NOR’WEST NEWS Latest Christchurch news at www. .kiwi Tuesday June 27 2017 5 RECOGNITION: Kendo coach Karl Hitchcock with TV3 news anchor Mike McRoberts receiving his award. Right: He is pictured with members of the Canterbury Kendo Club. Film inspires volunteer’s 30 years of kendo • By Julia Evans WITH A name like Hitchcock, it doesn’t come as a surprise it was a film that inspired the Merivale coach who received an award for his volunteer work. First seeing kendo on television in the early 70s, it wasn’t until Karl Hitchcock saw the first Star Wars film in 1977 that he began practising the sport himself. “When I saw it first, it was something I wanted to do and then when the Star Wars movies came out, it made me want to do it even more,” he said. Although he did admit the early Star Wars films didn’t really get kendo right – it was 1999’s The Phantom Menace that was choreographed by a kendo instructor. “It was the only good thing about that movie,” he said. Fast forward 11 years and in 1988 Mr Hitchcock co-founded the Canterbury Kendo Club – Sei Tou Ken Yu Kai – with Alex Bennett. Last week during Volunteer Week after almost 30 years and 12,000 hours of dedication to kendo, Mr Hitchcock received an award for his service. When it began, Canterbury Kendo was one of the first kendo clubs in New Zealand and the first in the South Island. “Back in the early days there weren’t many people doing it,” Mr Hitchcock said. Now the club has up to 40 regular members, which the club puts down to his commitment to the sport. Mr Hitchcock coaches both children and adults classes for eight hours a week on a Monday, Wednesday and Friday at the club’s Sockburn dojo. For Mr Hitchcock, there is a very deep connection to the sport – he finds it centres and relaxes him, helping with his bipolar disorder. “I use kendo as a mirror for my mental health … kendo evens me out,” he said. Plans for campaign to help newcomers • By Julia Evans A CAMPAIGN to get strangers smiling at each other could be on the cards for Papanui. Papanui-Innes Community Board members who attended a recent national community board conference have suggested that the board explore a “smile campaign” for the area. Board chairwoman Ali Jones (right) said the idea is based on welcoming new people into the region and community. “We were so good coming together after the earthquakes, people are still doing it really hard in parts of our ward and this is a campaign about telling people they are not alone, we as a community are there to support and help them,” Ms Jones said. The board is looking at including local school students as photographers, designers, videographers to run posts on its Facebook page. She said the idea was inspired by the campaign successfully run by the Ashburton District Council last year. The district council set up a sofa at events and around the area for residents to stop and have a conversation with a stranger from a different background. However, it ran for the first time in 2015 in Christchurch by the Canterbury Employers’ Chamber of Commerce as a response to the overseas workers coming for the rebuild. “The premise behind the Ashburton “smile” campaign may not be applicable to a Papanui Innes or even Christchurch context, then again it may be,” Ms Jones said. She said because it’s very early days, the board will need to consider costs and how it implements it – possibly using schools, community groups and local shops. The board will be holding a workshop about how the campaign could be organised in the ward as soon as possible. “The board hopes to have a presentation from the Ashburton campaign team, very soon so we can start to progress things from there,” Ms Jones said. seconds | samples | clearance find your new object of desire at our christchurch outlet store. great selection of furniture, gifts, home decor & kitchenware all reduced to clear opening this saturday! 43 garlands road, woolston mon - fri 9am - 5.30pm sat - 9am - 5pm sun - 10am - 5pm www.nood.co.nz
