DO-GOOD: Local hero and baker Brian Cate also delivers food to struggling families.<br />

• By Julia Evans<br />

BAKER BRIAN Cate starts<br />

work at 1am.<br />

But when his shift is over at<br />

Sydenham Bakery by 10am, Mr<br />

Cate doesn’t always head home<br />

to bed. For the last 16 years,<br />

every Tuesday and Thursday<br />

he has delivered food parcels to<br />

families from Burnside to Belfast<br />

and every suburb in between.<br />

Mr Cate has spent nearly 6000<br />

hours volunteering through<br />

the Papanui Baptist Church, in<br />

conjunction with 0800 Hungry,<br />

delivering food to more than<br />

11,000 families and individuals<br />

in the north-west.<br />

Without Mr Cate at least<br />

14 local families would be<br />

ONE OF the last “gentleman’s<br />

estates” in the city has been given a<br />

new lease of life.<br />

A heritage incentive grant of<br />

$135,979 for Opawa’s Cardowan<br />

estate was approved by the city<br />

council.<br />

The property at 64 Opawa Rd<br />

was built in the 1860s at a time<br />

when the suburb was a desirable<br />

residential area and land was being<br />

subdivided into gentlemen’s estates<br />

for professional men.<br />

But Cardowan was badly damaged<br />

in the earthquakes and subsequently<br />

sold on an as is, where<br />

is basis to TT Properties Ltd,<br />

which want to repair and restore<br />

the home and rejuvenate its large<br />

gardens.<br />

TT Properties Ltd director Tangi<br />

Karati applied to the council for a<br />

heritage grant to help meet the cost<br />

of the work, which is estimated at<br />

close to $300,000.<br />

The $135,979 grant is subject<br />

to a 20-year limited conservation<br />

covenant being placed on the<br />

property.<br />

TOP MARKS to Brian Cate, the Sydenham<br />

Bakery baker on our front page today.<br />

Brian is one of these people who work<br />

odd hours – most bakers do.<br />

His shift starts at 1am and he works<br />

through until 9 or 10am and then his after work time starts.<br />

That includes charity work; delivering food parcels to families<br />

through a programme at his church.<br />

And then it’s off home and he’ll be in the sack by around 5pm<br />

to get enough sleep to start his work day all over again at 1am.<br />

For his charity work, Brent has received a Kiwibank Local<br />

Hero Award, alongside a number of other Cantabrians.<br />

The Local Hero Awards are the real deal. Well deserved Brian.<br />

Lanes for coastal pathway<br />

• By Sarla Donovan<br />

LANES WILL be marked to<br />

separate cyclists and pedestrians<br />

on the Christchurch Coastal<br />

Pathway.<br />

The measures are needed, the<br />

Coastal Pathway Group said,<br />

as the path was attracting an<br />

increasing number of cyclists -<br />

peaking around 5pm<br />

Chairman Scott Babington<br />

said outside that time, there were<br />

currently about 100 walkers and<br />

cyclists a day passing through<br />

Scott Park, “ which is the area<br />

most affected.”<br />

He said on the whole, the two<br />

groups shared the pathway well,<br />

but it made sense to provide<br />

markings and signs informing<br />

users it was a shared space.<br />

The New Zealand Transport<br />

Agency doesn’t impose a speed<br />

limit on shared pathways, but<br />

Mr Babington said they may<br />

need to consider introducing<br />

one.<br />

“Especially with the advent<br />

of electric bikes which may<br />

use the pathway and are often<br />

very powerful and used by<br />

inexperienced cyclists.”<br />

Shared paths are for “slower<br />

more relaxed travel,” according<br />

to the NZTA website.<br />

“On a shared path you<br />

should put your e-bike in a<br />

low power setting and cycle at<br />

a speed consistent with other<br />

users so that it does not put<br />

others at risk or make them feel<br />

uncomfortable when you pass.”<br />

CPG is working on a signage<br />

plan at the moment, which<br />

would be based on the one at<br />

Hagley Park.<br />

“We have other measures<br />

(planned) such as different<br />

surfaces on the pathway to make<br />

the point to users that this is a<br />

shared pathway and if they want<br />

to cycle fast then there are the<br />

on-road cycle lanes to use.”<br />

Mr Babington said there<br />

was standard shared pathway<br />

signage already but it was “very<br />

ugly and visually obtrusive and I<br />

think completely ineffective. So<br />

we are working with the council<br />

on better, more appropriate<br />

options.”<br />

CPG committee member<br />

Janine Banbury said she was<br />

working with a designer to<br />

create pavement graphics and<br />

expected to have them finished<br />

by Christmas.<br />

Redcliffs Residents<br />

Association secretary Pat<br />

McIntosh said they were in full<br />

support of putting better signage<br />

in place.<br />

SAFETY BARRIER INSTALLED<br />

