Celebrate Matariki with<br />
Tīrama Mai light show<br />
CHECK OUT new<br />
commissioned artworks, take<br />
home a free tree, and soak<br />
in the city sights illuminated<br />
by Tīrama Mai this Puaka-<br />
Matariki.<br />
The city council’s annual<br />
Tīrama Mai event starts at the<br />
weekend, celebrating Puaka-<br />
Matariki in the heart of the city.<br />
Te Matatiki Toi Ora The Art<br />
Centre, Te Pae and Riverside<br />
Market will feature a range of<br />
art and lighting installations<br />
each evening from 5pm until<br />
10pm, from tomorrow until<br />
Sunday, <strong>June</strong> 30.<br />
City council manager of<br />
events and arts Lucy Blackmore<br />
said the annual event, which<br />
celebrates the Puaka and Matariki<br />
stars through art and light<br />
installations, projections, music<br />
soundscapes and storytelling is<br />
always evolving with new commissioned<br />
works.<br />
“An installation of<br />
Papatūānuku, titled MOTHER,<br />
will stand four metres high and<br />
two metres wide, featuring a<br />
stunning design by Xoë Hall, lit<br />
up from inside,” Blackmore said.<br />
It will be in the North Quad of<br />
The Art Centre.<br />
“We’ve also partnered with<br />
Trees for Canterbury to give<br />
away <strong>20</strong>00 small native trees<br />
over the festival. Planting a new<br />
tree in your backyard is a great<br />
way to celebrate the time of<br />
renewal that Te Tau Hou (the<br />
Māori New Year) brings, and we<br />
encourage people to take up this<br />
opportunity.”<br />
On select nights, the giveaway<br />
will be based in front of Te<br />
Pae.<br />
Te Pae has close to 10 installations,<br />
including new lightbox<br />
artworks and a projection animation<br />
by Ariki Creative.<br />
“Other giveaways during the<br />
festival include light-up yo-yos<br />
from our sponsor, Orion, for the<br />
young and young of heart, and<br />
a free sausage sizzle run by The<br />
Hits FM,” Blackmore said.<br />
There will also be storytelling<br />
and kapa haka performances on<br />
select nights. The “test night” for<br />
Tirama Mai is this evening.<br />
The Arts Centre will be<br />
hosting a number of events,<br />
including Te Waiatatanga Mai<br />
o Te Atua (Song of the Gods),<br />
a brand-new exhibition at the<br />
Observatory tower which tells a<br />
version of the Ngāi Tahu creation<br />
story, as written down in<br />
1849 by Matiaha Tiramōrehu.<br />
The Matariki Midwinter<br />
Celebration invites attendees to<br />
honour a loved one who made<br />
a significant impact this year,<br />
while the two-night Garden<br />
City Mākete will feature local<br />
artisans, live performances, and<br />
food offerings. There will also be<br />
kapa haka in the Great Hall.<br />

Matariki<br />
Matariki, the Māori<br />
New Year, is a time of<br />
cultural and spiritual<br />
significance. The<br />
annual event marks<br />
the appearance of<br />
the Matariki star<br />
cluster, also known as<br />
Pleiades, in the early<br />
morning sky.<br />
When these nine<br />
stars become visible, it<br />
signifies the start of a<br />
new year in the Māori<br />
lunar calendar.<br />
Matariki comes<br />
from the phrase<br />
“Ngā mata o te ariki<br />
Tāwhirimātea”, “the<br />
eyes of the god<br />
Tāwhirimātea” and<br />
translates to “little<br />
eyes”, highlighting the<br />
stars’ role as important<br />
markers of time and<br />
seasonal change.<br />
The exact date<br />
varies each year, as it<br />
is determined by the<br />
appearance of the<br />
Matariki star cluster in<br />
the predawn sky.<br />
But this year, the<br />
public holiday lands on<br />
Friday, <strong>June</strong> 28.<br />

