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 />

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 />

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 />
