Community rallies behind<br />

food bank after big theft<br />

• By Winston Davey<br />

THE COMMUNITY has<br />

come together to help the New<br />

Brighton food bank after it was<br />

broken into and emptied out.<br />

“I don’t understand the motive<br />

behind<br />

it, there was<br />

no reason for<br />

it,” said Trudy<br />

Burrows, who<br />

founded the<br />

free food pantry<br />

next to St<br />

Faith’s Church<br />

seven years<br />

ago.<br />

Trudy<br />

Burrows<br />

Burrows decided to post on<br />

the New Brighton community<br />

Facebook page asking for donations<br />

of food after “everything<br />

has taken”. She was inundated<br />

with support.<br />

“The community was great,<br />

(people) went into their pantries<br />

and tried to find old things they<br />

had or didn’t want anymore,<br />

just excess to them.<br />

“They even went into their<br />

gardens and brought fresh produce,<br />

and even some gave us a<br />

small donation. It really helped<br />

us rally and get back on top of<br />

things.”<br />

Burrows said the thieves had<br />

taken all the food.<br />

“They cleared us out, smashed<br />

eggs everywhere and left a real<br />

mess.”<br />

She believes they must have<br />

been skilled, as the food bank<br />

has “big locks and an iron bar”.<br />

It also has cameras, which the<br />

thieves covered with cardboard<br />

so no one could be identified.<br />

Volunteer Carolyn Tauailoto<br />

said people’s generosity after the<br />

theft was amazing.<br />

“The community really relies<br />

on us. People we had never<br />

met before, strangers just came<br />

with bags and bags and bags of<br />

canned goods or vegetables.”<br />

The food bank is now afraid to<br />

leave some items on its premises,<br />

in case they get targeted again.<br />

“It’s just human nature I<br />

guess, which is kind of sad,”<br />

Tauailoto said.<br />

Food bank recipient Steve<br />

Martin said “people from all<br />

walks of life” visited the food<br />

bank.<br />

He was grateful for it.<br />

“As a single guy, I sometimes<br />

feel a little like maybe I don’t really<br />

need it as much as others.”<br />

According to The New<br />

Zealand Food Network, the<br />

main reasons people rely on<br />

food banks are cost of living<br />

(88 per cent), low individual/<br />

household income (70 per cent)<br />

and unemployment (65 per<br />

cent).<br />

Burrows said the food bank<br />

has started to focus on giving<br />

to residents in the greater<br />

New Brighton area, to allow<br />

its volunteers to get to know<br />

people and their situation.<br />

Thieves managed to break<br />

in, despite some security<br />

measures.<br />

Cricketers stunned after<br />

White Ferns presentation<br />

• By Sam Coughlan<br />

NEW BRIGHTON Cricket<br />

Club’s juniors got the shock of<br />

their lives when they were asked<br />

to present the White Ferns with<br />

their playing shirts at the T20<br />

World Cup squad announcement<br />

at Hagley Oval last week.<br />

Junior club captain Paul Barr,<br />

who was there with the kids to<br />

supervise, thought they had just<br />

been invited to be in the audience<br />

and get autographs.<br />

But when they arrived at the<br />

event, they were informed the<br />

team would be a part of the<br />

presentation.<br />

“They were just told to wear<br />

black shorts and they’d be given<br />

shirts on the day, then when we<br />

got there we found out that the<br />

kids were actually going to be<br />

handing the players their playing<br />

shirts when their name got called<br />

out,” Barr said.<br />

“You could just see the smiles<br />

on their faces, they were already<br />

excited because they were there<br />

and they were seeing the White<br />

Ferns in person. But to actually<br />

get up there and give them a<br />

high-five when they gave them<br />

their shirts, I think they just<br />

absolutely relished it.”<br />

“These opportunities don’t<br />

come along (very often), and<br />

these kids idolise the players, so<br />

HARD WORK: The pupils practiced every day last week in<br />

preparation for Sunday’s competition.<br />

Hard work pays off<br />

for kapa haka kids<br />

• By Isabella Adams<br />

BROMLEY SCHOOL picked up<br />

numerous surprise results at the<br />

Tūhono Kapa Haka Festival on<br />

Sunday.<br />

The 46-strong kapa haka group<br />

won the overall junior division,<br />

beating eight other schools.<br />

The school was also awarded<br />

best novelty item and came first in<br />

haka and third in waiata-ā-ringa<br />

and waiata tira (choral).<br />

Teacher Whaea Jo Wagner said<br />

the success came as a surprise to<br />

both pupils and teachers, as the<br />

group did not place in last year’s<br />

competition.<br />

“They were shocked. I don’t<br />

think they expected it.<br />

“They just kind of thought we<br />

were going to perform and that we<br />

weren’t going to take anything. So<br />

they were buzzing.”<br />

The group has been practicing<br />

every Friday since the beginning<br />

day in the week leading up to the<br />

competition.<br />

“It was just such a good result for<br />

all the hard work that our kids had<br />

put in and that our staff and tutors<br />

had given the children,” Wagner<br />

said.<br />

“It was so nice too because<br />

tūhono means to be connected,<br />

so having all our whānau there<br />

and our kids performing to our<br />

whānau, it just made it all feel real<br />

for our children because they’d<br />

been practicing so hard.”<br />

