International honour for emerging sci-fi author Continued from page 1.

Mike Resnick was an internationally renowned science-fiction author of more than 200 novels and he was well known for spotting emerging talent.

For the competition, Christopher submitted his short story of 7500 words which was then judged by a series of New York Times’ best selling authors Along with prize money, Christopher’s story was purchased and published by Galaxy’s Edge and he was paid a professional rate for his story.

The outcome was announced at the DragonCon in Atlanta, Georgia, which Christopher was invited to attend but was unable due to COVID-19 restrictions.

“For me, it’s not just about gaining an award but actually having my first professional publication which is really neat,” Christopher says.

“It’s great to have my name out there but also have other people get the chance to read and enjoy my stories.”

Christopher has won 10 awards for his writing since 2018.

Christopher, who works for the Ministry of Education, grew up in West Virginia in a family where Star Trek was “a very holy and sacred thing” where he and his

siblings would build rockets on their farm.

“My Dad is a glass artist and one of my brothers works for NASA, so it all comes together.

“I’ve been writing for 12 years so I feel like I know the components of what makes a compelling story by this point.”

Christopher’s story covers the impact of a volcanic eruption which curtailed life some 10 years earlier.

His story follows the journey of a captain of a living starship who is against euthanasia and his quest to save a critically ill baby starship from that fate.

Christopher says he took some inspiration from the White Island disaster in 2019.

“I wanted to write something that cut to the heart and I needed to guide readers to a vulnerable state in an effort to get them to sympathise with a character who was doing the wrong things for the right reasons.

“To know that authors who I have read a lot of think enough of my writing for this award is just really thrilling.”

Christopher says he would eventually write and publish a novel.

He currently has three on the go and hopes to one day see them gain publication.

Cummings Park intruders worry playground builders A persistent stream of intruders, some abusive, who are determined to take a dangerous shortcut are frustrating the team rebuilding the playground in Ngaio’s Cummings Park.

The playground is presently a closed-off worksite, with earthworks still under way and machinery and trucks moving about the site. But that has not stopped a number of people scaling or moving protective fences, and ‘bush-bashing,’ to get through the site.

Wellington City Council Play Spaces Specialist Matt Beres, who’s in charge of the playground upgrade, says workers on the site have been abused when several members of the public have been told to stop trying to take shortcuts through the site. “There are ‘no-entry’ signs and fences on all sides of the site – but some people are insisting on trying to get through.

“When they’re challenged, some of them, including mid-

dle-aged men and women who should know better, have resorted to abusing the crew on site.

“This is out of order,” says Matt. “These people are putting themselves in danger – there are foundation holes all over the site, trucks backing in – that sort of thing. These individuals are clambering around the fence closing one footbridge, and shimming along the side of the bridge, so there is the potential to fall into the stream.

“We’ve beefed up the barriers, and in spite of this, some individuals are hell bent on forcing their way through.”

Matt says it appears some people are trying to take the shortcut from Awarua Street to the Cummings Park Library or Ngaio Station. “If they stick to Ottawa Road and Awarua Street they’ll get there almost as quickly.”

Glenn Smith, Project Manager of playgrounds design and construction company Creo, which is working on the upgrade, says

inbrief news Victoria University vice chancellor to retire The Vice-Chancellor of Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington, Professor Grant Guilford, has announced he will retire from his role in early March 2022.

Professor Guilford took over as Vice-Chancellor of Te Herenga Waka in March 2014.

“It has been a privilege to serve this great university and its staff and students, however, after what will be eight years as Vice-Chancellor,“ he says.

Abusive intruders are hampering the rebuilding of the playground in Ngaio’s Cummings Park.

the intruders are frustrating his crew. “If one of these people gets hurt then we’ll ultimately be responsible.”

Matt says work on the $350,000 playground is progressing well and it should be completed in mid-October, weather permitting.

“We’ve had our challenges – there was the big flood in mid-July that did quite bit of damage, we’ve had

materials delays and of course the level 4 lockdown – but things are looking good. He says it’ll be a “huge improvement” on the old playground. It features new equipment that’ll attract and challenge youngsters and older children alike – and ample seating for the adults along with extensive planting and landscaping.