Safety upgrades to be made permanent<br />
STREETS IN Aranui will be<br />
permanently upgraded to make<br />
the area safer for people heading<br />
to nearby schools, shops or<br />
passing through the community.<br />
The Waitai Coastal-Burwood-<br />
Linwood Community Board<br />
approved installing safety<br />
improvements throughout<br />
Breezes Rd, Shortland St,<br />
Hampshire St and Rowan Ave.<br />
Upgrades including a new<br />
pedestrian crossing, speed<br />
humps, intersection upgrades,<br />
wider footpaths and bollards<br />
were trialled earlier this year,<br />
funded 90 per cent through<br />
NZ Transport Agency Waka<br />
Kotahi’s Streets for People<br />
programme.<br />
The main aim was to<br />
encourage school students from<br />
nearby Haeata Community<br />
Campus, St James School and<br />
Chisnallwood Intermediate to<br />
use active transport modes.<br />
During the trial, residents<br />
told the council they felt some<br />
intersections had been made too<br />
tight, so vehicles were having to<br />
cross the centre line and that the<br />
bollards were unattractive.<br />
After the feedback, changes<br />
were made to the final design<br />
so the intersections will now<br />
be widened to make turns less<br />
harsh, replacing the temporary<br />
bollards with permanent kerb<br />
build outs.<br />
These upgrades were approved<br />
by the board, as well as<br />
permanently installing the speed<br />
humps, platforms, and raised<br />
pedestrian crossings.<br />
Community board chair Paul<br />
McMahon said the safety of<br />
pedestrians, particularly from<br />
nearby schools, was the key<br />
consideration when making the<br />
decision to permanently upgrade<br />
the roads.<br />
“This area is busy with<br />
children playing and lots of<br />
pedestrians – making sure<br />
they’re safe is our priority,” he<br />
said.<br />
“I’m pleased we’ve gone<br />
through the robust trial process<br />
and adapted the designs both<br />
during the trial around Wainoni<br />
Park and St James School, and<br />
then again when making this<br />
permanent decision.”<br />
“The Aranui community<br />
turned out in force to share<br />
their views, and I think we<br />
have the best combination of<br />
making the streets safer for<br />
everyone and responding to their<br />
submissions,” McMahon said.<br />
Mental health mission for Tama the Tui<br />
• By Emily O’Hagan<br />
THE AUTHOR behind a new<br />
children’s book, Tama the Tui has<br />
been down for a while hopes it will<br />
encourage children to open up<br />
when they feel “sad and blue”.<br />
The book, written by Alvante<br />
Harris and illustrated by Maria<br />
Carroll, follows the journey of<br />
Tama the young tui who is feeling<br />
down but learns to share his<br />
feelings with friends and family.<br />
Harris hopes it will encourage<br />
children to share their feelings.<br />
“Not only will it give them the<br />
tools to open up, but it might even<br />
give them the tools to be able to<br />
support people when they need to.<br />
“So, if a friend does open up to<br />
them that they’re not feeling so<br />
good, they’ll have the tools they<br />
need to actually be able to help<br />
them and support them through<br />
that,” he said.<br />
It is the first book Harris has<br />
written after completing his first<br />
draft in <strong>20</strong>22.<br />
He admits mental health is<br />
a difficult topic to discuss in<br />
New Zealand, but believes it is<br />
important for kids to learn about.<br />
“One thing that’s been common<br />
throughout my life, throughout<br />
my friends and family, is people<br />
aren’t very good at opening up<br />
and talking about their feelings,”<br />
Harris said.<br />
“So I figured that if you write a<br />
book for kids, then they can learn<br />
early and get the tools they need<br />
to be able to open up when they<br />
need to.”<br />

Harris shared his book with<br />

Harris has also started an<br />
initiative to help spread his<br />
important message. For every<br />
four books he sells, he’ll donate<br />
another to an organisation,<br />
school, or mental health worker<br />
who could benefit from it.<br />
He has ideas for future stories<br />
but said his first priority will be<br />
getting Tama the Tui translated<br />
into te reo Māori.<br />

The Ritual Effect by Michael Norton<br />
The Transformative Power of Our Everyday Actions<br />
In this ground-breaking and inspiring guide, a renowned Harvard psychologist<br />
demonstrates how turning everyday habits into rituals can improve our work, our<br />
relationships and our lives. These rituals- practices are imbued with symbolic<br />
meaning. And they have the power to turn black-and-white moments into<br />
technicolour. Along the way, Norton shares stories from sporting superstars (Serena<br />
Williams always bouncing the ball five times before her first serve) Rituals can help<br />
us to forge winning teams, heal families experiencing grief and encourage us rise to<br />
challenges, big or small. Now it’s time to create yours.<br />
The Hazelbourne Ladies Motorcycle and Flying Club<br />
By Helen Simonson<br />
The Hazelbourne Ladies Motorcycle and Flying Club captures the ambitions, The<br />
Hazelbourne Ladies Motorcycle and Flying Club captures the ambitions, frustrations,<br />
and inevitable tragedies of women and men emerging from the Great War. After the<br />
war as the country prepares to celebrate its hard-won peace, Constance and the<br />
women of the club are forced to confront the fact that the freedoms they gained<br />
during the war are being revoked. With sharp humor, biting wit, and a warm heart,<br />
Simonson captures the mood of a generation facing the seismic changes brought on<br />
by war. This book is a timeless comedy of manners, refreshing as a summer breeze<br />
and bracing as the British seaside.<br />

