Regina Tito: from sleeping rough to helping the homeless
BODY:
Kathryn Ryan talks to Regina Tito about turning her life around from sleeping rough on the streets to helping Wellington's homeless. She's also the subject of a short documentary film on the homeless in the capital.
EXTENDED BODY:
Regina Tito has bravely put her life’s story on show in a short documentary talking about wellington’s homeless community. She works with the Downtown Community Ministry in the capital, helping some of the city’s most vulnerable residents. And she knows what they’re going through. Regina has first-hand experience living on the streets after periods of, as a very young teen, walking out of a violent household to fend for herself. She slept rough and she’s had some stints in prison, but she has turned her life around, she’s got herself an education and she is now helping the community she knows well. She has also raised a family and is a grandmother.
The documentary is called Street Smart, it is screening as part of the Loading Docs 2016 films.
Read an edited excerpt from the interview:
Take us back to your teen years, to your childhood. How was it that sleeping rough was preferable to staying at home?
When my younger sister was five and I was seven, we were placed into foster care. That was due to some violence that was going on at the time. I never witnessed any of that. When we were reunited with our mother when I was 11, that was when I started seeing the violence that she was experiencing. One of the times I recall was, in order for Mum to keep us safe she would take us to what is now the Embassy Theatre, when they had midnight movies. She would take us in there to be safe and that was just after an event where she may have just been beaten. So we would sleep or we would be in the theatre until it was safe to go back to the property where we were staying at the time.
As a child in this environment, you began to get used to the idea of going somewhere to be safe because home was not safe.
Absolutely. Those are probably some of the things that I had instilled in me; that it was better to be out of the house in order to be safe. So later on, choosing to go on to the streets and stuff, that is the direction that I took.
How old were you when you first started to sleep rough? Was it for short stretches sometimes?
Like I said before, 11 was when we were reunited with Mum and it was between then and through to 15 when I was often on the streets. They were off and on stints. If I needed to go home and have a shower, that is what I would do. That is what a lot of our homeless community might do if they have got somewhere where they can shower. Going back onto the streets it was just to be safe and to be around a like-minded community who knew what I was going through and who understood the things that were happening at home and who were supportive.
~
What changed for there to be a time where you no longer went out on the street?
There was a period of… what they called Borstals back in the day. I was in what was called corrective training. It was at Arohada prison. I was pregnant at the time also, I was carrying my first child in prison and when I was released and I had baby, the thoughts of, “Okay, now I’ve got a child, I can do better things.” I recall very clearly: “I am never going to let this happen. I am never going to let this happen to my daughter.” But the thing for me at the time was there was so much going on inside that needed to be dealt with before I could be stable before I could be a good parent.

She's written a book called Chemo and Back Again and for every book purchased, one will be donated to a Breast Caner sufferer in hospital.
EXTENDED BODY:
Getting a diagnosis of cancer is a scary time for anyone. Then comes possible surgery and often gruelling treatment.
Andrea Fairbarin has had cancer twice and has written the book Chemo and Back Again about her experiences.
She wrote it to pass on to others going through the cancer journey tips and practical advice she learned the hard way.
Andrea wrote the book over five years to show the really realistic journey cancer sufferers have to endure – both the gritty and the positive aspects.
In many ways life doesn’t go back to the way they were and it’s really important to know how to deal and adapt with life after cancer, she says.
Andrea Fairbarin’s journey began when visited her GP on unrelated issue, but decided to give her a breast check and then suggested referred her for a mammogram.
She says she didn’t take the suggestion very seriously to start with, but after being tested was diagnosed with cancer, for the first time, on her 39th birthday.
Before her cancer diagnosis Andrea had already spent lots of time in hospital as a child which an unusual eye condition which required 25 surgeries before she was 20.
Andrea says that in the first year of having cancer she didn’t see it coming and wondered “how did this happen?”
“The main or me the thing was this wasn’t how my life was supposed to be. I didn’t see it coming. I do yoga, I don’t drink, I don’t smoke. I’m healthy and [I have] no family history – surely there’s a mistake here.”
While she learned a lot the first time she had cancer, she decided to help others with their experience the second time, which included writing a blog.
For every one of Andre’s books purchased, one will be donated to a Breast Cancer sufferer in hospital
She talks to Kathryn Ryan about her experiences and the advice in her new book.
Read and edited excerpt from their conversation where Andrea shares some of her advice for those who are going through cancer treatment
What did you learn about chemo that you want to share?
What I learned about chemo is that for people who have had chemo it is often worse than having cancer. It is very gruelling treatment depending on the drugs actually. There are lots of different types of chemo and everyone is different, and people have different reactions to the same thing. When I started having chemo I was on a regimen called AC. And I had so much nausea and vomiting and that type of this that I would be hospitalised for the day after, just to keep me stable and keep me hydrated, and that kind of thing. So it’s really learning it the hard way. It’s really like going to cancer and chemo school, like an apprenticeship. Some of things that I learned and had no idea about are quiet difficult to explain to people, especially managers at work, is that quite often with cancer you can be feeling quite good and then you start your treatments and you get sicker, and sicker and sicker. And you’re kind of going down and people think that you are sick and you are getting these treatments and will be getting better and better and better.
What were some of the technical you would do to minimise the emotional or psychological responses during chemo?
That’s huge. There are quite a lot of medications they give you to keep you calm and relaxed. Especially even the night before if you’re feeling nauseas already you’re going to have a bumpier time of it. But the main thing I learned from the first set of chemo into the second was to treat cancer recovery as my job instead of trying to do two jobs. So focusing on that meant I was rested and I got lots of sleep. So every time I went into hospital I felt good, I wasn’t tired, I wasn’t stretched or stressed. I was able to go for walks on the beach and have coffee with friends, that sort of thing. Some of the nurses told me that people who rest more and work less have less side effects. And the side effects are huge.
Is visualisation something that you need to persevere with?
Yes, sometimes having headphones works. Closing your eyes and listening to something. Getting yourself out of that situation. I think it’s really import to be as calm and peaceful as possible and have enjoyment in your life. And I had a rule of no negative stories. Often people you know will feel a bit awkward and start talking and babble a bit and start talking about someone they know who died and you need to create this environment around you that is completely peaceful and positive to keep you on that train.
Was the blog part of your therapy as well?
Yes, two things - the first set of cancer and chemo pushed me to my limits, and also I was fundraising for (the cancer drug) Herceptin as well. And after that it took me quite a while to get myself back and get my spark back and feel good about life.
But when I was diagnosed the second time I thought I had learned everything you had learned, it wasn’t as much of a shock, it was more irritating. But I had a strong feeling that this was about helping others and passing on the things that I had learned and it gave me some meaning. But also I felt this was really important. Because there’s lots of resources out there, there are lots of messages out there in the cancer space. However, hope-filled, practical real resources that give you perspective that keep you full of inspiration all the way through are not always there.

