He still remembers the shock waves the hate crime sent through his Wellington High School community in 1999.

In all the fuss over Covid-19, it has largely been forgotten that the Pulse recently won the ANZ Premiership Grand Final.
Having won the title two years running, they are Wellington's most successful sporting team.
What can we do to better recognise their success?

With domestic travel resuming, the school holidays approaching and people starting to plan for the longer break over summer, thought I would write a quick message to say I'm on the lookout for pet care and housesitting opportunities.
My name is Caitlin and I have been caring for other people's pets for a total of over 10 years now. I have a full driver's license and my own car so getting to different areas around Wellington is not a problem. I work in the central city during the week but am happy to do once or twice daily visits, or stay at the house if you prefer. I can also give medications if needed and will care for your pets as though they are my own (sadly I haven't had my own since we lost our dear old cat in 2018).
Reasonable rates depending on needs and references available.
Contact info: easiest contact method is either a message on Neighbourly, an email to chearfield14@gmail.com or a txt message to 027 821 3969 (more likely to get ahold of me than a phone call though I will call back if requested).

The funding was for Take 10, a group that helps drunk people stay out of trouble.
On Sunday, Foster told Stuff he supported providing funding. On Wednesday, however, he voted against it.
He said the proposed cost had risen by $15,000 to $95,000 and he was no longer prepared to support it.
His no vote was not enough to stop the funding, which the majority of councillors supported.
Councillor Fleur Fitzsimons, who chaired the grants committee, voted in favour of the increased funding.
“The extension of Take 10 to Friday nights is one step towards reducing alcohol-related harm and violence on Courtenay Place,” she said.
