Koha hoping for forever home By Megan Connolly

Last Friday Jo Bryant, the organiser of The Koha Shed located on the Old College grounds, received an email that said their lease was over and The Koha Shed would have to find a new home before October 11. And so far, they have no idea where they are going to go.

Jo and a dedicated group of volunteers have been running the shed for over four years, with a year and a half of that in its current location. Jo was devastated by the news. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was in shock,â&#x20AC;? she says. Continued on page 2.

Can you help The Koha Shed? Continued from page 1. The Koha Shed is a volunteerrun not-for-profit shop. It supports the community by taking donations of second-hand items and giving it back to the community for free or a koha donation. “My immediate thought was: ‘Where are we going to go to

knew their space was only a temporary home, the timing was still surprising. “We knew it was coming, but we didn’t think it would be this soon,” Jo says. Volunteers like Renee Oneroa, Laura Nanai and Diana Philipp have become a close family through the Shed’s beginnings at the Marae four years ago. All say they have a lot of work to do between now and their end date of October 11. They have stopped accepting all donations, will have to start sorting what they have and give away as much as they can, not to mention the huge task of find a new building to operate out of. “The bottom line is, if we don’t find a place, we fold,” Jo says. “Because we are a not-for-profit it has to be rent-free.” The Koha Shed means many things to the volunteers than just a home for second-hand goods

store. They have people from all over the community walk through their doors and are often in their biggest hour of need. It isn’t just about physical needs, it is emotional too. “People come to us just for a talk,” Jo says. Laura has been volunteering for the shed for three years and knows the importance of The Koha Shed to both them and the community. “We didn’t build this place, the community has. All we have done is organise it,” she says. “We’d just like to keep going and continue to support the community that we’ve been providing for.” As we went to print, good news came through. The Koha Shed has found a home for the next 18 months, still located on the Old College grounds in the old Gym.

60 years as a sister By Megan Connolly

It was a significant day for Sister Therese Couderc on Sunday. She celebrated the diamond jubilee of her religious profession as a Sister of Compassion. Sister Therese has been working for 60 years as a Catholic Sister, with 25 of the years doing parish work with the St Patrick’s Church, Wainuiomata. “It’s incredible, you don’t think about getting this far,” Sister Therese says. Professed in 1959, she found her way into religious life not long after she had completed her nurse’s training in Wellington. “I was very shy, but nursing was about helping people,” she says. Whe she entered into religious life she had expected it to be a

rather contemplative one, she says, but that wasn’t the journey she was destined to go on. “It’s the call you have. When God calls, and the ability, if you are open to it, is to follow. The people and place are important but it is about the journey,” she adds. These days Sister Therese primarily does parish work now which involves working with the elderly and sick, helping the community with what they need. And she finds her nursing training still comes in handy when she is out doing this type of work. Even though Sister Therese did not originate from Wainuiomata, she loves that it has been her home for the last 25 years. However, the motivation remains the same: helping people

in the community and following her religious journey. “I think it’s really about having been on a journey with

many people,” she says. “I don’t believe in teaching. You’re helping people understand.”

Girls’ rugby team wins national champs By Megan Connolly

What can’t girls do? It was a big step in girl power last week when the Wainuiomata Intermediate School’s girls’

rugby team who smashed the competition and won the Aims Games Girls Sevens National Championship in Tauranga. The final score proves that they rallied together and

worked hard as team, beating Glen Eden 17-7. Aims Games and the final game itself was streamed online which gave the school, friends and family the chance to cheer

the homegrown team on no matter where they were. The games attracted 16 teams across New Zealand. The girls only lost one game out of the twelve games they played. This is hugely significant for the school and the girls who played because they have never won a national championship, assistant principal Isaac Hayes says. That is, until now. This was the girls’ first time heading to Aims Games for rugby and only the school’s second time sending a team. They sent the boys team last year, which came Sixteenth out of 50 teams. “The dream is to send both teams to Aims next year,” Isaac says. “We’re hoping this will be a drawing point for the school.” To prepare for the championship, the girls trained once a week. However many of the girls all play league or rugby outside of school. The team was also able to purchase girls specific rugby uniforms, thanks to a grant given to them by the Hutt Mana Trust.