will be at an inter-school concert at<br />

Te Aratai College:<br />

Embracing Tradition and Teamwork<br />

Kī-o-Rahi is a traditional Māori ball sport<br />

gaining significant popularity across Aotearoa,<br />

particularly in kura, as a sign of cultural revival<br />

and whanaungatanga. The game is steeped<br />

in Māori tradition, with its origins linked to the<br />

pūrākau of Rahi, a Māori ancestor.<br />

According to the pūrākau, the game is based<br />

on the story of Rahitūtakahina and the rescue<br />

of his wife, Tīarakurapakewai. Her kidnappers<br />

evoked powerful atua and magic to hinder<br />

Rahi in his rescue attempts, forcing him to<br />

circumvent a second sun, vine-thick forests,<br />

taniwha and desert tundras. Rahi used the<br />

skills and strategies now reflected in Kī-o-Rahi<br />

to navigate these challenges, making the<br />

game, not just a sport but also a way to engage<br />

in Te ao Māori.<br />

of our cultural heritage. Te Aratai College<br />

has embraced and championed Kī-o-<br />

Rahi since 2014 and we are now avid<br />

competitors. Jesse Harding, Head of Sport<br />

has been the coach of the Kī-o-Rahi team<br />

for the last seven years.<br />

“When I started in 2017, we won the<br />

regional tournament and qualified for<br />

nationals. We attended and placed<br />

11th. We won again in 2018 and 20<strong>19</strong><br />

in the Waitaha/Canterbury regionals.<br />

The competition and whanaungatanga<br />

it nurtures, it has been inspiring to see<br />

Kī-o-Rahi used as a vehicle to engage<br />

rangatahi into te ao Māori. And it’s so<br />

much more than just a sport. As a team<br />

we trained and toured together and also<br />

participated in noho and wānanga at<br />

Te Puna Wānaka, with many thanks to<br />

Heperi Harris and The Kutt: Functional<br />

Fitness.”<br />

In April the Te Aratai Kī-o-Rahi team<br />

qualified for the Nationals that took<br />

place in sun-soaked Gisborne. There<br />

were 36 teams from around the<br />

country that qualified and took part in<br />

Jury Tipa-Tuhura, Lincoln Siataga-<br />

Nelson-Albrett and Raniera Babbington<br />

the tournament. Te Aratai finished <strong>19</strong>th, with<br />

four wins and four losses. “We were proud of<br />

this performance and result. Every game we<br />

lost was close and the team did extremely<br />

well.” The team are off to the South Island<br />

Tournament this weekend. They have finished<br />

3rd the in last two years at the event, and<br />

are looking to finish this year on a high note<br />

with their senior players LJ Beattie, Jury Tipa-<br />

Tuhura and Raniera Babbington wrapping up<br />

their 5-year high school legacy as Te Aratai<br />

College Kī-o-Rahi teammates.<br />

LJ Beattie<br />

The sport involves two teams, each with seven<br />

or eight players, and is played on a circular<br />

field divided into zones. The game is played<br />

with varying rules depending on the geographic<br />

area it is played. A process called Tatū, before<br />

the game, determines which rules the two<br />

teams will use. The objective is to score points<br />

by hitting a central tupu/target with the Kī/ball,<br />

while also defending your zone. The dynamic<br />

nature of the game, which combines elements<br />

of rugby, netball, and touch football, makes it<br />

both physically challenging and strategically<br />

engaging.<br />

Kī-o-Rahi has seen a resurgence in recent<br />

years, attributed to efforts by educators and<br />

community leaders to promote traditional Māori<br />

sports, recognizing them as vital components<br />

GOLD: Hunter Smith won the basic novice boys’ competition.<br />

Nationals next for<br />

successful skaters<br />

• By Sam Coughlan<br />

THE CENTAURUS Ice Skating<br />

Club is turning its attention to<br />

the nationals after picking up<br />

a haul of medals at the North<br />

Island championships at the<br />

weekend.<br />

Centaurus had eight competitors<br />

in Auckland for the competition<br />

and took home five golds<br />

and two bronzes.<br />

Hunter Smith won the basic<br />

novice boys’ competition, and<br />

older sister Eva Smith placed<br />

third in the juvenile girls.<br />

Juliette Miller won the juvenile<br />

girls’ event and then made it two<br />

golds when she combined with<br />

Timothy Sampson to win the<br />

free dance competition. Sampson<br />

also won the adult interpretive<br />

silver event.<br />

Izzy Hack won youth interpretive<br />

silver and Coco Flood was<br />

third in girls’ basic novice.<br />

Claira McDowell competed but<br />

didn’t medal.<br />

All except Flood will be in<br />

action at the national championships,<br />

which will be hosted by<br />

Centaurus at the Alpine Ice<br />

Sports Centre from October 17-<br />

20. It will be the first time since<br />

2016 the competition has been<br />

held in Christchurch.<br />

Committee member Clare<br />

Attenborough said the North Island<br />

competition served as good<br />

preparation for the skaters ahead<br />

of nationals.<br />

“For us it was a case of more<br />

competition exposure, more<br />

feedback for their skating, and<br />

different competition,” she said.<br />

“In the South Islands, you<br />

tend to compete against similar<br />

people all the time, so you’ve<br />

got different competition and<br />

people who will be competing at<br />

nationals.”<br />

BALANCE: Izzy Hack, left, competing in the youth interpretive silver competition where<br />

she won gold. Juliette Miller won the juvenile girls’ competition.<br />