The site of a traffic fatality in<br />

March, when a car left Main Rd<br />

by Shag Rock and went into the<br />

Peacocks Gallop stretch of Main<br />

Rd and the next stage of roading<br />

work is under way, including new<br />

kerbs. The road will be resurfaced<br />

and cycleways built between now<br />

and the end of February.<br />

Christmas tips to keep<br />

your pets safe over the<br />

festive season<br />

‘Tis the season to be jolly! In the spirit of the<br />

coming festive season the staff at McMaster<br />

and Heap Veterinary Practice wish to give<br />

you some helpful tips on how to keep your<br />

pets safe and happy over this busy time.<br />

Festive foods:<br />

Many festive foods can be harmful and<br />

toxic to cats & dogs – here are some of<br />

the major ones that pop up every year at<br />

Christmas time!<br />

Grapes and Raisins - Some types of<br />

grapes and raisins have been shown to<br />

cause kidney failure in dogs when eaten<br />

in toxic quantities. So think before offering<br />

your pet some tasty Christmas cake or<br />

yummy ‘treats’ off the fruit platers.<br />

Onions - Pieces of raw onion, onion<br />

powder, or even cooked onion can cause<br />

damage to red blood cells, which could<br />

result in hemolytic anemia.<br />

Garlic - fresh and powdered forms of garlic<br />

are more potent than onions. These also<br />

cause damage to red blood cells. Cats are<br />

much more sensitive as they have more<br />

fragile red blood cells.<br />

Xylitol - Xylitol is a sugar alternative that<br />

is used in many commercial ‘sugar-free’<br />

candies, gum, and other food items.<br />

Xylitol has been shown to cause severe<br />

hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) and liver<br />

damage in dogs and can be fatal. Xylitol<br />

keeps popping up in unexpected places –<br />

the newest one is peanut butter, so be sure<br />

to read the label carefully.<br />

Macadamia Nuts - dangerous to dogs<br />

when eaten can result in weakness,<br />

depression, vomiting, incoordination, and<br />

tremors. In most cases, dogs developed<br />

clinical signs within the first twelve hours<br />

after eating the macadamia nuts.<br />

Chocolate - Contains Theobromine and<br />

caffeine which can cause increased heart<br />

rate, tremors, and excitation, depending<br />

on the type and the quantity ingested<br />

potentially death when ingested at a toxic<br />

dose. Other effects seen with chocolate<br />

overdose are vomiting, diarrhea, increased<br />

thirst, increased urination, and lethargy.<br />

Dark chocolate is the most serious as it<br />

contains the most theobromine, then milk<br />

chocolate, while white chocolate doesn’t<br />

contain any, but still not healthy for your<br />

dog to have.<br />

Cooked bones – These easily splinter<br />

and the bone shards can cause choking or<br />

get stuck in your dog’s gums or stomach<br />

resulting in emergency surgery. Discourage<br />

your dog from foraging in your bins and try<br />

to secure all of the lids.<br />

Christmas Decorations<br />

Christmas decorations are not for pets to<br />

play with.<br />

• Keep your pet away from plants, many of<br />

which are poisonous, especially lilies which<br />

are extremely toxic for cats and results in<br />

acute kidney failure.<br />

• Keep electrical wires and batteries out of<br />

your pets reach. Chewing electrical cables<br />

can cause electric shock or burns to the<br />

mouth.<br />

• Be careful if you are using tinsel on your<br />

tree. If eaten, the tinsel can block your pets<br />

intestines – we saw several of these last<br />

Christmas!<br />

Don’t forget about your RABBITS<br />

Flystrike is a serious condition in rabbits.<br />

It occurs mostly in the summer months<br />

and we see a lot of cases over the holiday<br />

season as people get really busy and forget<br />

to regularly check on their pets.<br />

Flystrike is extremely distressing and it is<br />

also potentially fatal. It is caused by flies that<br />

are attracted to damp fur, urine, faeces and<br />

the odour of the rabbit’s scent. The flies<br />

will land on the rabbit normally around the<br />

rabbits rear end and lay their eggs. Within<br />

a very short time of 2 hours the eggs will<br />

hatch into maggots which start to feed on<br />

the rabbits skin. This process happens very<br />

quickly and is not always caught in time.<br />

Check your rabbit twice a day and if you<br />

find a maggot on your rabbit take it to us<br />

immediately.<br />

“I started through my<br />

He said it was nice to<br />

be acknowledged but<br />

preferred to keep a low<br />

profile and get on with<br />

helping the people he had<br />

made a connection with<br />

over the years.<br />

He said he would carry<br />

on helping them for the<br />

foreseeable future.<br />

”But you’ve got to have<br />

New fundraiser for historic jetty<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