The Guild of Woodworkers Wellington are holding their annual wood show at the Dowse Gallery on the weekend of September 28 and 29. A wide range of woodturnings and wood carvings produced by local Guild members from natives and exotic timbers are on display for both viewing and sale.

Eyes on the community By Megan Connolly

Community Patrol has been keeping their eyes on the local community for 20 years, driving the streets and keeping them safe. A common misconception is that they are law enforcers or police, but that isn’t the case. Run and operated by dedicated volunteers like Paul Knox and Dawn McKinley, they are passionate about keeping their community safe. “We’re the eyes and ears of the police,” Paul says. Community Patrol go out in pairs and are tasked by the police to look out for a variety of things, like particular people to check out addresses before they arrive. Dawn adds, “especially, if we see young girls walking in the dark we check if they’re okay.” Because the patrol is run on volunteering, the hours a patroller can do is completely up to the volunteer and it can suit the time you have spare. Paul has been a local volunteer for eight years and often does the longer shifts on Friday and Saturday nights, he says.

Where as Dawn has been volunteering for four years but goes in for around three hours on big nights. “It’s a valuable service because you can’t record prevention we don’t know how many crimes we’ve prevented,” Dawn says. “It’s for community-minded people.” Wainuiomata has a team of

Anyone over the age of 18 can volunteer their time for the Community Patrol, as long as you can pass a police secrutiy check. Full training is provided. “We’re not vigilantes,” Dawn says. “It is for the health and safety of our community,” Pauls adds.

Explore conservation week

Conservation Week is this week and what better time to check in on the titipounamu (rifleman) which were introduced to Zealandia ecosanctuary following a translocation from the Wainuiomata Mainland Island in March this year. Sixty titipounamu were translocated by Zealandia in partnership with Greater Wellington Regional Council. The titipounamu is Aotearoa’s smallest native bird, weighing in at just 6g. The new arrivals have recently been detected building nests both in provided nest

boxes and in natural nests, Dr Danielle Shanahan, director of Zealandia’s Centre for People and Nature says. “It is so exciting that they are settling in and showing breeding behaviour. We are especially excited that some birds are building their nests in the boxes we have provided as it will allow us to monitor them very closely. However, it will be a while yet before they lay eggs. “Our follow up surveys suggest at least half the titipounamu are settling in well in the valley. There are also a

few birds that have flown just outside the sanctuary, with some sighted in Birdwood Reserve adjacent to zealandia. “We hope they breed successfully both inside and out, helped by rat and stoat control done by the community,” Dr Shanahan says. Greater Wellington Land, Ecology and Climate team leader Philippa Crisp says it is fantastic to hear the translocated birds are surviving. “We moved these birds from our Key Native Ecosystem (KNE) site because our bird counts showed a 78 per cent

increase in the number of titipounamu in the area between 2005 and 2018. “This KNE provides an important breeding habitat for a large range of forest bird species and due to significant pest control efforts in the area, birds such as titipounamu are able to thrive. “Being able to monitor the nests in Zealandia will provide valuable information about how successful the translocation was in terms of establishing a breeding titipounamu population in the sanctuary,” Philippa says.

Maori cancer support on the world stage By Megan Connolly

Local woman and manager of Tu Kotahi Maori Asthma and Research Trust, Cheryl Davies, headed off to Calgary Canada last Thursday for the World Indigenous Cancer Conference. There she presented unique research relating to, Maori cancer support programme, Te

Mauri, that she has worked on over the last two years. “They are unique because it is the only of its kind in New Zealand,” Cheryl says. Te Mauri is provided in the Hutt Valley by a local Maori health provider, Mana Wahine. The programme provides a kaupapa Maori approach that supports the whole whanau

with their cancer journey, Cheryl says. “The conference is a neat opportunity to hear other indigenous people across the world and look to improve our cancer outcomes.” Cancer remains the leading cause of death among Maori women and is the second major cause of death for Maori men. Maori have potentially more preventable cancers than non-Maori and poorer outcomes to cancers that are normally responsive to treatment. “The statistics are pretty poor,” Cheryl adds. “We’re passionate about our community and how we can minimise health inequity.” During the research process for the programmes, Cheryl had the privilege of speaking to whanau during their cancer journeys. “It strikes me how resilient our whanau really are. “What came out was really the strength or our Maori model of care,” Cheryl says. “It has been a real privilege to work with the whanau who are going through their cancer journey.” Even though she is heading to Canada to present work, Cheryl will thankfully get the opportunity to explore some of Canada’s scenery during her two weeks there.

