But his day was made a little brighter Lucian’s mum Elizabeth said her son was delighted with the birthday surprise. “The police were fantastic,” she says. “Lucian was very happy and there were smiles all around. “He loves lights, sirens and anything to do with police cars, fire engines and ambulances.” Lucian’s grandma — also named Elizabeth — arranged the police visit to Plunket to put a smile on her grandson’s face. “I was trying to make a good memory for Lucian to cherish for when his dad’s not there. “We were hoping his dad would’ve been at Plunket that day, too, but he wasn’t well enough to go.” She is thankful to police for making the time to visit. “Everybody’s too quick to criticise police but you don’t hear the good stories,” she says. “They took time out of their day to make a little boy’s day — and it means a lot.”

Children who attend the trust’s Early Intervention Centre do so because they have a physical disability, and often have learning, communication or sensory needs. To provide additional opportunities for the children to enjoy play and learning outdoors, a large spend is required to upgrade the centre’s rather tired playground. The rebuild is designed to provide easier access, creating more options for children using mobility aids to enjoy independent play and practice. By creating a larger covered deck area, children with fragile health will be able to spend more time outdoors. “Unfortunately, the funding that enables our service provision has not kept pace with the increasing daily running costs,” says Sharon. “This means that we still rely on community generosity to maintain our facility.” Business, sports and community groups have stepped up and provided an opportunity to raise the $100,000 required to make this rebuild a reality. McDonald’s Kihikihi Speedway president, Russell Hayes said he is looking forward to welcoming supporters and spectators to the event. “I am sure you will enjoy the night.

In their first home game of the season in Invercargill, the Steel punished every mistake by the Magic Blue Ribbon Realty Ltd MREINZ Licensed Agent REAA 2008 and never eased off the accelerator. They expanded their lead with every quarter, but made the biggest impact in the second spell - winning STATIONERY SALE ON NOW! by 10. They also took the opportunity to get all 10 players on court, and never lost a beat when introducing up to fresh legs. The Steel led 16-15 at the first 50% break and 39-28 at halftime.