Red zone work a fun escape from class<br />
NURTURING nature in the red<br />
zone is where you’ll find George<br />
and Emma each week.<br />
Rain or shine, the pair spend<br />
their Friday mornings mulching,<br />
uncovering hidden plants<br />
and picking up rubbish in the<br />
Ōtākaro Avon River Corridor.<br />
George and Emma belong to<br />
Riccarton High’s Kohanga Ako<br />
class, which is purpose built for<br />
students with special education<br />
needs.<br />
As part of the class’s work<br />
experience programme, the<br />
students collaborate with<br />
the city council parks team,<br />
volunteering their time and<br />
contributing to the red zone<br />
regeneration.<br />
Twenty-year-old George,<br />
who started volunteering due<br />
to his passion for the outdoors,<br />
has an eagle eye for spotting<br />
small pieces of rubbish to be<br />
collected or plants in need of<br />
releasing.<br />
“It’s cool to get away from<br />
the classroom and spend time<br />
outside,” George said.<br />
“I like using the parks tools to<br />
pick up rubbish, it makes it a lot<br />
easier to keep the place clean.”<br />
Eighteen-year-old Emma, on<br />
A DESERTED residential<br />
playground has been brought<br />
back to life as a sensory nature<br />
play park.<br />
Te Kohanga Taiao Sensory<br />
Nature Play Park opened last<br />
weekend on Brooker Ave in the<br />
red zone after two businesses –<br />
Hummingbird Coffee and The<br />
Green Lab – teamed up to work<br />
with the city council on the<br />
project.<br />
Nestled within restoration<br />
plantings thanks to the efforts<br />
of Avon-Ōtākaro Forest Park<br />
Trust, the new park aims to<br />
serve as an educational hub and<br />
a nature haven to encourage<br />
a deeper connection with the<br />
environment.<br />
Its design encourages children<br />
to discover nature by feeling<br />

the other hand, has developed a<br />
keen love for the environment<br />
and after months of practice has<br />
mastered the art of mulching.<br />
“I search for treasure when<br />
I’m looking around too, but so<br />
New sensory park a<br />
space to inspire play<br />
different textures of leaves and<br />
wood, to smell a variety of native<br />
plant aromas, and listen for the<br />
variety in natural sounds like<br />
tapping on wood and rustling<br />
leaves.<br />
“This kind of opportunity<br />
to invent play, to utilise<br />
found materials and discover<br />
interesting spaces to play<br />
are really important for our<br />
children’s sense of independence,<br />
creativity and confidence,” said<br />
city council play advocate Louise<br />
Van Tongeren.<br />
“The play spaces are<br />
deliberately set up to inspire<br />
children to head off and explore,<br />
without being overly prescriptive<br />
about what to actually do.”<br />
Children learn through all<br />
of their senses – for some that<br />
far have just come across old<br />
concrete,” Emma said.<br />
Learning on the job is all part<br />
of the experience, as the students<br />
develop skills and experience to<br />
help them into the work force.<br />
is running and climbing and<br />
others may learn better through<br />
sensory elements, Van Tongeren<br />
said.<br />
“When we provide spaces<br />
that allow for other kinds of<br />
exploration, including calmer<br />
play experiences, we are being<br />
much more inclusive of a wider<br />
range of needs within our<br />
community.”<br />
Last year, the pair brought<br />
the full Kohanga Ako class<br />
down to help with planting<br />
season, proudly showing their<br />
classmates around the area.<br />

