Stuff.co.nz reports Wellington Catholic Church Buildings At Risk.
The Wellington Archdiocese faces a bill of over $3 million dollars to repair their Churches and Schools. This a great chance for the Church to consolidate it's holdings and parishes and hopefully free up some land for something useful.
Incidentally 100 metres from my house St James Presbyterian Church is to close later this year as the risk is too great.

We've got the wind, the rain and the Phoenix!
Great column by the Sunday Star Times' football columnist Billy Harris this week.
The Phoenix game on Friday night was incredible, certainly the best I have been to and I have been to a few. The Fever Zone was absolutely humming as well, have never heard it that loud.
Fingers crossed the Heart do us a favour this afternoon and we have the opportunity to do it all over again next weekend.

Walkwise faces the chop
Stuff.co.nz reports that Walkwise faces the chop.
I have always questioned the need for Walkwise and so am not particularly alarmed by the news. If Wellington is the fantastic city we believe it to be than visitors should feel like they can approach any Wellingtonian on the street and all Wellingtonians should take an active part in keeping an eye out for trouble.
One Walkwise patroller who I see around seems to be the complete opposite of these intentions anyway. Everytime I see him he is walking around with his head down and paying little attention to what is going on around him, he also seems to patrol very secluded areas where he will be of little help to visitors.
I know it is unfair to taint all Walkwise patrollers based on my observations of one of their number but I would not be surprised to hear similar stories from others.
