear its call and learn more about it here. www.radionz.co.nz/nation-al/programmes/thiswayup/collections/birdwatching/shiningcuckoo

Anzac Day has given Wai-nuiomata the opportunity to remember those who never returned from WWI.

President of the Wainuio-mata Historical Society, Gavin Wallace, published a book two years ago on the men remembered on the cenotaph.

Twenty three young men from Wainuiomata are re-membered on the cenotaph on Queen Street for their efforts in WWI.

Five men named on the cenotaph - Walter Evelyn Bulliman, Robert Burrow, William Burrow, John Bur-row and Ernest Frederick Evers-Swindell – never

came home.Robert, William and John

were brothers.Robert and William were

farm hands before they were called up and John was believed to be a shepherd.

William was killed in ac-tion in 1916, Robert in 1917 and John in 1918.

Walter was married to a woman named Doris and had a young son before he went to war. Doris was pregnant at the time.

Walter was given leave to meet his new child however died on the way to meet her from Spanish Infl uenza in 1918.

The last of the men, Ernest,

was 21-years-old when he volunteered for the WIR.

He had been charged with absence without leave in 1916 and had been given 21 days Field Punishment no. 2.

He was killed in action in 1917.

Bart said $1261.10 had been raised in Wainuiomata during the national Poppy Appeal the previous week.

Inspector Donna Laban gave the annual Anzac address and referred to courage and comrade-ship as being important parts of the Kiwi lifestyle and in the wars.

She said courage was important at all times; not just time at war.

“Courage [can be] the good old kiwi way of giving everything a go.”

She ended the address with a

poem; ‘Mates’, by Duncan Butler, which celebrated having mates in the fi eld during times of war.

Following the address the com-munity gathered under the sun to sing both the New Zealand and the Australian national anthems to celebrate the comradeship formed over a century ago.

Have your say - What are your opinions on Wainuiomata potentially gaining another liquor store? Let us know at [email protected].

By Emma McAuliff e

The Wainuiomata Ware-house may be set to close in February following a staff meeting last week.

Following the rumours the Oyster Group, who manage the mall on behalf of the owner, announced their plans for redeveloping the entire Shopping Centre in 2017.

A spokesperson for the

Centre said the owners were “confi dent the redeveloped centre will provide a better trading environment for all tenants, including The Warehouse, and is positive the redevelopment work will enable The Warehouse to revisit its current decision to close.”

Hutt City Council lor, Campbell Barry, said while this was promising, Wai-nuiomata had been let down

by promises for redevelop-ment before.

“I won’t be convinced until it’s a done deal,” he said.

Hutt South MP, Trevor Mallard said he was “for-ever hopeful” in redevelop-ment plans.

“But I want to see builders on site before I accept that it’s going to happen.”

Oyster Group development manager, Richard Taffe, said the group was close to

securing an agreement with the existing anchor stores which will be followed by a requirement to get a minor variation to the existing resource consent and the required building consents.

“Once these are in place the owners are confident that redevelopment works can commence,” he said.

The Warehouse group was approached for comment but did not respond.

Mall revamp plans again

Running EventBy Emma McAuliff e

A new liquor store is set to open on the Strand and some members of the community are not happy about it.

After the news broke last Tuesday that a new liquor store was set to open, residents took to Facebook to complain about the decision calling the idea “stupid”, “ridiculous” and the “last thing Wainuiomata needs”.

On Thursday morning around 30-40 people from organisations in the area had a meeting to discuss their options surrounding the issue.

Wainuiomata Pharmacy co-owner Evan Choie said many business own-ers were disappointed in the decision.

“Obviously we’re all opposing the new bottle store. We don’t need an-other bottle store. It could cause more problems for the Strand. Would this fuel the problem? It’s a huge concern for everyone.”

Bottle-O store owner Hayden Wilby, acknowledged his viewpoint was biased due to being in direct com-petition with the potential new store but nonetheless had his reservations.

“I think we’re over saturated with bottle stores. The margin is already tight. Eventually it’s going to put someone out of business.”

Hutt South MP, Trevor Mallard, said it was a question of having too many

bottle stores already. He said there would be a public

meeting on May 9 to discuss the issue further.

Hutt City Councillors for the Wainuiomata Ward also expressed concern.

Councillor Campbell Barry said he thought there were already too many bottle stores in the valley and questioned the location of a potential new store.

“The location is questionable be-cause there’s a medical centre across the road, a chemist next door, two churches across the road and a quite new playground there as well.”

