      • 142 runners and walkers fronted for the Waterfront 5k Series on 26 March. Numbers were boosted by 41 students from Newlands College, testing themselves over 5k. It was fantastic to have them along. Weather conditions were again very good – fine with a light wind. Let’s hope the weather holds for one more week, as next Tuesday it is the final race in this Waterfront Series. We take a break before returning for the next series in August. A big thanks to Dan, Don, Henry and Daniel from Wellington Scottish Athletics Club for the excellent officiating.

    • Indian Ink doesn’t fade
      • 26 Mar 2013
      • Capital Times
      • Actor and playwright Jacob Rajan wears his culture lightly. His parents were from Southern India, but Rajan was born in Malaysia. The family moved to Wellington when he was four. “India is a very big country and Indians aren’t homogenous,” Rajan says. “My parents came from a very small sub set in Kerala in Southern India. There wasn’t really an Indian community here for them when they came to New Zealand.”

    • Flyover fence-sit
      • 26 Mar 2013
      • Capital Times
      • Fellow city councillors have nicknamed it “Foster’s Flyover” after Andy Foster used his casting vote last week to go against a proposal to oppose the Basin Reserve flyover. The vote at the council’s strategy and policy committee means the council hasn’t taken a position at all, but will instead work with the New Zealand Transport Authority on ways to lessen the impact of the flyover on the city’s landscape. The debate came as councillors were considering a specially commissioned report on the merits of other roading options around the cricket ground. In the end councillors were split seven all on the matter before committee chair Foster voted it down.
