‘MUCH WORK TO BE DONE’: As the Government announced its welfare-focused Budget yesterday, which it expects to help lift up to 33,000 children out of poverty, SuperGrans Tairawhiti chef Gypsy Maru was dishing up 260 meals for whanau who are in accommodation without cooking facilities. SuperGrans manager Linda Coulston welcomed the $3.3 billion welfare injection but “there is much work to be done”. Oasis Community Shelter manager Lizz Crawford was also happy with the boost but worries the money will not stretch as far as the Government predicts. Story on page 3.

by Jack Malcolm

VESNA Radonich has overcome every adversity thrown at her and come out the other side as a world-class athlete. Born with a hearing disability, Radonich had trouble finding her place in sport at an early age. Coaches didn’t know or didn’t care enough to help find solutions for her barriers to entry. Then she found waka ama. For the first five years of her life she was incorrectly diagnosed, with people seeing her as a “problem child” who didn’t listen and potentially had ADHD. Later that low self-esteem from her misdiagnosis was a contributing factor to her depression, an experience she has talked about as part of a video series for depression. org.nz. Exercise was one way Radonich addressed her mental health. She was first introduced to waka ama when she was living in Australia, but lost direction for a while. She realised she could find her way back by returning to the sport she loved, and coming home to New Zealand. Having paddled competitively now for 20 years, Radonich has accumulated a wealth of experience — experience she uses to coach paddlers from across the globe. She said she had been excluded most of her life and wanted to create an environment where everyone can participate. “I’ll work with them to bring out their strengths to be the best paddler they can be, to use their strengths to help empower them.” IN ACTION: Vesna Radonich, international paddling coach, dominated the field in the 16km master women’s division to As a paddler, Radonich dominated the win by over five minutes at this year’s Waka Ama Long Distance Nationals in Picton.
