Making Shiloh’s little heart whole

Shiloh McMillan, pictured here with mum Charlotte, has open-heart surgery at the end of the month in Auckland. It is going to make her heart whole again. Shiloh, 10 months old, was born with two holes in her heart, and one side of her heart bigger than the other. Valentine’s Day today is also known as Little Heart Day, for the 12 babies born every week in New Zealand with a heart defect. Her parents Charlotte and Neil McMillan will be based in Auckland at Ronald McDonald House for a month as their daughter recovers in Starship Hospital. A Givealittle page has been created to help this Gisborne family. STORY PAGE 2 Picture by Rebecca Grunwell

The blaze that destroyed the nearly 100-year-old former Kaiti Presbyterian church in Rutene Road on Wednesday was caused by an electrical event in a switchboard at the rear of the building. Specialist fire investigator Derek Goodwin examined the remains of the church and established that as the cause. “The fire crews who tackled the fire did an absolutely fabulous job in cutting it off from the rest of the church complex and from the playcentre alongside,” Mr Goodwin said. “Whatever was going on with that switchboard was a slow progressive fire that people would not have noticed until they could smell smoke or see it. It was an old building and tinder dry.” Inset: A Gisborne Photo News shot of the church in 1974.

Moriori descendants and representatives of the Crown will meet in Rekohu, or the Chatham Islands, today for the signing of the Moriori Treaty Settlement.

The 1916 and 1946 editions of the School Journal taught generations of school children many myths about Moriori. They include that they were wiped-out by Maori during an 1835 invasion, and that they were conquered due to their inferiority. The chief negotiator for the Moriori settlement, Maui Solomon, said the settlement would right those wrongs.

SURF LIFESAVING by Murray Robertson WAIKANAE will have five crews competing in the BP North Island IRB surf lifesaving championships this weekend. Among them will be driver Connor Mitchell and crewman Oliver Shivnan, aiming to add to their successes last year. The Surf Life Saving New Zealand event will be staged at Paekakariki Beach on the Kapiti Coast near Wellington tomorrow and Sunday. Mitchell and Shivnan and their patient, Harry Allan, won all four titles in the under-22 division of the North Island event last year. They also did exceptionally well at the New Zealand championships. “Oliver and I and our new patient, Silke McNaught, will be looking to repeat last year’s results,” head coach Mitchell said. The overall team had grown substantially since the 2019 events. “We have two more teams this season.” The club’s under-23 A team members are Mitchell, Shivnan and McNaught (the age- group has changed from u22). In the u23 B team, Cole Williams (driver), Sam Blackburne (crew) and George Allan (patient) are back together again. They also did well last season. The open women’s team members are driver Britta Carrol, crew Ana Naden and patient Emily Horne. Harry Allan will take the tiller this year in the club’s u19 men’s team, with Travis Mitchell as crewman and Harry’s brother George Allan as patient. The u19 women’s team members are driver Holly Hope, crew Aoife Fyall and patient FOUR FROM FOUR: The Waikanae inflatable rescue boat under-23 crew will this weekend look to emulate the Emily Horne. achievements of the equivalent crew at last year’s North Island champs, where they won all four under-22 titles “I feel this year we have a very strong (the age group has changed since then). Above, the 2019 crew (from left) patient Harry Allan, crewman Oliver contingent for the North Islands — our biggest Shivnan and driver Connor Mitchell are all concentration on their way in to the beach. Below, Mitchell sprints team yet with 13 competitors across five teams to the finish as Shivnan (left) and Allan wait in the IRB. This weekend five Waikanae crews compete in the 2020 and four divisions,” Mitchell said. North Island championships on the Kapiti Coast. Pictures copyright Geoff Ridder “Our under-23 men’s B team of Cole, Sam and George have their first year in that division, but have looked good at training and should make most finals, along with a few podium finishes. “The open women, Britta and Ana, have been putting in a lot of effort over the summer and winter, joined by patient Emily Horne. They are hungry for medals this year. “Our under-19 men, Harry and Travis, are looking good for their first year of competition, and have picked up the skills and drive needed to produce some top-quality results. “The under-19 women, Holly and Aoife, are competing in a new young female division, and skills picked up at training over the past year and a half should give them good results.” He said that with five teams and a good skill base from all competing, Waikanae should be in the running for a strong overall result. Last year the club came third overall. “I am after an improvement and good results for the club this time round.” Tomorrow before competition starts, Mitchell, Shivnan and patient Harry Allan will compete in a selection trial against four open men’s teams for a shot at representing New Zealand. The championships this weekend will feature 174 individual athletes — 72 of them females — from 14 surf lifesaving clubs throughout the North Island. Clubs that will be represented are: Waikanae, Bethells Beach, East End, Kariaotahi, Mairangi Bay, New Plymouth Old Boys, Opunake, Paekakariki, Pauanui, Piha, Red Beach, Sunset Beach, Waimarama and Westshore.