However, he said the any new business owner had a right to open a new store without attacks from the community.

“[They’re] entitled to put an ap-plication in. [The community needs to] respect this person is allowed to apply.”

Residents are able to have their say on whether they think there should be another bottle store in the community by making direct submissions to the district licensing committee.

Trevor Mallard’s offi ce on Queen Street has templates for submissions currently available.

Submissions must be received by early May.

Kids had the chance to scavenge for clues about the natural world at the Wainuiomata Community Library last Thursday.

Around a dozen children turned up to “be astounded” at the library and learnt about different animals as part of the free event.

The event started with a story time

before moving on to a quiz, a jigsaw, a guess who and then the scavenger hunt.

The librarians said it gave the children the chance to learn about animals and the natural world.

Children and Teens Librarian Alexia Herrera said the event was one of a few the library was hosting these school holidays as part of their “Be Astounded” programme. inbrief news

The Wainuiomata Stroke Club had a royal surprise during their celebrations for the Queen’s birthday last Thursday.

The Queen herself made an appearance during their high tea birthday party to dine with the “commoners”.

Queen Elizabeth, some-times known better as Hutt City Councillor Margaret Willard, said the birthday celebrations in Wainuiomata were wonderful and she was very lucky to be able to spend her 90th with the Stroke Club.

“It is so nice to be here in Wainuiomata. It’s good to see all the voluntary work that goes on here. It is very good.”

Members of the stroke club celebrated the Queen’s 90th birthday with their finest china and hats and reminisced about of the real Queen Elizabeth II’s past visits to New Zealand.

Secretary of the Stroke Club Noeline Colman said the day had been “lovely” and the group had Gabriel Tupou in to sing for them earlier in the afternoon.

“It’s been so lovely. People have been telling stories all day,” she said.

YOUth Inspire are looking for volunteers as they move forward with plans in 2016.

The organisation is based at the Wainuiomata Library and works to support young people who are struggling to fi nd work or tertiary education during their high school years and beyond.

Manager Bronson Wharehinga said the organisation provides support and connections and helps young people help themselves.

Bronson said the organisation had a few plans going forward to engage with the community and said the whole community could benefi t from young people gaining work and feeling confi dent with themselves.

“It’s way bigger than getting this person a job,” he said.

New youth pathways coordi-nator Awhina Valiama agreed and added, “it’s bigger than the individual”.

“We want them to add value to their community. They’re our

future,” she said.They said they needed volunteers

to help engage with the community at events and plans going forward.

These events include Whanau days and weekly catch ups in the Wainuiomata Shopping Centre.

Bronson said this was to ensure there would be “an entire network” supporting youth finding their future.

Awhina and Bronson said anyone who wanted to volunteer could do so by visiting them at their offi ce in the library.

“Lower Hutt is a great place to live, work and play and we are committed to making it even better. To ensure we are meeting our communities’ aspirations and dealing with any issues we need to know what people think. The Annual Plan submission process is an important way to do this.”

The consultation document

‘Growing Our City’, which includes a submission form, is available online at huttcity.govt.nz/annualplan or the Wai-nuiomata Library, Council’s building on Laings Road and Hutt City i-SITE.

Residents can also make a submission online at huttcity.govt.nz/annualplan, email feedback to [email protected], write to Council and deliver or post comments to Wainuiomata Library or Council’s building at 30 Laings Road, Lower Hutt.

Dear Ed, Never, since Trevor Mallard has been MP for Hutt South has our Labour MP faced a serious challenge from a National candidate. Chris Bishop is working hard to win Hutt South and I have no doubt to get as many votes for the party list for National. What is not known to

many voters about the lobbying that is going on is an arrival of Austral-ian Barton Deakin which Chris Bishop’s partner Jenna Raeburn is one of the founding directors of... In a democratic Society there needs to be strong laws about electoral spending so things are done on an equal basis

so we all have voice in parliament. Chris Bishop has told me he is running an election campaign and a question I like to ask Mr Bishop is, Barton Deakin behind Chris Bishop Campaign to oust our local Labour MP Trevor Mallard?

Wainuiomata has a new champion and her name is Esther Venning.

Esther started her role as Wainuiomata’s ‘Making Stuff Happen Champion’ for the Wainuiomata De-velopment Plan Steering Group two weeks ago.

She said so far her job had entailed familiarising herself with the people and places within the com-munity and was delighted people had taken to her so quickly.

“I feel so at home here. I’m delighted to be in-cluded,” she said.

