City2Surf is back and<br />

businesses are thrilled<br />

• By Natalie Pham<br />

NEW BRIGHTON business<br />

owners are excited about a wave<br />

of people who will descend on<br />

the area on a Sunday in March.<br />

The iconic Les Mills City2Surf<br />

will revert back on March 19,<br />

<strong>20</strong>23 to the original route,<br />

starting from Latimer Square<br />

at 9am, continuing along New<br />

Brighton Rd and finishing at<br />

Rawhiti Domain.<br />

This will mark the 50th year<br />

since the first event in 1974.<br />

Due to the damage the<br />

February 22, <strong>20</strong>11 earthquake<br />

caused to the original route,<br />

the route was changed from<br />

starting at Pioneer Stadium and<br />

finishing at Ferrymead Historic<br />

Park.<br />

Switch Espresso owner Donna<br />

Stewart said it is great to see the<br />

event coming back to where it<br />

all began.<br />

Stewart, who has lived in New<br />

Brighton for <strong>20</strong> years, said many<br />

businesses will benefit from the<br />

number of people taking part in<br />

the event.<br />

“There’s always a flow-on<br />

effect. It’s like the Coast To<br />

Coast, people always come out<br />

and grab something to eat. Or to<br />

support their friends and family<br />

who participate in the event.”<br />

Community board elect urges<br />

youth to get politically involved<br />

• By Natalie Pham<br />

NEW community board<br />

member Alex Hewison is hoping<br />

to get more young people into<br />

local politics.<br />

The North New Brighton resident<br />

was 18 when he got elected<br />

as the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-<br />

Linwood Community board<br />

member two weeks ago.<br />

Hewison received 3464 votes<br />

in total, 1<strong>20</strong>5 votes behind Jo<br />

Zervos (4079).<br />

“I grew up with the broken<br />

roads and flooded streets, so I’ve<br />

always wanted to be someone<br />

who people can talk to,” he said.<br />

That is why infrastructure is<br />

top of his priority list, along with<br />

improving community well-being<br />

and pushing for more safety<br />

measures to prevent crime.<br />

The former deputy head boy<br />

at Shirley Boys’ High School<br />

believed his background of<br />

growing up with the issues that<br />

the community is facing was his<br />

big drawcard.<br />

“They’ve gotten someone<br />

that they can relate to. And I’m<br />

young and energetic, so I have<br />

the drive to get things done.”<br />

Hewison was interested in<br />

politics at a young age after<br />

seeing a lack of communication<br />

when his primary school merged<br />

Kelly Barber<br />

Independent for Burwood<br />

with three others.<br />

So it was not a surprise for his<br />

family when he announced he<br />

was going to run for the community<br />

board.<br />

“I’m quite a loud person and I<br />

talk quite a bit, so I saw politics<br />

as something that I would go<br />

into. I also took lots of leadership<br />

roles in high school, so<br />

this seems like the next move,”<br />

Hewison said.<br />

The first-year university student<br />

had a “really hard think”<br />

about whether he could be a<br />

good representative for the community<br />

before deciding to run<br />

mid last year.<br />

Hewison said he had to weigh<br />

up a number of things as “a<br />

young person”, including juggling<br />

his online study and parttime<br />

job.<br />

“But it was important that I<br />

took a step forward.<br />

“Even if I didn’t win it, people<br />

could still understand that they<br />

could take the stand and get<br />

their voices heard.”<br />

He is urging more young<br />

people to get involved in local<br />

government.<br />

FRESH VOICE:<br />

Eighteen-year-old<br />

Waitai Coastal-<br />

Burwood-Linwood<br />

Community board<br />

member Alex<br />

Hewison says<br />

his top priorities<br />

are improving<br />

infrastructure and<br />

community wellbeing.<br />

​<br />

Said Hewison: “The turn-out<br />

rate is getting up there again but<br />

it’s still very low, as well as the<br />

council’s approval rating. The<br />

