2 Tuesday June 21 2016 Inside FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK SOUTHERN VIEW News...................................3,5,6 IT IS a sad fact that bullying is not only prevalent in schools, but in many other facets of life. Vicki Edwards-Brown is the driving force behind Be The Change, an anti-bullying programme that started after she saw a lack of empathy for those subjected to schoolyard harassment. The actress and singer talks about not only the programme but her stint on Shortland Street on page 8. On page 6, reporter Donna Miles talks to the Canterbury Muslim Community Trust. Though they do not suffer the same levels of “islamophobia” compared to the rest of the world, there is still a way to go in understanding the different cultures of the 40 ethnic groups that represent the Muslim community in the city. 11 Have a good week.

SOUTHERN VIEW Tuesday June 21 2016 3 News Move forces resignation • By Tom Doudney HAGLEY-Ferrymead Community Board deputy chairwoman Islay McLeod has resigned because she is moving back to Dunedin. Ms McLeod was critical of the performance of her board which she said suffered from a lack of local government experience. Her departure will not trigger a by-election this close to elections in October and Ms McLeod said she had checked to make sure this was the case before resigning. “A lot of people in good faith voted for me and I would be letting them down if I cost the ratepayers anything or if there was anything significant coming up,” she said. “There are not a lot of major issues coming up. The Annual Plan is all sorted, the Replacement District Plan is pretty well sorted.” Asked if her second term on the board had been a good experience, Ms McLeod said “not particularly.” “My first term was good because there were good steady hands with very experienced and practised people like Bob Todd, who was the chair, and David Cox,” she said. “In this latest term, out of the seven of us, four had no local government experience at all.” She said at times the board had not been proactive enough when it came to taking a stand on local issues, such as the date for building a Linwood-Woolston pool continually being delayed. “Just putting in a submission like everybody else isn’t the way,” she said. “I think the board could have and should have had a more powerful and vocal say on what is happening in our ward.” Board chairwoman Sara Templeton said she didn’t think that a lack of experience was evident on the board. “I think this board has actually been incredibly passionate and vocal about a range of different issues and has taken it to council on many occasions and pushed for things.” Ms McLeod will also step down from the Christchurch West Melton Zone Committee. She moved to Christchurch 12 years ago to be close to her mother who had health problems. Her mother passed away at the end of last year. MOVING ON: Islay McLeod has resigned from the Hagley- Ferrymead Community Board.

The ramp was installed by Naylor Love Construction, which contributed labour and materials in conjunction with Carters building supplies. The library is housed in a relocatable shepherd’s hut built by Ara Institute of Canterbury students at the Woolston Transitional Project site on Ferry Rd. Tree planters and artworks decorated by local school children, bench seating, a noticeboard, bike rack and a new portaloo have also been added to the area. The voluntary library service will be operating from its temporary building four days a week. GRANT AWARDED Waltham Out Of School Hours has been granted $2770 from the Spreydon- Heathcote Community Board’s discretionary response fund to go towards camps for children and uniform replacement.