She said she was keen to take on her role as cham-pion.

“[The title] really fi ts in with what we’re all about and what Wainuiomata is

all about. Wainuiomata is a community that goes out and makes things hap-pen. [I’m here to] get my sleeves rolled up.”

She said she was keen to hear from members of the community about what their vision for Wainuio-mata was and how she can help them make it a reality.

“We’ve been asking peo-ple what they love about Wainuiomata and what they can do to make it better. We’re really keen for people to get involved and fi nd out what they’re keen to collaborate on.”

What do you love about Wainuiomata and what could you do to make it even better? Get in touch at the ‘Wainuiomata 2035’ Facebook page or contact Esther on 021 060 3514.

The Hutt Valley could become a ‘Technology Valley’ if the community gets on board with an upcoming public meeting.

National List MP Chris Bish-op is hoping to raise the profi le of technology in the Hutt Val-ley with a public meeting next month.

Mr Bishop said he had been a big supporter of technology growing businesses in Lower Hutt since his election in 2014.

“Lower Hutt is a bit of a hidden secret. The aim of the public meeting is about raising the profi le. It’s all about valley jobs and growth,” he said.

He said Lower Hutt had a range of high tech businesses few people knew about- includ-ing Callahan Innovations just over the hill in Gracefi eld.

Mr Bishop said he would encourage anyone to attend his meeting and he hoped to get at least two speakers from the technology industry to be there.

“We’d like to get some ideas from the community on what they think Technology Valley should look like,” he said.

The meeting will take place at the Mind Lab in Petone which is only the second of its kind in

Technology valley on the cards

New Zealand.Mr Bishop said it had been

built as a hub for teaching stu-dents and teachers how to use technology in the classroom.

Technology Valley will take place on May 16 from 7pm at The Mind Lab by Unitec, 25 Victoria St Petone

Lower Hutt has renewed its memorandum of understanding with the sister city Taizhou, China. Both cities will develop mutual trade and economic development opportunities - specifi cally in education, new technologies and tourism. Mayor Ray Wallace and Taizhou Deputy Mayor Mr. He Rong signed the agreement on Thursday 21 April. Mr Wallace said, "Taizhou have been good friends of Hutt City for over a decade now and we're excited to have made this connection with local businesses and start-ups, giving them the opportunity to explore global markets.

A very special Earth Day took place at the Rimutaka Forest Park last Friday morning.

Earth Day is celebrated on April 22 every year to take action on important issues like climate change and take time to do good for the environment.

On Friday, the American Embassy visited the park for the second time to celebrate the nature and experiences the park had to offer.

Around 30 people turned up on the day to plant trees in the Catchpool Valley and take part in pest trapping.

The day was extra special for the American Embassy as it tied in with the United States celebrating 100 years of National Park Services.

Member of the Rimutaka Forest Park Trust, Peter Cooper, in his welcoming speech said it was “wonderful” to see everyone.

“We’ve got a smorgasbord of the natural world on offer today,” he said.

Hutt City Councillor, Margaret Wil-lard attended the event and thanked the Trust for all of their hard work over the years in maintaining “Lower Hutt’s top tourist destination”.

The fi rst Earth Day was celebrated on April 22, 1970 in the US.

There have been celebrations across the globe since 1990.

It is estimated 1 billion people would take part in Earth Day in 2016.

Over a hundred people were granted New Zealand citizenship at a special ceremony in Lower Hutt last week.

The ceremony for the 153 new citizens to Lower Hutt took place at Hutt City Church.

Hutt City Mayor Ray Wallace, who offi ciated at the ceremony, said the new citizens had come from 31 different countries.

He said Lower Hutt had always embraced its multiculturalism.

“We very much encourage you to take part in the life at Lower Hutt. We’re all enriched by your presence here,” he said.

He said he commended everyone for wanting to become New Zealanders and the new citizens were “extremely intelligent” for choosing to reside in the suburbs around Hutt City.

Wainuiomata resident, Gabriel Tupou, sang the National Anthem following the ceremony. The new citizens take the oath

The Lower Hutt Memorial RSA hosted their annual breakfast at the Petone Club on Anzac Day where people came in for a bit of rum in their coffee and some food between services.

Over fi ve hundred people attended the breakfast, waiting in a long line to get their hands on hash browns and bacon, following dawn services.

Lower Hutt Memorial RSA Presi-dent, Alison Sexton said, "There weren't as many at dawn parade as last year, but it was still great attendance."

