Ben Pettit, New Zealand Open Men’s Tenpin bowling champion at 13
Porirua's latest national champion is 13 year-old Ben Pettit.
Ben is the youngest person to win the New Zealand Open Men’s Tenpin bowling championships, a tournament he initially entered just to gain experience – bowling against people with more training and who were nearly twice his age.
Not only does he stand out for his age, he is also a two handed bowler.
When Ben is not at school or at home, he trains at North City Tenpin in Porirua for up to 15 hours a week.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