Christmas talent wanted Calling all performers with a Christmas twist!

Wellington City Council is looking for talent for our annual A Very Welly Christmas two-day event on November 27 and 28.

Whether you perform on the streets, as a group on the stage, have something exciting to share with the crowd, or just want to get involved, we want to hear from you!

Anything considered especially if you can add that festive flair.

Harriet gets her Tigey back What started as a lovely lockdown stroll through Trelissick Park, turned into an adventure for a beloved soft toy called Tigey, and tears for five-year-old Ngaio resident, Harriet.

During their walk, Tigey took a tumble down a steep bank.

Faced with the dilemma of risking injury trying to retrieve Tigey, Harriet’s mum, Alycia, had to make the tough decision to leave him there, thinking they wouldn’t see Tigey again, which was an upsetting outcome for Harriet.

“It was very steep, Alycia says.

“It looked like a cliff to me and it was a hard decision to leave Tigey there but

I couldn’t get to it.”

Later that day, unbeknown to him, 10-month-old Labrador, Basil, was about to become a hero dog. While out for a walk in Trellisick Park, Basil scurried down the bank and came back up with Tigey in his mouth.

Owner, Amy, recalls “Basil came up from the bank and proudly dropped him at my feet! I popped it in a tree for safekeeping, and posted on a local community Facebook page that we had found the wee fella with a picture.

Alycia saw the post, and through a neighbourly exchange of information, Tigey’s story was told, his location

provided, and a happy ending secured.

“To be honest, I didn’t believe it was Tigey when I saw the post because I didn’t think anyone could get to it.

“I thought it must have been a dog or a bunch of keen boys who went and got it.

“We’re thrilled to have Tigey home.”

Tigey was retrieved from his safe place in a tree and is now back where he belongs in the arms of one very happy Harriet, and Basil got a bone.

RIGHT: Harriet was a happy child to get her Tigey back after he was feared lost after being dropped down a bank at Trelissick Park.

A fresh start for Ryan

Ryan Davies worked in the Cuba Street Hell pizza store as part of an employment initiative and says it gave him a new lease of life.

Ryan Davies is HELL Cuba Street’s first Active in HELL trainee – an experience as rewarding for the store as it was for Ryan.

How many people say they enjoy work so much they rock up early and get cracking?

Ryan, 22, is the latest trainee through Active in HELL’s doors and thrived at HELL Pizza’s Cuba Street store in Wellington.

“He was originally meant to work from 1pm-3pm, but Ryan loved it so much he ended up doing three-hour shifts instead of two,” explains his Community Connections employment consultant Lars-Erik Brown.

“He’s very keen and motivated to work.”

Active in HELL is a partnership between HELL Pizza and the IHC Group to get young people with intellectual disabilities into paid training in HELL stores around the country. Running since 2013, the initiative has seen more than 150 young Kiwis graduate with new-found skills and life experience.

Before starting his training, Ryan was employed by New World Kandallah but

Showroom: 29 Hutt Road, Thorndon

left to pursue new challenges. He certainly found what he was looking for at HELL. “I was a bit nervous when I started, because I’d never done anything like this before,” says Ryan.

“I feel more confident now and I really enjoyed it.”

During his shifts, Ryan was given tasks such as making cream cheese cubes and stretching pizza dough – something Ryan took very seriously.

“I saw a much greater focus from Ryan when he was at work than I have before, plus he was genuinely happy there,” adds Lars.

Lars wanted to get Ryan into the programme as a means to give him a fresh start after his time with New World ended, to build his motivation and to get him back on his feet. It worked.

“It’s a new future for me,” agrees Ryan.

“I think it’ll help me find a new job.” Lars is equally pleased with the experience.

“I looked at the programme and thought it was New Zealand-leading.

“I couldn’t find anything else that compared, and Ryan has made a success of it. Everyone at HELL has been great to deal with, so it’s been such a positive experience. They’ve been so supportive of Ryan and so welcoming.”

HELL Cuba St team member Helen McNab, who played an instrumental role in training Ryan, says he really impressed her.