• By Sarla Donovan<br />

A NEW fundraising appeal to<br />

help save the historic Governors<br />

Bay jetty has been launched this<br />

week.<br />

The ‘sponsor a plank’ initiative<br />

aims to raise $750,000, which together<br />

with funds already raised<br />

by the Jetty Restoration Trust<br />

and committed<br />

by the city<br />

council, will<br />

bring the total<br />

to around $1.35<br />

million.<br />

People,<br />

families, or<br />

businesses who<br />

donate $500<br />

Louisa Eades<br />

or more will be recognised as<br />

“Plank Sponsors”, with a plaque<br />

engraved with their name or<br />

short message on a plank on the<br />

new Jetty.<br />

Trust secretary Louisa Eades<br />

has also written a piece for the<br />

New Zealand Women’s Weekly<br />

about how the jetty was rescued<br />

and the journey so far towards<br />

restoration.<br />

Her story will be published<br />

early next year.<br />

She’s hoping the publicity<br />

will broaden the appeal beyond<br />

Christchurch.<br />

The jetty has been a feature<br />

of the bay since 1874 and is an<br />

important part of Canterbury<br />

history.<br />

Before the road over Dyers<br />

Pass made the bay accessible<br />

by vehicle, twice-daily steam<br />

launches ran from Lyttelton to<br />

Governors Bay.<br />

These boats dropped passengers<br />

off on the Jetty to spend<br />

the day picnicking or visiting the<br />

“pleasure gardens” at the Ocean<br />

<strong>View</strong> Hotel (now Governors Bay<br />

Hotel.)<br />

“I just can’t imagine it not<br />

being there,” said Ms Eades. “It’s<br />

like the Cathedral in the square<br />

or the Esplanade in Sumner.<br />

It’s just part of the bay, and an<br />

important historical feature.”<br />

At just under 300 metres long,<br />

the jetty is the same length as the<br />

New Brighton pier, but low to the<br />

water and timber-made.<br />

“It’s an amazing place to walk<br />

along or boat to,” said trust<br />

chairman Simon Mortlock.<br />

The city council last year<br />

agreed to temporarily sell ownership<br />

for $1 to the Governors Bay<br />

Jetty Restoration Trust who will<br />

repair it before returning it back<br />

to the city council.<br />

The repair is expected to cost<br />

up to $3 million.<br />

Halswell skate parks<br />

Historic cafe gets<br />

new lease of life<br />

•From page 1<br />

It was originally home to David<br />

McKay, an immigration officer<br />

with the Canterbury Provincial<br />

Government who also administered<br />

the Charitable Aid Fund.<br />

Mr McKay defaulted on the<br />

mortgage repayments on the<br />

house after he was charged with<br />

embezzlement, lost his job and his<br />

wife left him.<br />

The house was bought by<br />

Georgiana Thomson, the widow<br />

of accountant William Thomson,<br />

who was a captain with the<br />

Canterbury Yeomanry Calvary,<br />

Provincial Auditor and Official<br />

Assignee at the time of his death<br />

in 1866.<br />

She named the two-storey<br />

weatherboard house Cardowan<br />

after a suburb in Glasgow.<br />

When Georgiana Thompson<br />

died she passed the house to<br />

her son, John. He had arrived in<br />

Canterbury as a child with his<br />

parents and spent his early years<br />

working on sheep stations before<br />

taking up his father’s profession.<br />

In his retirement John Thomson<br />

took up walking long distances<br />

on the Port Hills and in 1931 he<br />

gifted 63 acres of land on the Port<br />

Hills (now known as Thomson<br />

Park) to the public.<br />

THE TWO proposed Halswell<br />

skate parks are one step closer<br />

with the deadline for tender<br />

applications closing yesterday.<br />

After three years of planning,<br />

the Halswell Domain and<br />

Knights Stream skate parks<br />

are expected to be ready by late<br />

April, instead of January as<br />

initially planned.<br />

City council head of parks<br />

Brent Smith said after the<br />

resource consents were lodged,<br />

the skate parks went out for<br />

tender on November 16.<br />

The consent process took<br />

longer than expected and, as<br />

a result, construction of both<br />

parks has been delayed.<br />

Halswell Residents Association<br />

secretary David Hawke<br />

said the skate parks are fantastic<br />

and they will have a good impact<br />

on the community.<br />

“If you look at one of the<br />

things the Halswell Hub is doing,<br />

it’s got a different type of<br />

outreach I suppose, for young<br />

people in our community and<br />

the skate parks fit into that bigger<br />

picture,” he said.<br />

Mr Hawke said parents are<br />

currently having to drive their<br />