everyone that I was accepting the award on her behalf too. “She submitted two exceptional pieces and I wanted her to know, she was a winner in my eyes. “I’d like to take this opportunity to acknowledge my loved ones, including my partner Daniel, who have all congratulated me on this milestone - tena rawa atu koutou,” Kim says. “There goes a saying in Te Reo Maaori; ‘Ihara taku toa I te toa taki tahi, engari, he toa taki tini’ which means in English ‘My success is not mine alone – but the success of many’. “Never above you, never below you – always beside you,” Kim says.

Paint pours from the soul for local artist By Megan Connolly

Local artist and recent retiree Irene Miller knows a thing or two about the power of a hobby. Irene dived into the world of paint pouring only a couple of years ago and it has since become a huge part of her life and how she spends her life. Paint pouring is a painting method that uses acrylic paint and a pouring medium to create

an organic free form painting with rich, vibrant swirls and cells of colour. The best part are no paintbrushes or art experience needed. “It is definitely abstract art,” Irene says. Irene came to the style of art through her sister but quickly found the different methods and techniques to produce a painting were incredibly interesting and

had her hooked. There are many ways to produce the final product and many, if not all, can be found online or through the videos which Irene watches regularly. “I love it- it’s the colours and all of it the types of techniques. “I try to keep up with all the new methods but there’s so many! People are always discovering new ways to mix colours and shapes,” she says.

What sets paint pouring apart from traditional painting and art is that no two pieces will ever be the same. “It can be a bit frustrating when it doesn’t turn out the way you want it to but it’s not always a bad thing. It’s different but still good,” Irene says. “Who’s going to say it’s wrong if you like it?” Irene wasn’t necessarily “arty” growing up but during her time

living in Newlands for over 30 years, and participating in the New Players Theatre Company, she did find a passion for photography and visuals. However Irene “never expected” to become an artist later in her life, especially since retiring. “It makes me feel good, that’s the main thing,” Irene says. “I do believe in having outside interests that you can be involved in outside the home.”

Sports talk

That not so secret AB weapon every four years The Mitre 10 Cup is New Zealand’s biggest point of difference in a World Cup year. What other countries would undoubtedly give to have a provincial competition the calibre of New Zealand’s for potential injury replacements to ward off any match-day rust as they wait for the injury Gods to reveal their hand. Already the All Blacks have lost promising Waikato loosie Luke Jacobson to delayed concussion symptoms. Never fear, Liam Squire, who has been in rampaging form for the Tasman Mako in recent weeks, is an in-form and ready-made replacement. Speculation is that the always polarising Sonny Bill Williams may also be ruled out of the tournament with Manawatu Turbos Ngani Laumape match fit and battle-tested in the black jersey waiting in the wings. The fact that these fringe players, and let’s throw in Canterbury’s Owen Franks in

the mix, can play rugby while waiting for their second chance is the point of difference. Injuries will happen, that’s just the reality of a long competition. Some injuries are worse than others, harder to cover. The loss of Jacobson is not a big one in 2019, and many would suggest Williams is lucky to be in the World Cup squad as it is. Retallick, Whitelock, Read, Aaron Smith, Beauden Barrett and Ryan Crotty are the guys I believe would be hard to replace in a starting XV. The Mitre 10 Cup may not draw the crowds of 25 years ago but it serves a crucial two-fold purpose. It is the nursery for the next wave of emerging All Blacks and it offers fringe All Blacks some rugby when they need it most. That’s the perk of the competition and I’m sure the All Blacks will use it to their advantage when the time is right.

Wainuiomata put on another great day for the annual Wellington road running championships last Saturday, which has been hosted by the Wainuiomata Harrier Club for the last ten years.

The club’s best results came from the juniors, with Penny Houlihan fifth in the under ten 1km race, Cameron Forsyth who topped off a great season with his fouth place in the men under 18, and Hanna Hoffman finishing sixth in the girls under 16 race. This was the last interclub race for the season.