“He was very detail-oriented and super focused on his tasks, which is what we want and it makes things so easy for us.

He was really cool to work with!

“We didn’t need to show him how to do anything more than once. I think he would be a really good kitchen hand for prep work, something where you need to focus.”

Helen was in charge of training Ryan, but he wasn’t the only one learning.

“He taught me to communicate and express myself differently. He taught me patience and a few different techniques. I really enjoyed my experience with Ryan.

Chopper called in for fragile pipeline work

BLINDS FOR YOUR HOME AND OFFICE

A helicopter was a regular sight in the skies over Ngaio during the weekend.

The crew were transporting equipment to the Korimako Stream work site in Ngaio.

They are currently replacing a section of fragile pipeline near Korimako Stream, and access to this work site is particularly tricky

Wellington Water had the helicopter back up and running on Saturday, to assist our team as they continue their work to urgently replace the wastewater pipe.

It was important for the crew to respond quickly, to protect the surrounding environment from the risk of a future wastewater overflow.

L2 KICK START DEALS The Ngaio Union Church will do their part to help get donations for the DCM Foodbank on Saturday, September 25.

Calling all grocery shoppers How have you been getting your grocery shopping during the recent Covid lockdowns?

Perhaps you’ve been making socially-distanced trips to the supermarket, or you’ve ordered online, or family and friends have been dropping off groceries at your door.

“Just getting the basics has been a struggle for some,” says Sue Brown, Minister at Ngaio Union Church.

“None more so than people who are experiencing homelessness and rely on DCM for support.”

The DCM Foodbank has been providing four times their usual level of food support during lockdown.

Ngaio Union Church has supported DCM for almost 30 years, collecting groceries and dollars each week to help with their mahi.

“So when we heard that the DCM foodbank had emptied out over the recent lockdown, but that people in Ngaio/Crofton Downs were struggling to drop off new food donations

in the city, while staying home, we knew we needed to do something different,” Sue says.

So on Saturday September 25 from 10am to 12pm, people can drop off groceries and donations for DCM at Ngaio Union Church.

Some of the items most needed are ready meals, soup, tinned fish, biscuits and crackers, tinned fruit, shampoo and conditioner, toilet paper – but any non-perishable food or basic toiletries are very welcome.

“We know the people of Ngaio/Crofton Downs have big hearts and a will to help those who are struggling – why not slip a few extras into your shopping trolley or online order this weekend, and bring them down on the 25th.

“We’ll make sure they get straight down to DCM where they’re needed most,’’ says Sue. Ngaio Union Church is easy to spot at the corner of Kenya Street and Crofton Road - it’s the building with the giant mural painted on the wall.

Stress-Free? YIP! Hey Everyone!

Hope you have been enjoying level 2 and have had a chance to reconnect with friends and family and support our local community!

With Auckland still in level 4 lockdown, we are constantly reminded that the covid environment can change at any moment and we must be responsive and adaptive.

For most people this pandemic is having a major effect on our lives. Many of us are facing new challenges that can be stressful and overwhelming. For us, as Real Estate agents, our hours went up during lockdown with non-stop phone / zoom meetings and we ended up selling every single one of our houses during lockdown.

With all the extra work and uncertainty, it is easy for our bodies to feel unsettled and stressed. This week I want to share some quick tips that I have found useful when trying to keep up in this crazy ‘new ordinary’. s Continuous Improvement – Find something every day to better yourself. It could be learning a new skill, doing some exercises, reading a book, cooking a new meal. When things feel like they are sitting still, it is important to keep your mind healthy and moving forward. s Avoid social media news – If you ever want to lose faith in humanity and the world, just go to the comments section of any social media post about current affairs. The stress and angst of the world is laid bare and can really drag you down. For all news, just go directly to publishers. s Seek help / support – It is absolutely okay to not be okay. There are endless, FREE services out there for people to connect and get support. No matter how hard things may be, there are always people in this world that are more than happy to

lend an ear and help. s Get into a routine – When your normal schedule is affected, it is easy to fall into an endless spiral of Netflix and snacks. Even if you’re currently ‘working from home’ be mindful of your wake-up and sleep times. If your routine changes every day it can affect your mental and physical happiness. s Breathe – One thing that I’ve started to do a lot more is taking some time out to do some diaphragmatic breathing (Yoga breaths, meditation, whatever you like to call it). If you are feeling anxiety and stress building just take some time to breathe.