Once a former residential area,<br />
the park is now home to multiple<br />
wētā ‘hotels’ and ‘apartments’<br />
made at workshops held at<br />
Phillipstown Community Hub.<br />
These are warm and dry spaces<br />
where ecologically important<br />
native wētā, bees and wasps can<br />
keep safe from predators like rats<br />
and birds.<br />
The park has been designed<br />
partnership ranger Sarah<br />
Mankelow says the work is<br />
a two-way street, providing<br />
valuable experience while<br />
regenerating the area.<br />
“It’s a huge help for us having<br />
these students work in the<br />
ŌARC, and after months on<br />
site they’re experienced enough<br />
that they can occasionally work<br />
unsupervised,” Mankelow said.<br />
“Maintenance is such an<br />
important part of red zone<br />
regeneration, and we’re<br />
grateful to have a helping hand<br />
while providing workplace<br />
experience.”<br />
Maintenance days are<br />
advertised on the city council’s<br />
website, and the council is<br />
always looking for volunteers to<br />
help.<br />
to significantly increase and<br />
encourage the biodiversity of the<br />
area.<br />
A recent ‘bioblitz’ held at the<br />
site as part of the City Nature<br />
Challenge uncovered more than<br />
100 different species of plants,<br />
insects, spiders and fish in just a<br />
few hours.<br />
Council community<br />
partnership and residential<br />
redzone ranger Sarah Mankelow<br />
says the Avon Ōtākaro River<br />
corridor will be a green spine<br />
that stretches from the city to<br />
the sea.<br />
“The opportunity to restore<br />
and protect the river that runs<br />
through the heart of our city and<br />
plan ahead for climate change is<br />
a once in a lifetime opportunity.<br />
“Created for community by<br />
community, it is a beautiful<br />
space for all ages and abilities to<br />
picnic, play and enjoy.”<br />
The Avon-Ōtākaro Forest<br />
Park Trust will take on the<br />
kaitiaki role of ongoing care and<br />
maintenance of the play space.<br />

Teachers run to raise funds for sick mum<br />
• By Jessie Curran<br />
TWO TEACHERS raised more<br />
than $1000 a day for each day<br />
they pounded the pavement.<br />
Daniel Kahura and Thomas<br />
Tennent ran 21km before work<br />
for 21 days to support Kahura’s<br />
sister, Kylie Kahura, who has<br />
stage 4B Hodgkin lymphoma.<br />
Kahura and Tennent both<br />
attended and now teach at St<br />
Thomas of Canterbury College.<br />
Kylie, 35, a mother of four,<br />
received her diagnosis in <strong>20</strong>22.<br />
Despite the all-clear after<br />
chemotherapy, her cancer<br />
returned with increased<br />
aggression late last year.<br />
“Now it’s just a waiting game,”<br />
said Kylie, who awaits further<br />
scans after she completed<br />
another round of chemotherapy,<br />
blood transfusions, and a stem<br />
cell transplant.<br />
She is now enjoying spending<br />
time with her family.<br />
Kylie said she was “truly<br />
blown away” by the support<br />
from the pair and wider<br />
community.<br />
“I am just so grateful and<br />
blessed,” she said.<br />
Tennent, 33, proposed the<br />
idea to Kahura after reading<br />
a book by ultra-runner Ned<br />
Brockmann.<br />
“I was not an ultra-runner<br />
by any means, but I wanted to<br />
do something to make other<br />
people’s lives better,” he said.<br />
Supported by family, friends,<br />
FINISHED: Daniel Tennent, right, and Daniel Kahura, back left, meet Kylie Kahura and her<br />
children PepaMo’ale, Eli Mo’ale, and Faith Mo’ale at the finish line of the final stint.<br />
and the wider community, the<br />
pair trained for eight weeks<br />
before their first run on April 1.<br />
In the two months that<br />
followed, the high-school friends<br />
raised $22,000 through private<br />
donations and their Givealittle<br />
page.<br />
Kahura, 30, said he was<br />
thankful for the support and<br />
generosity of the community.<br />
“I feel super blessed for the<br />
people who have shown their<br />
love and donated to help support<br />
my family.”<br />
But going into the running<br />
challenge, the pair were not<br />
without their doubts.<br />
“I knew doing them back-toback<br />
was going to be tough,”<br />
said Kahura, who feared<br />
he would fail the challenge<br />
after he experienced serious<br />
achilles tendon and lower back<br />
problems.<br />
Tennent, who gave up many<br />
hours of sleep and time with<br />
family, even experienced a<br />
severe case of rhabdo one week<br />
after finishing the last run.<br />
Rhabdo is when muscle breaks<br />
down, releasing contents into<br />
the bloodstream that can be life<br />
threatening if left untreated.<br />
“We made sacrifices and went<br />
through hard times to help<br />
someone who’s going through<br />
harder times than us,” said<br />
Tennent. He has now recovered.<br />
Craig Watson, head of<br />
supportive care for the Cancer<br />
Society Canterbury West Coast<br />
and Otago Southland, said the<br />
financial burden on families<br />
after diagnosis is significant.<br />
“I know of people refusing<br />
treatment because they have had<br />
to choose between travelling to<br />
treatment, or putting food on<br />
the table for their families,” said<br />
Watson.<br />
He said community support<br />
was vital to get families through<br />
a diagnosis.<br />
Kahura and Tennent said<br />
they were thankful they had<br />
experienced the of power of<br />
people.<br />
“It’s important to celebrate the<br />
small wins,” said Kahura.<br />
