Dave Ives says it was a night no one will ever forget. Fifty-two Paremata Plimmerton Rugby Football Club juniors were flag bearers at the sold-out Westpac Stadium on Saturday night, welcoming Hurricanes and Lions players onto the field for the Super Rugby final. Ives, the club’s junior convenor, said the opportunity for players from nursery grade to under- 13 to be front and centre for a historic occasion was brilliant. ‘‘We’re incredibly grateful to have had that opportunity. It was freezing cold, standing out there, but you couldn’t take the smile off their faces.’’ The Hurricanes’ 20-3 win, their maiden title in Super Rugby, made the occasion all the sweeter, Ives said.

KRIS DANDO

The four-term councillor and chairman of Porirua City Coun- cil’s Te Komiti is the only person to announce his candidacy for the Porirua mayoralty, vacated by Nick Leggett. If his is the only nomination, he automatically becomes mayor, according to Porirua City Coun- cil. Six years ago, when Jenny Brash stood aside, there were nine candidates for the city’s top job. This time, despite an empty mayoral seat, there is only one confirmed candidate. The closing date for nominations for councillors and mayoralty candidates is this Friday, August 12.

VIRGINIA FALLON

A Titahi Bay resident says Porirua City Council’s animal control isn’t up to standard with people being told to catch and contain potentially dangerous dogs.

VIRGINIA FALLON

Every morning Thomas the bisex- ual goose is carried from his avi- ary and placed next to a fenced pond at the front of Craig Shep- herd’s property. The 33-year-old bird is com- pletely blind and has lived at the Ohariu Valley sanctuary since his deteriorating heath, and a swan attack, forced him to leave Kapiti three years ago. He was a well-known character at the Waikanae Estuary where he spent 25 years with his partner Henry the swan, before the great split when he met a female goose. Shepherd and Thomas the goose Thomas wouldn’t survive in the wild and Shepherd described him as ‘‘pretty high maintenance - a $10 a day goose’’. Most of the birds rehabilitated at Shepherd’s rural property, north of Wellington, are released back to the wild but a few characters stay permanently. Robo-duck, whose metal beak made news in 2012, wouldn’t sur- vive in the wild as his beak-brace might get caught on something. ‘‘He has to stay here for his own safety.

LAURA DOONEY

Wellington secondary school students got an inside look at the world of engineering this week, as industry insiders attempt to bridge a gap in the industry. Last Monday marked the beginning of Engineering Week, the first week of its kind in New Zealand. Over five days 150 students learnt about the myriad opportunities available in the industry at the Beca offices in Thorndon. It was organised by Opus, Beca, MWH and AECOM. It was linked to a public aware- ness campaign launched by the Engineering, Education to Employment programme, which was set up in 2014 to help achieve a government goal to boost engin- eer numbers. Beca’s Nina Ives, One exercise saw students with students designing a floating home for a Liam Thompson, lake in Cambodia, using straws, Danae Abolins- Thompson, and water balloons, polystyrene cups Liv Sawyer. and cardboard.

KRIS DANDO

Former All Black Glen Osborne says the signs weren’t good early on. The 44-year-old, a one-time TV personality, who played 29 matches, including 19 tests, for the All Blacks between 1995 and 1999, described graduating with his recruit wing, No 298, at the Royal New Zealand Police College in Porirua on Thursday. It was an incredible feeling, he said. ‘‘Since I was a kid I always wanted to be in a black jersey, and I did that, but now I’m in a blue one. ‘‘My life has taken me down different avenues and I’m 44, but it’s so awesome to be here today. ‘‘I’ve had 30 years of no study and there are [recruits] here in their 20s, who’ve been to univer- sity, and they know how to do it. Understanding the law and other police processes was tough. ‘‘Since I was a kid I always wanted to be in a black jersey... and now I'm in a blue one.’’ Glen Osborne

VIRGINIA FALLON

When Latu Talu steps into the ring he’s only thinking about his boys, all 100 of them. The head coach of Cannons Creek Boxing Academy has just won the national Senior Elite Lightweight (U60kg) boxing title and said it was the thought of the at-risk boys he coached that spurred him to victory. ‘‘I carry them on my shoulders. They make me a better fighter and the things I win I give to them, I feed them with my fight- ing.’’ Talu had to lose over 15kgs to compete in the weight division and said, despite having to give up his much-loved rice and chicken, it was worth it to become a New Zealand champion. ‘‘It was a lot of suffering, a lot of tears and a lot of blood, but if Latu Talu has you love something you have to won the do it.