Major General Anthony George remembered growing up spending Anzac day in Dunedin with his father, a veteran of the Second World War.

“My son wears his grandfather’s medals today. They’re pretty standard issue for the Second World War…and like a typical serviceman these

were just thrown in an old cigar box,” George said.

The medals are mounted stiffly in ‘court style’- George had them put together at the National Army Museum in Waiouru.

After breakfast, many guests headed out to the Petone Railway Station to see the recently restored steam train, Passchendaele AB 608 on its way to Wellington.

The Petone Station was the site of the first Anzac commemorations held on April 25, 1916, and hosted by the Petone and Hornsby Railway workshops in honour of the fallen railway men that were killed in the First World War.

A hundred years later, services for Anzac day are still held at this historic site.

Services speaker David Gordon said it was just great to see such a turn out from people around the Hutt Valley.

Several blows of the whistle later, and a billow of grey smoke, Pass-chendaele’s side rods began to turn

its wheels and the train began to leave the station.

Decorated members of the armed forces walked about the train plat-form, their medals catching the light.

Some older veterans wore their medals ‘swing style’, pinned freely to their uniforms.

Major General George said, “I’ll always remember when soldiers were marching you could hear the medals, jangling as they marched down the street.”

Over one third of New Zealand veterans alive today are pre-Vietnam war heroes.

With a new generation of veterans coming through, Mr George said he expected Anzac commemorations to start refl ecting on more modern campaigns.

“The next focus I’m sure will be the Second World War and we’re rapidly running out of those veterans,” said Mr George, though their medals may be uncovered in cigar boxes for years to come.

Students dressed up as ghosts and gob-

A young Wainuiomata resident will be taking on the National stage in underwater hockey this year.

Awatea Randall has been selected to play in the New Zealand Under 18 national underwater hockey team.

The HIBS student said he found out a fortnight ago he made the team after three tough trials in Auckland and Wellington.

Awatea, 16, said he had been playing underwater hockey for fi ve years and he was excited to have made the national team.

“It feels really good knowing all my hard work has paid off,” he said.

He said he played for his school team and the Wellington team as well as the national team.

Awatea said there were six boys selected for the national team from Wellington.

He said his interest in underwater hockey came from his history of free diving off the Coast Road beach with his dad.

“I’m a free diver. We all free dive off the coast so the interest came from there.”

He said he currently trained four days a week on top of trainings and games he plays for his clubs.

Awatea said the fi rst tournament would be a trans-Tasman tourna-ment in Hobart in a few months’ time and his next task would be to fundraise for it.

His mother, Hannah, said she was very proud of what her son had achieved.

“He’s sacrificed lots of time.

He’s made that commitment and he’s just stuck at it which has been great.”

National tournament for Wainui lad

The British Navy invented underwater hockey in the 1950's to keep their divers fit and to improve their ability to move and work effi ciently under water. Similar to regular hockey, U n d e r w a t e r H o c k e y involves getting a puck to the goal using a “pusher”, its main diff erence lies in the game being played under water.

Under Water Hockey Facts

The Premier 3 women's team took to the fi eld against harbour city on Saturday.

The team said they knew this was going to be a tough encounter and this was proved from the very beginning of the game.

The team was rewarded for their strong attack from with a goal by Kirsten O'Donnell.

Soon after Wainuiomata’s goal

Harbour City scored their fi rst and only goal.

The score remained 1-1 right up until the last minute of the game when Kazmia Morgan-Rako scored a great goal from the post giving Wainui the win, 2-1.

Team captain, Jo Martin, said she was “really proud of how the team never gave up and kept playing hard till the end”.

“The team was really pleased to take away the win and the vital 3 points. We'd like to thank the sup-porters who come out and watch our games and support our club.

“The team faces Karori next weekend which will no doubt be another tough game.”

The Reserve 3 team had the weekend off as the opposition had defaulted.

Sports Hub Update

The plan explainedWHAT IT WILL BRING - A modern new facility will mean shared use more community and family friendly environments and a hive of activity for sport. Key playing spaces will be close by, more people watching the play. we are now fi nalising the concept plan, meeting with stakeholders and becoming clear about funding processes, planning and time lines. there will be sharing of social space across a greater number of sports but still space set aside for each clubs prize giving.

WHAT WILL IT COST - the total project cost initially is $6 million dollars and to achieve this as part of our deal with the Hutt City Council we need to show that some clubrooms will be retired and land released.