Although things may seem hard, there is still nowhere in this entire world I’d rather live. Yes! We have had a few extra weeks of lockdown (and that is frustrating), but there are countries who have had lockdown restrictions imposed for well over a year.

Remember, happiness is the new rich, inner peace is the new success, health is the new wealth, kindness is the new cool.

Live simply, give more, expect less – look after each other out there!

Positive social connections in retirement Across New Zealand retirees will be celebrating throughout October, and encouraging family, friends and neighbours to explore safe options to socially connect.

Probus South Pacific’s CEO Silvana said “For the more than 14,000 members of Probus words like restrictions and distancing have become all too common and for this reason alone, they are focusing on their social well-being and connecting with each other, in whatever way possible.”

“Our members frequently tell us that there is one basic truth that applies to almost everyone’s retirement years and that is the need for social interactions.”

“The benefits of socialising are well documented and have proven to have a positive affect both physically and mentally, particularly in the mature generation.”

“For many people retirement certainly comes with it’s own set of joys, challenges and goals. There is no one blueprint for retirement as

we all have different interests and lifestyle - some of us even have our very own bucket lists.” She said.

Probus Club membership often provides a solution for achieving retirement goals, it offers retirees and semi-retirees the opportunity to make new friends, experience new hobbies, participate in a wide variety of activities and enjoy listening to interesting guest speakers.

The 1st of October 2021 is Probus Day, and the Probus Community will be celebrating throughout the

month of October enjoying a wide range of events, functions and activities.

Probus Clubs all over New Zealand have a range of celebrations planned for October including morning teas, picnics, lunches, lighting of landmarks, themed meetings and so much more.

This years’ Probus Day theme is centred on the positive social connections that Probus provides.

Members have been called into action, reminded that they will

be doing their friends a favour by helping them to join, stay engaged and connected through a local Probus Club.

While some areas are currently experiencing increased restrictions or lockdowns at this time, we must be encouraged that there are brighter days ahead. We need to plan for those brighter days Probus members are inviting all retirees to consider joining their local Probus Club to have some much needed fun and friendship.

Te Wiki o te reo Maori celebrated Te Wiki o te reo MƗori is a nationwide week-long celebration of te reo MƗori, and Wellington City Council will be supporting it this week with events and activities online and around the Capital.

The initiative started in 1975 to encourage New Zealanders to use the MƗori language more, which, along with New Zealand Sign Language, is an official language of the country.

“The revitalisation of te reo MƗori has been championed by many generations in Aotearoa and it’s been exciting to see Wellington City Council playing its part to keep the momentum going in the Capital, says Councillor Jill Day (NgƗti Tnjwharetoa).

“Council plays an important role in making sure that the reo MƗori we see in the city is accurate.

“There are a number of names that have been wrongly used on streets and places across the city.

In 2020 Council corrected Te Wharepouri street but there is still more to do. We can’t change what happened in the past, but we owe it to future generations to correct mistakes.

“The Council’s Te Tauihu policy recognises the status of te reo MƗori as a taonga, and this framework has guided us since it was introduced in 2018.

“It’s not just about language though, we now have mana

whenua at our decision making table, a MƗori Ward and increased funding to make Wellington a Te Reo city.

“I look forward to a time where instead of MƗori language week or month, we speak and hear te reo MƗori in every corner of the city.”

Mayor Andy Foster agrees and says that using a few words and phrases of te reo MƗori each day normalises it for everyone.

“We know New Zealanders are embracing MƗori culture as part of our shared heritage, and there is a growing uptake in participants of events like Te Wiki o te reo and Mahuru MƗori, plus demands on classes and online courses.

“With on-going exposure to the language through media, work environments, schools and popular culture, we are hearing and learning and using new te reo MƗori words all the time.