reason is there’s a whole disconnection<br />

between our communities<br />

and the city council at the<br />

moment.<br />

“The whole idea of democracy<br />

is getting everyone from different<br />

races and life. It’s important<br />

to have a wide variety.”<br />

Hewison is now studying<br />

law, international relations,<br />

and economics at Victoria<br />

University.<br />

Fun run<br />

goes back<br />

to where it<br />

all began<br />

• From page 1<br />

Coastal Ward city councillor<br />

Celeste Donovan encouraged<br />

organisers of the event to connect<br />

with local businesses.<br />

“Some of the local businesses do<br />

have mobile caravans. So some of<br />

those food providers will have an<br />

opportunity to come in and cater<br />

for the events if that is something<br />

they want to be a part of.”<br />

Donovan was pleased to hear<br />

about the return of the event to<br />

the eastern suburbs.<br />

“There’s very few places in the<br />

world that have a nature environment<br />

that runs from one side of<br />

the city to the other.<br />

“This sort of event can really<br />

showcase what we have as a city<br />

and also in the east.”<br />

Baby charity calls<br />

out for donations<br />

• By Natalie Pham<br />

SOARING living<br />

costs have driven a<br />

“humongous” increase in<br />

demand for baby supplies<br />

at a charity.<br />

It Takes A Village Hub<br />

has put together more<br />

than 500 bundles for<br />

babies and toddlers in the<br />

past six months.<br />

At this rate, the charity<br />

is on the way to hit the 800<br />

mark “easily” by December.<br />

Each baby and toddler<br />

bundle contain essentials<br />

– from a newborn child up<br />

to five years old – including<br />

clothing, bedding,<br />

toiletries, toys and books.<br />

However, included items<br />

depend on stocks of donations.<br />

The charity is struggling<br />

to meet the demand for<br />

consumable items like<br />

toothbrushes and toothpaste,<br />

nappies and wipes,<br />

as they are one-off uses<br />

and low in donation.<br />

Co-director Danielle<br />

Petterd said requests for<br />

these items make up to 90<br />

per cent of applications.<br />

“An unexpected bill<br />

could put families behind<br />

for weeks. A bag of nappies<br />

could cost up to $18<br />

per week. So to be able<br />

to put that money onto<br />

power bills or pay off debts<br />

are a huge things for our<br />

families.”<br />

The charity put together<br />

more than 600 bundles<br />

last year. Before the pandemic,<br />

they used to do <strong>20</strong><br />

bundles a month.<br />

“(The) number of<br />

families in need has<br />

hugely increased since<br />

Covid-19 and living costs<br />

increased. It has just been<br />

absolutely insane to see a<br />

huge number of families<br />

in need out there,” Petterd<br />

said.<br />

Latest figures in a new<br />

ASB report show household<br />

weekly living costs<br />

are expected to increase<br />

by $110 over the next 12<br />

months, with two-thirds<br />

of the cost from either<br />

non-tradable goods/services<br />

or debt servicing.<br />

Petterd is urging people<br />

to donate their baby clothing<br />

so the charity can continue<br />

to help struggling<br />

families.<br />

“Without donations like<br />

these, we wouldn’t be able<br />

to do what we do for the<br />

families.”<br />

The charity recently<br />

cleared a wait list of<br />

ten families in need of<br />

newborn clothing. But<br />

Petterd said people are still<br />

coming through the door<br />

asking for help.<br />

The demand for baby<br />

supplies also outgrew she<br />

and co-director Jess Roberts’<br />

garages.<br />

Last year, with city<br />

council help, they managed<br />

to secure a commercial<br />

premise in New<br />

Brighton.<br />

Petterd said in hindsight<br />

it was funny to see how<br />

they were able to fit all of<br />

the items in their houses<br />

for so long.<br />

The charity was born in<br />

<strong>20</strong>17 as a way to share baby<br />

supplies and resources to<br />

families that needed “a<br />

