Matariki celebrations came to a spectacular point on Saturday night at the Matariki Whanau Festival held at Frederik Wise Park.

Over 5000 people, which was far more than last year’s turn-out, came along to celebrate the new year, grab some kai and watch the fireworks.

This is the second year the Matariki Whanau Festival has run in Wainuiomata and it is likely to continue as an annual tradition, spokesperson Te Rangi Huata, says.

“It was just a fantastic night. The weather was very kind to us.

“We’ve never ever seen a crowd like that in Wainuiomata,” Te Rangi says.

Matariki Whanau Festival a huge hit for locals Continued from page 1.

The evening wasn’t all just food and fun. Seven local groups that performed over the course of the evening, many of the youngsters showcasing their talent for dance and song.

However, this was the first time at the Matariki Festival that there was the remembrance lantern burning where the public was able to write messages on them before releasing them.

Te Rangi says “The idea is that the spirit of the person being honoured would be symbolically dispersed into the skies.

“Although this is not a Maori tradition, it is an old tradition done with a modern context.

“But Matariki is about celebrating, giving thanks for the harvest and remembering loved ones. It’s a moment to reflect,” she says.

Due to the great success of the event, organisers are hoping that this aspect of the Matariki festival can be continued every year.

There were several highlights of the night but for Te Rangi

his personal highlight had to be seeing the standard of local talent.

With such infectious excitement working up and appetite, it was no surprise that the food stalls sold out, the majority of stalls being local vendors.

“I’m glad more and more people are coming out and celebrating Matariki.

“It’s about us, all of us as New Zealanders and giving thanks and remembering the changing of the year. It’s incredibly positive seeing the community

come along,” Te Rangi says.

Organisers are very grateful to Hutt City for their grant and to the Wainuiomata Lions Rugby-League club for providing helping hands at the event.

“It’s a great way of uniting the community,” Te Rangi says.

Have you ever thought about the journey a piece of corn goes on to become a part of a corn tortilla?

Community garden organiserRichard Self was on a mission last Tuesday to show some keen locals about how easy and simple it is to make your own corn tortillas in the Community Hub kitchen.

The corn used was a combination of the corn plants, manaia and parihaka, grown in the Whai Oranga O Te Iwi Health and Dental Cantre community garden and in Richard’s own garden.

Richard, it isn’t as difficult as it sounds.

The journey of the corn tortilla starts with the plants still in the ground.

“We left the cobs on the plant for as long as we could to dry them off. We then harvested and husked them,” Richard says.

What you might not know is that turning the corn into flour that you can make tortillas out of involves a special ingredient: lime.

“We boiled the lime with the corn, soaked it overnight and ground it by hand with a hand grinder,” Richard adds.

Also known as the masa making

The corn tortilla making team, Joy Bhana, Community Health Worker Beau Markland Matua David McMillan and Richard Self at the Community Hub kitchen last Tuesday creating tortillas from scratch.

process, boiling the corn with lime or another alkaline base like wood ash means nixtamaliation happens.

This means several interesting things happen: the corn is more easily ground, its nutritional value is increased, flavour and aroma are improved, and toxins are reduced.

It also allows the corn to be made into a stretchy dough.

“While we were making them it was really neat for me to hear other people talking about how it was done in Maori culture too.”

In preparation, Richard had a couple of goes at making the tortillas first by himself before

he made them in the Community Hub kitchen.

“The most surprising part for me was actually the flavour.

“It is a corn flavour and similar to what a cornbread would taste like in America. It’s not really a flavour we have been brought up with as New Zealanders.

“It’s not good or bad, it’s just a bit different,” he says.

Richard has had a keen interest in food sustainability for a long time and how we can do it in our own backyards.

“It’s easy to grow green leafy vegetables but we need more than that to stay healthy,” Richard says.

Dog registration tags just got a whole lot more sophisticated in Lower Hutt with Doggone – a New Zealand-first electronic dog tag that links to the free Doggone App. A Virtual ID profile of the dog is created by its owner in the app and free text service, and all in the name of expediting the process of reuniting a lost dog with its owner.

Every time a dog wearing the Doggone registration tag comes within 60 metres of a phone with the Doggone App, a sighting is automatically created and securely stored in the Cloud.

Dog owners can trade up to Doggone at any time during the registration year for a small cost of $24.35 (plus GST).

Connection and craft for local women

By Megan Connolly

What’s a better way to combat a Friday than a cup of tea, some excellent company and some craft?

Wainuiomata Women is a weekly group for women who want to connect, share and inspire each other.

The group meets regularly on Friday mornings at 10am at Valley Church of the Nazarene and a koha donation which goes towards different activities and morning tea.

Local ladies, Denise Anglesey and Gaylene Pluck started the group around two and a half years ago as a way to meet other

women and encourage connections.