children to Prebbleton to skate.<br />

“You see people doing what<br />

they’re not supposed to be<br />

doing, which is sort of bounce<br />

their scooters and skateboards<br />

about in the supermarket<br />

carparks and so on,” he said.<br />

The city council won’t know<br />

if both sites will be managed<br />

together until a contractor has<br />

been selected. Mr Smith said<br />

the city council is intending on<br />

choosing a contractor before<br />

Christmas.<br />

He said construction on both<br />

skate parks should start at the<br />

beginning of February, with<br />

landscaping to be completed in<br />

May.<br />

PROGRESS: The<br />

Halswell Domain<br />

skate park (pictured)<br />

and the Knights<br />

Stream skate<br />

park are both on<br />

their way to being<br />

built, with tender<br />

applications closing<br />

yesterday. ​<br />

Principal’s Report<br />

Warm greetings to<br />

the Linwood College<br />

community. Kia ora<br />

koutou. Talofa lava.<br />

Kia orana. Malo e<br />

lelei. Bula. Fakaalofa<br />

atu. Namaste.<br />

Kumusta.<br />

Linwood College<br />

enjoys celebrating<br />

student success in all its forms so our<br />

congratulations to the prizewinners<br />

highlighted on this page. I would like to also<br />

congratulate all Junior students who were<br />

awarded prizes at the <strong>2017</strong> Junior Prize Giving<br />

ceremony held on 11th <strong>December</strong>.<br />

Our community views education as<br />

the wellbeing of the whole person. All<br />

developmentally positive experiences enrich<br />

our students’ understanding of whom they<br />

are and broaden their outlook. They nurture<br />

students’ classroom focus by contextualising<br />

their learning and sowing the seeds of positive<br />

ambition.<br />

Linwood College believes in a “pathwayed<br />

Other Major Award Winners<br />

curriculum”. This means the school, students<br />

and families knowing:<br />

1. Students’ learning and skills as they come<br />

into LC from our partner primary schools<br />

and building on these successes<br />

2. How the learning at LC connects to what<br />

the students want to do when they leave<br />

school. “What are my post-school pathways<br />

and how does my LC help me achieve these<br />

pathways?”<br />

In this way learning is meaningful to the<br />

individual and strengths-based. At Linwood<br />

the individual matters.<br />

Finally, the Education Review Office reviewed<br />

Linwood College in the second half of term 3.<br />

The confirmed report is now public and I am<br />

delighted to say that the school is back on the<br />

three year return cycle. It is a testament to<br />

everyone’s collective vision and positive work<br />

for our school: BOT, staff, students, whanau,<br />

partner schools and community.<br />

Nga mihi nui and best wishes for the festive<br />

season and summer holiday.<br />

Year 10s get Enterprising<br />

Last week ninety Year 10 students worked<br />

hard for three days in the school gym to create<br />

business ideas. Two presenters from the Young<br />

Enterprise Trust came to the school to lead the<br />

students through the process of creating and<br />

developing businesses. On Wednesday, the<br />

students were put into groups of between five and<br />

ten students and given the challenge of creating<br />

a new business based on modern technology. By<br />

Friday, the students were ready to present their<br />

ideas and associated business plans to judges<br />

from the local business community.<br />

Here Sina Sila and her team mates are presenting<br />

their idea ‘Zoinks’ - an app that stops you from making<br />

unnecessary purchases to Gyaney from BP.<br />

<strong>2017</strong> Senior Prizegiving Awards<br />

Early in Term 3, the school’s senior<br />

FLAME FILES<br />

Fire warning as<br />

summer starts<br />

Cashmere win close final<br />

to claim water polo title<br />

• By Andrew King<br />

CASHMERE High’s year 10<br />

water polo team won the B<br />

grade title at the South Island<br />

junior secondary schools<br />

championships.<br />

Playing Papanui High in<br />

the final, they narrowly won<br />

1-0 thanks to a solid defensive<br />

performance from Rosie Howard,<br />

which saw her named most<br />

valuable player in the decider.<br />

Heading into the last quarter<br />

at 0-0, it took a moment of<br />

SPORTS<br />

brilliance by Holly Cartwright<br />

who scored after intercepting<br />

a loose pass from Papanui’s<br />

goalkeeper.<br />

The teams met in the roundrobin<br />

with Cashmere coming out<br />

on top 4-2.<br />

Cashmere coach Tom<br />

Wilkinson said both teams had<br />

a better understanding of each<br />

