DUCKLINGS RESCUED FROM DRAIN
A brood of ducklings has been scooped to safety
after falling down a drain in east Auckland.
Firefighters received the callout, to Pakuranga’s
Lloyd Elsmore Park, shortly after 3pm on Friday.
On arrival, a male and a female duck could be
seen hovering around the top of a stormwater
drain, Fire and Emergency communications
manager Paul Radden said.
‘‘The pair were obviously distressed,’’ he said.
Senior firefighter Zach Wiseman was able to
rescue all four duckings from the drain, but sadly
one duckling died shortly after.
‘‘It’s very sad but the good news is the three
ducklings are doing well,’’ Radden said.
‘‘They waddled off with mum and dad.’’
Krystal Moon said her daughter Natalia does

Solo mum’s ‘magic’ car wash win
CHRIS HARROWELL
Mereana Te Pere used to get
around in a 2003 Toyota with
almost 300,000km on the clock.
But the solo mum received a
major surprise, in the form of a
brand new car, when she
recently rocked up to a south
Auckland service station.
She and her 12-year-old
daughter Ahumairangi Te Pere
thought they were at the BP
Pacific station in Manukau to
serve as extras for a television
advertisement.
They followed the crew’s
instructions by driving their
Toyota Caldina through the sta-
tion’s ‘‘magic’’ car wash.
What they didn’t know is the
wash was equipped so certain
customers’ vehicles would be
filled with prizes including a
motorbike, paddle boards,
kayaks, surfboards, and bicycles.
When the Te Pere family, who
live in Manurewa, got to the
other end of the car wash they
were greeted by a sign saying
they’d won a new vehicle. It
turned out to be a 2018 Ford
Ecosport.
The people filming her for the
advert said they’d heard of the
great work she’s done in the Te Pere says she ‘‘feels like a million bucks’’ when driving around in her new Ford vehicle. CHRIS HARROWELL