little extra help”.<br />

as it has be unique and fitting for such<br />

a clever, handsome boy.<br />

Frontrunners are Romeo,<br />

Claudius, Atticus, Titus or<br />

just Charlie. He has slotted<br />

into the McMasterHeap<br />

family incredibly well,<br />

introducing himself to both<br />

dogs fearlessly and Maximus,<br />

our big ginger DSH. He<br />

is confident but sensible,<br />

cuddly and gentle (he allows<br />

the tummy rub), all in all<br />

perfect for us. He’s already a<br />

FB favourite.<br />

I didn’t know much about<br />

the Mandalay breed. It was<br />

originally developed in NZL<br />

in the 1970’s, a Burmese<br />

mating to a Domestic Short<br />

Haired cat.<br />

Our Kittens lineage comes<br />

from Australia in which<br />

the initial cross was that<br />

of a Burmese and a British<br />

Shorthair. There were six<br />

kittens in his litter and his dad<br />

was a black Mandalay and his<br />

mum a Burmese.<br />

Next in the line up is our<br />

overweight loveable<br />

ginger cat Maximus. He<br />

loves a good sleep, all<br />

day in a sunny spot, at<br />

night under the covers,<br />

rarely seen patrolling the<br />

section or working out.<br />

Last week he was booked<br />

in for a dental scale and<br />

polish and full groom<br />

out. He’s impossible to<br />

attempt brushing his<br />

teeth and he can’t eat<br />

Prescription Diet Dental<br />

dry due to being solely<br />

on weight loss diet,<br />

so regular dentistry is<br />

required to keep his teeth and gums healthy.<br />

He is primarily Dylan’s cat and sticks to Dylan<br />

when he’s home. A loveable rogue who lives<br />

the easy life.<br />

Macy, our two and half year old Black<br />

Labrador, is again “my dog”. Her keen<br />

interests are sniffing out apples on our daily<br />

walks, retrieving anything that is thrown,<br />

swimming, and bodysurfing. She loves any<br />

form of exercise and is so obedient she’s<br />

walked off-leash everywhere. She hates<br />

making a mistake. Most<br />

days she’s seen either in<br />

reception at McMaster<br />

& Heap or pounding the<br />

tracks and roads around<br />

Hagley Park, several times<br />

a day.<br />

Our beautiful Lola turned<br />

13 on 30th September.<br />

She is nothing short of<br />

an angel and adored by<br />

most that know her. Again<br />

a FB favourite. She’s in<br />

great health considering<br />

she is a kidney cancer<br />

survivor. She can still<br />

manage a good hour’s<br />

walk everyday and a swim. She still<br />

flies North on holiday with us and<br />

is often seen consulting with me<br />

in my consult room. She definitely<br />

puts dogs at ease, calms the<br />

anxious, fearful ones and socialises<br />

with the puppies. She is the kindest<br />

most gentle dog there is and we<br />

are all better people having her in<br />

our life.<br />

I think four pets is a good<br />

number to stop at for<br />

now. We are very blessed<br />

to have these precious<br />

souls in our family.<br />

Safe speed<br />

neighbourhoods<br />

Way safer for everyone<br />

We’re making it safer around all schools<br />

and surrounding neighbourhoods.<br />

Whether you’re visiting whānau and friends,<br />

letting tamariki walk, scoot or bike to<br />

school, or driving to work or home again,<br />

you should be able to do it safely.<br />

Lower speeds save lives and prevent<br />

serious injuries. Regardless of the cause<br />

of a crash, speed is the difference between<br />

someone being able to walk away relatively<br />

unharmed or being seriously injured<br />

or killed.<br />

Working towards safer speeds<br />

When everyone travels a bit slower people feel safer to<br />

use the street, and walk, scoot or bike to parks, schools<br />

and local shops.<br />

Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency have changed the<br />

way speed limits are set. This gives us an opportunity<br />

to implement an area-wide approach for consistency,<br />

especially around schools.<br />

Speeds also need to reflect the environment of the<br />

street, and our neighbourhood roads support speeds<br />

of 40km/h or lower.