“When I moved here I was like, ‘Where are all the women at?’”

Gaylene says.

“So we made a post online and found other women who wanted the same thing.”

The group enjoys a couple of hours together and covers a

Woburn Home

variety of different subjects “It’s just connecting together without sitting around and doing nothing,” Denise says.

“The whole idea is to make low-cost products that could be turned into gifts or learn things like goal setting or budgeting.”

A local resident: Thelma Waenga regularly attends the

mornings and says she enjoys the environment.

“It’s relaxing, fun, different and I’m meeting a whole lot of people.

“I also don’t have all the facilities to do this sort of thing at home,” Thelma says.

If you’re interested, pop along to Wainuiomata Women to meet and connect with new people.

Young women inspired by GirlBoss workshops

By Megan Connolly

Young women at Wainuiomata High School were fortunate to have a visit from GirlsBoss founder, Alexia Hilbertidou, last Wednesday.

GirlBoss are workshops that inspire young women and help them to build resilience and confidence, identify issues they care about so they can find their own ‘WHY”, and become aware of challenges and develop strategies to overcome them.

The workshops cater to all ages and stages of young women by helping them brainstorm ways to powerfully

impact their own communities along with practical skills that will be used later in life when it comes to employment.

Lisa Fraser, careers organiser, says the day went really well.

“At first the students were somewhat shy and reserved but once Alexia started with her ice-breaker (Rock, paper, scissors, the EXTREME version) the girls were full of energy and the whole dynamic changed.

“They were all engaged and their confidence improved quickly,” Lisa says.

Two workshops were held during the day, one aimed at Year 9 -11 girls who

have an interest in Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics and the other aimed at year 11-13 girls who are interested in becoming leaders.

The STEM workshop had girls try their hand at racing mini robots and after mastering the skill they competed in various robot challenges.

Founder Alexia was there to take the girls through all the fun and challenges while offering the young women personal inspirations.

GirlBoss New Zealand was founded in late 2015 to close the gender gap in STEM, entrepreneurship and Leadership.

Stop sore throats hurting young hearts We are seeing so many people in the pharmacy right now with sore throats!

Thankfully most sore throats, if treated quickly, can be easily managed with lozenges, throat spray or even gargling with salt water.

If a sore throat is left untreated in children, however, it can lead to complications such as rheumatic fever, and possibly heart damage.

Rheumatic fever Most sore throats get better on their own, but if “strep throat” is not treated with antibiotics it can cause rheumatic fever in at-risk children.

Because rheumatic fever is such a serious illness, all sore throats in Maori and Pacific children and young people (aged 4 and above) need to be checked.

If your child has “strep throat”, they’ll be given antibiotics to clear up the infection before it can develop into rheumatic fever. Rheumatic fever makes the heart, joints, brain and skin swollen and painful. While the symptoms of rheumatic fever

may disappear on their own, the inflammation can cause rheumatic heart disease, where there is scarring of the heart valves.

Rheumatic heart disease can be life threatening.

If your child develops rheumatic fever they will need a lot of bed rest and time off school. They’ll need to stay in hospital for weeks, where they will have examinations and blood tests to check their condition. It will be more difficult for them to play sport or to take part other activities as they will have less energy. It will also mean years of antibiotic injections.

Don’t take a chance with your child’s health If you have concerns about your child’s sore throat, then call into Clive’s Chemist or your GP clinic. If necessary, your child will be given antibiotics. Or call Healthline on 0800 611 116 (available 24 hours a day, seven days a week).

School Holidays Sharing Stories of Wellington

By Tom Etuata.

When I was a child living in Wellington in the 1970s, the Wellington CBD had an abundance of movie theatres. My favourite movie theatre when I was a kid was CINERAMA, 59-61 Courtenay Place. It was the movie theatre where I saw STAR WARS for the very first time in the Summer of 1977. I was 6 years old.

Built in 1933-34 it was originally called the State Theatre until 1966, when it was renamed Cinerama – part of a chain of movie theatres which used three overlapping film projectors to screen movies on a huge wide curved screen.

In 1972 the curved screen was replaced with a wide-format flat screen to enable the screening of 70mm wide format films. At

that time, it had the largest conventional screen in Wellington (even exceeding the Embassy). In my youth, Cinerama was the place to see the top films of the time.

Not only did I watch Star Wars for the first time there, I also saw Battlestar Galactica (1979), The Empire Strikes Back (1980), Dune (1984), and dare I say it, Crocodile Dundee (1985), Rambo: First Blood Part 2 (1985) and Top Gun (1986).

With commercial property developers taking over several old Wellington buildings in the 1980s, Cinerama eventually closed and was demolished in 1987. Even though it’s long gone, the memory of Cinerama still lives on. The original front sign is currently displayed in the Telling Tales section on the ground floor at Wellington Museum

Waiata warms up a cold night

There was a change of plan last Friday night for the ‘& Kai’ event but thankfully it all turned out for the better.