“As a Council, we are increasingly naming streets, parks, playgrounds and facilities to recognise and reflect the history of the area, and to raise awareness and improve the understanding of te reo MƗori around.”

Karepa Wall, TƗtai Heke MƗori – Chief MƗori Officer, believes that Wellington is well on track to support our community to create strong and empowered environments that enable our locals to speak, sing, write and live our

“The presence of te reo and tikanga MƗori in daily life shows the positive change we are making to restore the MƗori language as a nurturing first language here in Pǀneke and Aotearoa.

“Te Wiki o te reo MƗori helps to instil knowledge and a better appreciation of our language and culture, but also gives many the confidence to learn more, practice a lot, and just give it a go. Tukuna

Onesie day celebration

By Gerald Rillstone

Saint Benedict’s School Khandallah put in a huge effort for Onesie Day raising funds for the Wellington Free Ambulance accumulating a total of $453:00 from 300 students.

Principal Michael Hinds encouraged all students at the school

to get involved and not only could they wear a onesie but pajamas, dressing gowns or a hoodie.

“They could wear slippers if they wanted but just not have a pipe and it was all for a gold coin donation. One of the nice things about it is one of the Wellington Free Ambulance drivers is a parent who has two children at

the school,” he says.

“Normally he would bring the ambulance down for a visit but at the moment it is kitted out for Covid so it couldn’t be here.”

Having Onesie day really added to an exciting time for students getting back to school, Michael says, after having a few weeks off at home.

All together in their onesies and pajamas, kids at Saint Benedict's School Khandallah.

All 300 students along with some teachers helped raise $453:00 for the Wellington Free Ambulance.

LEFT: What nicer way is there than to enjoy lunch with your friends in a onesie.

A once a year event, Onesie Day at Saint Benedict's School Khandallah.

Many young athletes suffer pain in the heel when they are active in sports. This condition is often caused by a growth plate irritation, or apophysitis. This condition is called Sever’s Disease, but rather than a disease, it is a mechanical irritation of the growth plate within the calcaneus or heel bone. Dr Halpine of Active Feet Podiatry can help to confirm the diagnosis and offer help and advice. This treatment may include stretches for tight muscles, modification of activities, supportive shoes and orthotic devices. It is very rewarding to offer these young athletes the opportunity to return to pain free sporting activities.

If you or your child suffer with heel pain contact Active Feet Podiatry for accurate diagnosis and treatments plans. Phone 04 473 8696, ActiveFeetPodiatry.com

WORLD

Alzheimer’s Day 21st September 2021

Stonehenge Aotearoa Supports World Alzheimer’s Month We are open in Covid Level 2 but please call to ensure your booking.

Join us in September for World Alzheimer’s Month, an international campaign to raise awareness and challenge the stigma that surrounds dementia. Tuesday 21st September is World Alzheimers Day. Every 3 seconds, someone in the world develops dementia.

Here in New Zealand, 4 out of 5 Kiwis

are affected by dementia. Today, around 70,000 Kiwis are living with dementia and that’s expected to almost triple to 170,000 by 2050. Almost all of us know or have known someone with dementia.

Get involved with the campaign!

With your help, we can make September’s campaign bigger and better than ever. There are lots of ways to get involved.

Overwhelming knowledge of the property market and commitment.

SPORTS TALK With Jacob Page

Banged by Bangladesh - no problem There are a few positives from the Black Caps’ twenty20 defeat in Bangladesh.

The tour has been devalued by the vastly under-strength Kiwi team which was sent over but I am willing to be a glass-half-full kind of guy about it.

Yes, the batting has been rubbish, Colin de Grandhomme in particular, but the pitches have not been well suited to twenty20 cricket.

Targets have been chased down well below a run-a-ball and it has deterred from the overall spectacle.

Ajaz Patel has proven himself to be worth a go as a front-line spinner for the Black Caps and that includes in unfavourable conditions.

Names for the future like Rachin Ravindra, Will Young, Ben Sears and Finn Allen have had a taste of

touring cricket.

While it has not been successful in terms of results, blooding the next generation of national cricketers is time well spent.