There is alarm among the Deans of humanities departments around the country over looming cuts across arts subjects at Otago University.
Otago's pro vice chancellor of Humanities, Professor Tony Ballantyne has told staff there will be job losses across several subjects, believed to include English, linguistics, music, anthroplogy and languages.
The numbers of students undetaking BA's has been dropping at all universities, and early last year the deans of humanities departments held a strategy meeting to try save the arts degree
They say arts degrees are being devalued as universities come under pressure to focus on vocational degrees such as engineering, science, mathematics and technology.

What is a natural athlete anyway?
BODY:
The Olympics begin on Saturday and as usual officials will be on the look out for athletes using unnatural techniques to improve their performance. But what does natural mean? Is it the best way to weed out cheats?
Philosopher Alan Levinovitz of James Madison University has been looking at this question and says our application of the word natural may be inconsistent when it comes to sport.
EXTENDED BODY:
The battle against doping in sport is a never ending one as anti doping authorities struggle to keep up with advances in technology and masking agents.
But where does that leave athletes who have had some kind of surgery or use a prosthesis that aids performance, such as the blades used by Oscar Pistorius?
Dr Alan J. Levinovitz from James Madison University's Department of Philosophy and Religion argues that the line is getting increasingly blurry and raises questions about what the word natural actually means when it comes to athletes.
And he says as biotechnology continues to advance it will become increasingly difficult to define "natural".

"It's life on Queen Street, about 1974-1980, and it's focused around the fact that late in the evening, the street was full of V8 cars, the movie crowd would go home, and maybe there were only two or so night club licences in Auckland at that stage, 10pm closing was called late closing, it had only just been introduced I think early 70s, so it was just weird. It was a small town feel there, because the main street was taken over by a bunch of V8 car owners."

The Show about Nothing that changed Everything
BODY:
For a sitcom about nothing, Seinfeld is something of a cultural sensation.
EXTENDED BODY:
For a sitcom about nothing, Seinfeld is something of a cultural sensation.
The show about four self-centred 30-somethings living their lives in New York became must see TV in the 1990s.
The show, featuring Fastidious Jerry, Neurotic George, superficial Elaine and wacky Kramer, started in a very Seinfeld kind of way - two guys in a Korean Deli talking about nothing decide their banter would make a good TV show.
Those two guys happen to be Jerry Seinfeld and writer and comic Larry David.
On paper, no one could have predicted the success of a sitcom about the folly of the four friends living in the Big Apple.
Seinfeld dominated the ratings during a nine-year run and 20 years after the finale, the show is still popular in syndication.
Author and TV critic Jennifer Kesihin Armstrong looks back at how Seinfeld got to air, the impact it had and its continuing appeal in her new book, Seinfeldia: How a Show About Nothing Changed Everything.
She talks to Jesse Mulligan.

1:20 Otago to announce cuts to arts departments
There is alarm among the Deans of humanities departments around the country over looming cuts across arts subjects at Otago University.
Otago's pro vice chancellor of Humanities, Professor Tony Ballantyne has told staff there will be job losses across several subjects, believed to include English, linguistics, music, anthroplogy and languages.
The numbers of students undetaking BA's has been dropping at all universities, and early last year the deans of humanities departments held a strategy meeting to try save the arts degree
They say arts degrees are being devalued as universities come under pressure to focus on vocational degrees such as engineering, science, mathematics and technology.
Professor Paul Spoonley is the Pro-Vice Chancellor of Massey University's College of Humanities and Social Sciences and has been learding the charge to save the BA.

1:25 What is a natural athlete anyway?
The battle against doping in sport is a never ending one as anti doping authorities struggle to keep up with advances in technology and masking agents. But where does that leave athletes who have had some kind of surgery or use a prosthesis that aids performance, such as the blades used by Oscar Pistorius?
Dr Alan J. Levinovitz from James Madison University's Department of Philosophy and Religion argues that the line is getting increasingly blurry and raises questions about what the word natural actually means when it comes to athletes. And he says as biotechnology continues to advance it will become increasingly difficult to define "natural".
1:35 Sound Archives: Ads for coughs and colds from days gone by
Winter weather is dominating the forecasts at the moment, so today we are turning to the sound archives of Ngā Taonga Sound & Vision to have a listen to what radio from days gone by had to say about this time of year and the inevitable coughs and colds.
Sarah Johnston from Ngā Taonga will play us some of those old radio ads.