Thursday <strong>October</strong> <strong>20</strong> <strong>20</strong>22 7<br />

Planned speed changes<br />

We’re planning to reduce speeds from 50km/h to 30km/h around all schools and 40km/h in<br />

neighbourhood streets, especially those around schools. We’ll start with areas shown on<br />

the map, then roll out more streets over the next ten years as funding allows.<br />

Overcoming the hurdles to be a para<br />

champion and teaching badminton<br />

• By Natalie Pham<br />

CARRIE WILSON has<br />

made huge progress since a<br />

catastrophic leg injury looked<br />

set to wreck her badminton<br />

career.<br />

Eight years ago, she had an<br />

“excruciating” pain in her back<br />

while executing an overhead<br />

badminton shot.<br />

“It just went ‘crack, pop’ and I<br />

passed out,” she said.<br />

This left Wilson with a permanent<br />

injury – a prolapsed<br />

L4-5 disc in her spine which also<br />

caused a paralysis in her lower<br />

right leg.<br />

The sudden loss of her leg<br />

caused the 42-year-old to go<br />

through a period of grief, but<br />

it did not stop her from getting<br />

back on court.<br />

She then spent a year after that<br />

to undergo three back surgeries<br />

and another year in a pool learning<br />

to walk again.<br />

‘A lot of time I felt like giving<br />

up. My friends said that<br />

I’m strong but I don’t have<br />

a choice. This is who I am<br />

now.’<br />

– Carrie Wilson<br />

“Once I was able to walk, my<br />

next goal was to get back to the<br />

court,” Wilson said.<br />

Next month, she is among two<br />

New Zealand athletes who are<br />

going to compete in the Badminton<br />

World Federation Para Badminton<br />

World Championships<br />

in Tokyo, Japan.<br />

“It’s quite daunting because<br />

it’s my first world championship.<br />

I also find that being the only<br />

South Island para badminton<br />

player quite challenging because<br />

I can’t train with a squad or<br />

anything,” she said.<br />

While the disability is new for<br />

her, badminton was not.<br />

Her grandmother played it<br />

back in the day, and so did her<br />

mother and two older sisters. But<br />

Wilson was the only one that<br />

took badminton as far as she<br />

had.<br />

Wilson started playing for<br />

Badminton Canterbury when<br />

LOSS: The pain in her leg did not stop Carrie Wilson from getting back on court. She will<br />

compete in the Badminton World Federation Para Badminton World Championships in Tokyo.<br />