Beautiful waiata filled the cool air of Queen St as locals popped in for their evening takeaway.

Some even stuck around and sang along

with musicians Mate and Sep Taitua.

The chill was held off by some warm free hot chocolates from Love Wainuiomata’s Esther King.

If you’re ever down Queen St on a Friday evening from 5.30pm, keep an eye out for fun activities to do while you wait for you tasty takeaways. You surely won’t be alone.

SPORT Sports talk

11

with Jacob Page

Gatland gets his wish and we should be happy about it Warren Gatland’s return to New Zealand rugby is one of the most stunning outcomes in the game politically in recent times.

Gatland, who has coached Wales since 2008 and will finish after this year’s World Cup, had been a potential replacement for Steve Hansen as All Blacks coach at the end of this tournament.

With the national job likely to go to Ian Foster, it’s likely Gatland, a former Waikato captain, has possibly seen the writing on the wall and realised he’d have to go back to Super Rugby to have any chance of going forward to the All Blacks job in the future.

What is most stunning is New Zealand Rugby’s willingness to have him come back from coach-

ing internationally overseas and go straight into Super Rugby.

Usually, the top brass have been eager to promote within the New Zealand rugby scene, like Crusaders’ coach Scott Robertson.

It likely opens doors for the likes of Ireland coach Joe Schmidt, or former Canterbury coach Rob Penney to come back to chase the top job at some

point.

Gatland has signed a four year deal with the Chiefs but will coach the British and Irish Lions in South Africa in 2021.

The new contract is similar to when the New Zealand Rugby Union look to keep a big name player, they offer a sabbatical to try to keep them plying their trade in New Zealand.

The Gatland signing is a coup for all involved.

Gatland is an experienced, quality coach with a track record for proven and sustained success.

To have a coach like him waiting in the wings to coach the All Blacks if and when the time is right, is simply an embarrassment of riches for rugby in this country.

Local girls have big rugby dreams

By Megan Connolly

Girls can do anything. That’s what the Wainuiomata Intermediate School girls’ rugby team want you to know.

The team of 13 girls will be heading to Tauranga in September to play in the AIMS Games tournament to play rugby.

They are the only girls’ team being sent to the games in the Wellington region so it’s understandable the young women want to prove themselves and show off their natural talent.

“We’re all girls and we wanna show how it’s done,” student Ella Hakaraia, says.

To prepare the girls are training once a week for an hour and a half, however many of the girls all play league or rugby outside of school.

When asked how they feel about playing and the tournament, it was a song of excitement.

“Amazing”, “very good”, “confident”, “super hyped,” they all say.

This girls’ rugby team also

won the Wellington 7s in April this year.

“Girls can do just as well as boys,” one of the students says.

“It’s a great opportunity because we can show that Wainuiomata has great players and can show females can play rugby, not just boys,” student Madison Gray says.

The team were given a grant by the Hutt Mana Trust to purchase girls specific rugby uniforms which they got to try on for the first time last Friday, much to their excitement.

“We look like a team,” one of the youngsters says.

The girls have been working hard to raise money for their trip through selling raffles, firewood and last Thursday night, they held a school social.

Last year the intermediate school sent the boys’ team and next year, they hope to send both the boys’ and the girls’ teams.

If you would like to support the girls’ team, get in touch with Wainuiomata Intermediate School.

Harriers sucess at Dorne Cup Recently Wainuiomata Harriers set out at the 93rd annual Dorne Cup cross-country races held at Trentham Memorial Park.

The typically hard and fast course was no different this year, although it included an extra water jump making for fun photography for some.

The course is typically suited to track runners due to its fast and flat nature and

covers most of Trentham Memorial Park, the riverbank and a bit of bush track.

The annual Dorne Cup race is one of the biggest of the season and is a selection race for the North Island Cross Country Championships in Taupo which will be held in a couple of weeks, as well as the National Cross Country Championships coming up in Upper Hutt in August.

Leading the charge is Hanna Hoffman, one of the promising young junior women running with the local Harrier club. PHOTO: Supplied

Out of a great turnout of 17 local runners competing in the races, two finished with top ten placings.

Cameron Forsyth, one of the club’s most promising up and coming young runners finished 8th in the men under 18 grade, on his 16th birthday, making him the youngest in his grade.

In the under 10 race, Penny Houlihan sprinted in to take ninth place. With both of these athletes, along with several others competing in Taupo in a couple of weeks, they will have used this event as a good blow-out before the impending North Island Cross Country Championships.

Cameron is competing in the Wellington team at

this event.

The Harriers’ next club meeting is at our clubrooms, Richard Prouse Park this Saturday meeting at 1.45pm.