WHAT IT WILL MEAN - Our feasibility study company recommendations are to move Rugby, Squash, Rugby League, Football and Bowls (with on site changing room facilities) into the new expanded facility with fi elds and greens close by. To demolish (and or sell) the rugby clubrooms, Squash facility and to keep and enhance the Football Facility on Richard Prouse Park as an indoor training space, and the Rugby League facility as change rooms for all sports on Fred Wise Park.

What's happened thus far Feasibility study is complete

Global leisure Group have completed our full feasibility study on the types of facilities, the location and recommended approach.the outcomes are:- One new clubrooms and social space able to accommodate 300 people divided by fold away operable walls, various other spaces.- Location on Frederick Wise Park.- Number one fi elds, greens courts on Frederick Wise surround the facility.- Enclosed and open artifi cial turf space.- Outdoor synthetic bowls green.

Next StepsFinalising the plan, concepts areas and spaces. Fingers Crossed we can expect to meet the challenge of providing a Sports Hub by 2018. Come back to your club committees with an implementation plan showing how we transition the clubs, explaining changes nothing will change until facilities are built and there are new facilities to go to. Submit the proposal to Hutt City Council annual planning process.

The Benefi tsThe are many benefi ts with Sports-villes/hubs.

- Clubs will have new facilities and two organisations focused on maintaining and developing them (The Community Funding Trust set up by Hutt City Council and Wainuiomata Sportsville Inc) this will allow each club to focus on their sport, programmes for example.

- New facilities will focus on training spaces, new surfaces and better quality fi elds. Where things are new number always increase.

We need your help to make this project a reality. Ask all the questions you need to ask, fully understand what the Wainuiomata Sportsville Inc/Sports Hub will bring to Wainuiomata and get behind the initiative. Have the conversations with other club members, we appreciate there are some big changes ahead and some people don't like change. Consider the following comments:1. With this proposal we are looking to our Sporting future.2. Your Club boards are clearly saying that a new model is needed and facilities as well to be sustainable.3. We need to do more for our young people.

What you can do

WATCH OUT FOR THE SECOND UPDATE!

One of Wainuiomata High School’s best loved volunteers was rewarded for all her hard efforts last week.

Moana Kuma was nominated by Wainuiomata High School’s Sport Coordinator, Peter Cowan, to receive the award from Sport Wellington for the hard work and time she dedicated to various sports at the school including rugby and netball.

Moana was awarded a $2000 voucher to spend on sports gear by Lotto and Sport Wellington as part of their monthly Local Sport Makers initiative.

She was surprised with a make-shift ceremony at the pre-season tournament for Lower Hutt high

school rugby teams.The award was given following

the Wainuiomata First XV’s win against HIBS, 17-12.

Presenter of the award was vol-unteer strategy senior advisor for Sport Wellington, Ken Allen, who told the group “sport would be lost without people like [Moana]”.

She said the award was “unex-pected”.

“It’s great. So unexpected. It’s really humbling. Thanks so much guys,” she said.

Peter was also given a certifi cate for nominating her and the team was given a pack of goodies.

Volunteer rewarded

The NBA showed why sport is so magical.On one day, Kobe Bryant bows out after 20 years as the leading man of the Los Angeles Lakers with a magical 60-point curtain call.Just down the road, the Golden State Warriors broke a sin-gle season winning record many thought would never be beaten.The Warriors beat the Memphis Grizzlies at home to finish a regular season with a 73 win, nine loss record, beating the 1995/96 Chicago Bulls 72-10 season.Both games were played at the same time so I had to multitask as best a man can to keep up though I was initially more in-terested in the Warriors pursuit of history than Kobe’s farewell.That was until Kobe got the hot hand as they say in basketball.Kobe’s Lakers had been awful this year - a stark contrast from their rich, successful history.

The 37-year-old turned back the clock at the Staples Center, surrounded by A-list celebri-ties like Jack Nicholson and David Beckam and former team mates like Shaquille O ‘Neal.A more fitting ending could not have been written by Hol-lywood writers just down the street.The chance to see Kobe has come and gone but if you’re a casual basketball watcher, make an eff ort to see Golden State in the playoff s.Their leading light Steph Curry is the first man to make 400 three-pointers in a regular season.The feat is even more impres-sive considering no man before Curry had ever made 300 be-fore the season.Just for a little bit of life symme-try - The Golden State coach, Steve Kerr was a key player for the Bulls in the 1995/96 season that his team has now eclipsed.You can’t write this stuff .

Kobe and Curry throw out scripts