she was 12 and later got selected snapping.<br />

in the senior division before the It was so painful that Wilson<br />

injury.<br />

asked doctors to amputate her<br />

“It was the peroneal nerve that leg.<br />

was squashed. They said that it “But they refused because they<br />

might come back over 2 years,” can’t amputate a perfectly good<br />

she said.<br />

leg. There’s nothing wrong with<br />

“I did rehab and really tried. I my leg, it’s just my brain.”<br />

even did mirror work to trick my So Wilson trained herself to<br />

brain. But two years went by and play with left-handed footwork,<br />

no improvement.”<br />

but she would immediately flip<br />

When Wilson first came back as soon as the games began.<br />

back after the injury, she went “My footwork flipped back because<br />

I’ve been playing this sport<br />

through a lot of pain and the<br />

braces on her leg would keep for so many years,” she said.<br />

CHAMPIONSHIP: Wilson (left, back row) won one gold and<br />

two silvers in the <strong>20</strong>22 Oceania Championships. Front row:<br />

After receiving a high-quality<br />

foot drop brace through ACC,<br />

Wilson decided to adapt a new<br />

footwork which requires her<br />

moving the non-injured leg<br />

forward to get out of certain<br />

positions.<br />

However the new technique,<br />

along with the medication<br />

designed to slow the brain down<br />

from sending signals, cause a<br />

delay in her response time.<br />

“I get frustrated on the court<br />

because I know that I could do<br />

take the shots and I know what it<br />

supposed to feel like,” she said.<br />

“When I put my leg behind<br />

me, I don’t see or feel it so I have<br />

to trust that it’s there and it’ll<br />

catch me.”<br />

The condition also affects<br />

her ability to distinguish touch<br />

sensation.<br />

“You could stab my leg with a<br />

knife and I wouldn’t feel a thing,<br />

but if a feather touches it, I would<br />

go through the roof because it’s<br />

painful.”<br />

Wilson also transitioned from<br />

a full-time to relief teacher because<br />

she does not know if she is<br />

going to have a good or bad day.<br />

“A lot of time I felt like giving<br />

up. My friends said that I’m<br />

strong but I don’t have a choice.<br />

This is who I am now.”<br />

Para badminton was not a<br />

thing in New Zealand until she<br />

got back from Mexico in <strong>20</strong>19.<br />

“I looked it up and saw it<br />

on the official website. I then<br />

checked if I was qualified and I<br />

did.”<br />

So Wilson started her training<br />

and competed for the first<br />

time as a para badminton player<br />

in Oceania Para Badminton<br />

Championships <strong>20</strong><strong>20</strong>, where she<br />

snatched the gold medal for SL4<br />

women’s singles.<br />

Two months ago, she managed<br />

to win SL3-SU5 mixed doubles<br />

in the same tournament. Wilson<br />

was also the runner-up in SL4<br />

women’s singles and SL3-SU5<br />

women’s doubles.<br />

SL4, or standing lower, is for<br />

players who have a lower limb<br />

impairment. To participate in a<br />

SL3-SU5 event, the classification<br />

number of two players when<br />

combined must be smaller than<br />

eight.<br />

But competitive tournament<br />

like this also means an almost<br />

sleepless night for Wilson.<br />

“Because I can’t feel my leg and<br />

I don’t know where it is in space,<br />

it doesn’t hurt. But when I stop<br />

playing, that’s when the nerves<br />

start firing.<br />

“It’s just a price that I pay<br />

because badminton is my life.<br />

It’s like my rehab for my mental<br />

health and well-being.”<br />

The athlete is now coaching<br />

para badminton youth and<br />

wheelchair development sessions<br />

at Badminton Canterbury.<br />

“It’s not an easy sport to pick<br />

up when you have disability. So<br />

it’s great seeing them going in<br />

the court and the joy that they<br />

have when they hit the shuttlecock.”<br />

Wilson and para badminton<br />

athlete Thomas Slade have received<br />

more than $1300 through<br />

their Givealittle page, which was<br />

set up with a goal to raise $8000<br />

to support the players and staff<br />

travelling to Japan.<br />

The team is scheduled to leave<br />

on <strong>October</strong> 29.<br />

After what has been a hectic and jammed packed Term 3 we have finally shut the<br />

gate and left for a well earned two week break. Ākonga/students have worked hard<br />

throughout the term and have achieved excellent results academically, culturally and<br />

in sport. It was wonderful to attend the Performing Arts extravaganza “This is Me” in<br />

the last week of term and experience the depth and breadth of the talent of the full<br />

cast. Ākonga from across the kura graced the stage and demonstrated an excellence<br />

often not seen except upon the professional stage. Our thanks to kaimahi Con and<br />

Andrew for inspiring our ākonga to excel in this space!<br />

Sadly, incidents of online bullying and cell phone misuse are growing. This abuse is<br />

having an extremely negative effect on many rangitahi. The time has come for the<br />

hard conversations around safe cell phone use at kura. We are very keen to hear<br />

from whanāu and ākonga about their experiences with cyberbullying. Kaimahi/staff<br />

have voiced their strong concern that cell phones are often:<br />

1. Disrupting the learning of ākonga.<br />

2. Being used to bully ākonga.<br />

3. Distracting ākonga during classes.<br />

4. Contributing to addictive and harmful behaviour in a number of rangatahi.<br />

5. Being used to film fights that are then uploaded to social media to shame, hurt,<br />

humiliate and harm victims of assaults.<br />

Understanding the level of the problem requires a community conversion and a<br />

collective commitment to positive intervention because many of our rangitahi are<br />

experiencing trauma as a result of online bullying. In Term 4 we will be:<br />

• Reviewing the Haeata Cell Phone Policy<br />

• Listening to ākonga voice<br />

• Listening to whānau voice<br />

• Listening to our community voice<br />

• Reviewing the statistics on harm<br />

• Planning strategically for a safe way forward for our ākonga when using cell phones<br />