It seems clear, Gary Stead and his team have made the T20 format their least important of the three.

As a purist, I endorse the thinking.

I also do not see Kane Williamson’s team or any New Zealand

Johnsonville lawn bowlers eager for new season After a successful 2020-21 season players at the Johnsonville Bowling Club are eager to get back onto the bowling greens for the start of the season.

Unfortunately, the recent lockdown has meant some traditional preseason events around the region have been postponed or cancelled.

Because of this, members are looking forward to being back on the Johnsonville greens which are regarded as some of the best playing greens in the region.

Playing membership has remained strong with the influx of experienced players adding further depth to the club.

The 2021-22 season which officially got underway over the weekend with the opening day on Saturday followed by the Symes Trophy on Sunday.

There was a good turnout, with a mixture of triple and

fours teams playing three 12-end rounds on a sunny but cool and breezy morning, with the afternoon steadily becoming cooler and windier.

The winning team, with three wins, was Brian Cleaver, Pat Maddocks, Lynette Campbell and Craig Hepetema. Runners-up were June Wairau, Lock Chin and Alison Colgate.

The Eric Wallis Tankard is awarded for the first competition toucher of the season and was won by Lewis Rivers.

The Bowls Wellington Interclub competition gets under-

way on the second Saturday of October.

The club won several grades last season and will be looking to repeat this.

Both mens and womens premier sides made the top four playoffs and would be expecting to achieve this again.

The club is hosting a “Have A Go Day’ on Saturday September 25 and Sunday September 26 from 10am to 2pm for anyone who wishes to have a go at bowls as well as seeing the facilities that we have on offer.

Jade earns US tennis scholarship Former Samuel Marsden Collegiate tennis player Jade Otway has signed a playing contract with TCU, Texas Christian University, a private college in Fort Worth.

Their team is part of the top 12 tennis conference in the USA. The scholarship is fully funded for 5 years - all education, accommodation, travel, and insurances.

Jade will start her college year on January 5.

Jade was named Tennis New Zealand’s junior player of the year for 2020.

side, contending for any global trophies in sub-continent conditions.

Some Kiwi fans want the team to play better in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh but the reality is the small player pool generated by New Zealand never sees spin-friendly pitches on home soil.

Therefore, they never face big turners of the ball and therefore we have always struggled away from seamer-friendly or flat pitches.

Cricket fans are in the midst of the golden era of cricket and losing a meaningless T20 series against Bangladesh does not change that.

I give the team no chance of winning the T20 World Cup in India in the coming months and deep down I think coach Gary Stead and co realise their focus is best served in the two longer formats while this glorious core of players remains intact.

Johnsonville Softball Club opens their doors The Johnsonville Softball Club will host a ‘Have A Go Day’ on Sunday at Newlands Intermediate ahead of the new season.

Johnsonville Softball Club has been running in the Northern Suburbs since 1938.

Johnsonville is a family-friendly club catering for boys and girls aged five through to 14, with progression to the senior club at 15, based at Alex Moore Park.

Softball is a great team game to watch and participate in, as it’s fast-paced and actionpacked.

Children get to develop skills in catching, throwing, hitting, base running and most importantly being part of a team.

The players start off learning to hit the ball off a rubber tee and running around the bases, before progressing to softball, where the coach, and then players pitch, as their confidence

and knowledge grows.

The softball community has a focus on fun and participation at this level and is a sport for all.

The ‘Have-a-Go-Day’ is for those who want to give it a try before signing-up.

The club is running two sessions in order to be Covid level 2 compliant.

There will be a five to nine-year-old session from

12pm to 1pm and 10 to 14-year-olds from 1pm to 2pm.

This is an opportunity for kids to try out some of the skills involved in the game in a fun and friendly environment.

Mums and Dads are welcome to get involved and we will have our premier women’s players helping out too.

Softball for ages 5 – 14 ‘Have-a-Go-Day’ Sunday 19th September 12pm until 1pm (u7,u9) 1pm until 2pm (u11, u13, u15) At Newlands Intermediate, for those who want to give it a try before signing up.
