Wednesday <strong>November</strong> 8 <strong>2017</strong> News HAVE YOU ever wondered what ghosts and goblins eat? If so, the answer was there for all to see at Lyttelton on the night of Halloween when a constant stream of ghouls, ghosts, goblins and witches made their way to the Lyttelton Bakery. There they feasted upon Halloween-themed donuts and cupcakes in a cavern created especially for the night. The idea was the inspiration of Bree Scott from Glamour Cakes and Vicki McSherry from Vic’s Bakery. Both women had experienced cyberbulling at very extreme levels. Rather than let this get them down and impact on their mental health they decided to respond in a positive way by playing on their creativity to raise funds for charity. The idea for the Halloween fundraiser emerged from this. The pair decided to put their energy into staging a special event, which saw their acclaimed products given a special Halloweeninspired twist. Cakes and donuts were transformed into tasty themed treats to tempt all who were about on Halloween night. The event also provided an opportunity for local children to dress up, put on the face paint and live the fantasy.

The trial will gather data to be used in the progressive upgrade from procedures based on radars to a network guided by satellites. The new navigation procedures are more accurate and allow for shorter, more direct routes, as well as more efficient take-offs and landings. Collectively, they reduce fuel burn, airport and airspace congestion, aircraft emissions and noise impacts on communities.
