Tuesday <strong>October</strong> <strong>18</strong> <strong>2016</strong><br />

A ST Martins 12-year-old has<br />

taken out a Glenorchy fishing<br />

competition.<br />

Sophie Hickey recently reeled<br />

in a 1.7kg brown trout at the Lake<br />

Wakatipu event.<br />

She was one of 147 people to<br />

enter the competition but caught<br />

the winning fish off the Glenorchy<br />

pier.<br />

To catch the trout Sophie used<br />

huhu grubs for bait.<br />

Sophie used to live in Glenorchy<br />

before moving to St Martins.<br />

The event was held to raise<br />

money for the Glenorchy Volunteer<br />

Rural Fire Force and they<br />

raised $2000.<br />

Award funds artist’s next project<br />

AN ADDINGTON artist has<br />

been honoured with an award<br />

to support his next project.<br />

Daegan Wells is the winner of<br />

the 2017 Olivia Spencer Bower<br />

Foundation Art Award. He was<br />

selected as the winner from<br />

more than 40 applicants.<br />

The award offers financial<br />

assistance to artists so Mr Wells<br />

will be able to focus solely on<br />

his latest art project for a year<br />

without having to rely on another<br />

job to provide his income.<br />

Starting next year, Mr Wells<br />

will start a new research project,<br />

which will address a specific<br />

period in Christchurch’s art history<br />

– 1932-1939.<br />

He has previously been<br />

observing, researching, and<br />

collecting artefacts from the<br />

residential red zone for several<br />

years.<br />

Double award winner<br />

• By Andrew King<br />

WINNING A regional<br />

leadership award was not<br />

enough for one Cashmere<br />

resident – so she won a national<br />

award as well.<br />

Pieta McAleer-Harding won<br />

the Ministry of Youth Development<br />

Regional Award and New<br />

Zealand National Award of Excellence<br />

for Student Leadership<br />

after she was nominated by her<br />

fellow competitors.<br />

She was part of the Christchurch<br />

girls and boys’ high school<br />

combined stage challenge team<br />

which presented their entry,<br />

You Shouldn’t Put A Price On<br />

Humanity, in May.<br />

“I felt really honoured to<br />

be given the opportunity and<br />

recognised as a leader,” Miss<br />

McAleer-Harding said.<br />

She has two older sisters who<br />

she followed to Christchurch<br />

Girls’ High. One is now in retail<br />

and the other is studying.<br />

She thanked her parents, particularly<br />

her dad.<br />

“My dad is amazing, he helped<br />

me through the music, costumes<br />

and the set. And my mum supports<br />

me in anything I do. They<br />

are both amazing,” she said.<br />

The year 13 student will head<br />

to Victoria University next year<br />

to study architecture.<br />

She said the award will not<br />

hurt her chances of getting in.<br />

“I really like Wellington city<br />

and I am excited to move there.”<br />