at kura/school<br />

Consultation about cell phone use begins in Week 2 of Term<br />

4 <strong>20</strong>22. We look forward to your responses to our community<br />

survey which will be provided online via HAIL and in hard copy<br />

if required. It is only by working together that we will be able to<br />

make a positive change to protect our ākonga from the bullying<br />

they say they are experiencing.<br />

Term 4 is a very busy term for our kura. Our focus will be on:<br />

• Attendance<br />

• Uniform<br />

• NCEA Final Assessments<br />

• Prizegiving preparation<br />

• Whanāungatanga<br />

• Whanāu Hui<br />

Te Whakatakaka O Te Ngarehu O Ahi Tamatea<br />

As part of our learning journey in our whānau reo class ‘He Reo Tipu, He Reo<br />

Ora’ we have been exploring pū rākau around the kōrero tuku iho, cultural<br />

narratives of this whenua.<br />

We have been learning about Tamatea Pōkai Whenua and the creation story<br />

behind Hanmer Springs, Te Whakatakaka O Te Ngarehu O Ahi Tamatea.<br />

Tamatea Pōkai Whenua was a fearless explorer and a tipuna of Kahungunu.<br />

One of his great explorations brought him to Te Waipounamu. On one of<br />

these journeys the waka Takitimu was wrecked in Murihiku.<br />

Tamatea Pōkai Whenua began his long, cold, arduous journey home. He rested<br />

at Rāpaki and realised he and his people needed help. He sent forth a karakia to<br />

the renowned Te Arawa tohunga, Ngatoroirangi.<br />

At the time Ngatoroirangi and his people were resting at the foot of Tongariro.<br />

He heard the karakia and sent his two sisters, Te Pūpū and Te Hōata to help by<br />

taking fire to Tamatea Pōkai Whenua.<br />

The sisters could change themselves into fireballs. They sped along the<br />

landscape gouging out the riverbed of the Wanganui River. Leaping across<br />

Raukawa Moana, Cook Strait to Whakatū, Nelson and travelling on until they<br />

reached Kā kōhatu Whakarakaraka a Tamatea Pōkai Whenua, the Port Hills<br />

where they sped along the top of the hills until they reached Tamatea at Rāpaki.<br />

Tamatea and his people were saved and followed the warm path all the way<br />

back to the foot of Tongariro where they thanked the tohunga.<br />

As the sisters travelled down Te Waipounamu to Tamatea, embers dropped<br />

off and caused thermal activity at Hanmer, which is how it got its name, Te<br />

Whakatakaka O Te Ngarehu O Ahi Tamatea.<br />

To solidify our learning around the kōrero tuku iho of Tamatea Pōkai Whenua<br />

we read the pū rākau and created did artwork around the two fireball sisters,<br />

Te Pūpū and Te Hōata.<br />

Our final part was our Haerenga to Te Whakatakaka O Te Ngarehu O Ahi<br />

Tamatea, Hanmer Springs. These haerenga help with making our learning more<br />

meaningful as we are able to connect the stories to the whenua. We are<br />

following in the footsteps of the local people.<br />

A huge mihi to our whānau for attending our reo wānanga over the past 2<br />

terms.<br />

Tikanga ā iwi/Social Studies<br />

• Kia wānanga , kia whai māramatanga ki te pūrākau o Tamatea Pōkai<br />

Whenua.<br />

Pūtaiao/Science<br />

• Kia whai wāhi hei whakamana i ngā pūrākau Māori me ngā hononga ki te<br />

taiao(ara, ko ngā puia).<br />

• Kia whai hononga ki tō te pū rākau ki te ao Māori pērā ki te pūtaiao, te toi<br />

ataata, te reo matatini me te tikanga ā iwi.<br />

Ko te whakatipuranga tēnei o te mana rangahau, me ngā mātauranga katoa e<br />

pā ana ki te aotūroa me te taiao.<br />