other’s play which led to a much<br />

tighter encounter in the final.<br />

He said after a hiatus, the sport<br />

is making a comeback at the<br />

school. “We have not had a water<br />

polo programme for 10 years<br />

until we started it again last year<br />

with this group of girls,” he said.<br />

“We had three teams this year<br />

so it is increasing in popularity.”<br />

“This is also due to the work<br />

of St Martins and Christchurch<br />

South Intermediate, who are in<br />

our school zone (and) have been<br />

pushing it at year 7 and 8.”<br />

heating up early<br />

• By Mark Thomas – fire risk<br />

management officer<br />

AS THE summer heats up, so<br />

does the number of calls our<br />

troops are attending.<br />

It’s normal to have about 100<br />

calls in a week.<br />

Weather events, of course, add<br />

to the number.<br />

So the 169 incidents attended<br />

last week can at least in part be<br />

attributed to the weather, or the<br />

heat, to be more precise.<br />

A large number of false<br />

alarms, presumably from fire<br />

detection systems drooping and<br />

a large number of ambulance<br />

assists including, unfortunately,<br />

several sudden deaths, added to<br />

the list.<br />

Also we attended far too many<br />

grass and skip or bin fires.<br />

While a few of these are the<br />

result of accidents most of them<br />

were lit deliberately.<br />

Whether it be kids playing or<br />

malicious fire-starters, the dry<br />

conditions make all of these<br />

potentially serious.<br />

The Governors Bay crew were<br />

called to the local hotel on <strong>December</strong><br />

2 to what turned out to<br />

be a patron puffing on a vaping<br />

cigarette.<br />

It’s a first for me to see this but<br />

hardly surprising.<br />

I followed a car the other day<br />

with two people both vaping<br />

and both front windows open.<br />

The clouds of vapour they<br />

were seemingly choreographing<br />

erupted from both sides of the<br />

car like whistles from a steam<br />

train. I guess it’s better for them<br />

than the alternative!<br />

Sprinklers in buildings are<br />

expensive. But one operating in<br />

Pak’nSave in the Hornby Hub<br />

on <strong>December</strong> 3 stopped a fire<br />

from a bakers oven in its tracks.<br />

The mall re-opened quickly.<br />

That’s why we love sprinkler<br />

systems.<br />

SOUTHERN VIEW<br />

From the Board<br />

As we go to print we are excited to hear<br />

our new Bishop, Fr Paul Martin SM,<br />

has been appointed to Christchurch. In<br />

celebrating the news, a special thank<br />

you must go to Fr Rick Loughnan for<br />

his leadership in the interim, to the<br />

Diocese for its ongoing support and<br />

we remember Bishop Barry Jones<br />

with fondness. Bishop-Elect Paul’s<br />

appointment represents an exciting<br />

new phase of growth for our<br />

Catholic community.<br />

Thank you to our Board of Trustees,<br />

college and community and members<br />

of the Marian Foundation for your work<br />

throughout <strong>2017</strong>.<br />

To our Marian girls – relax and enjoy the<br />

well-earned break. There are some fantastic<br />

programmes, and collaborative project<br />

opportunities planned for 2018.<br />

And finally, congratulations to our <strong>2017</strong><br />

Marian College leavers. The gospel values<br />

– which underpin the special character of<br />

Marian College – will guide you well into<br />

the future. We wish you all the very best<br />

and please keep in touch.<br />

Wishing you good health and blessings<br />

this Christmas.<br />

Georgiana Vaughan-Walker (right) Y<strong>12</strong><br />

has received the St John Grand Prior<br />

Award in a ceremony hosted by the<br />

Governor-General in Dunedin.<br />

The Grand Prior Award is the ultimate<br />

award, other than for bravery, for St John<br />

Cadets. Georgiana was one of 90 cadets<br />

- including former Marian student Steph<br />

Wessing (left) - from around New Zealand<br />

to receive the prestigious award.<br />

‘I love learning new leadership skills and<br />

I’m really thankful I joined St John, as<br />

otherwise I wouldn’t have considered the<br />

Navy as a career path,’ she says.<br />

Georgiana’s plans include a gap year,<br />

travel, and a career in the Navy<br />

as a medic.<br />

The opportunities and benefits of an innercity<br />

campus are many for Marian College<br />

students.<br />

From Year 11, students can choose to<br />

earn credits at Ara Institute of Canterbury,<br />

making the most of excellent facilities and<br />

teaching expertise – just across the road.<br />

Recently, three Marian students received<br />

Ara awards excellence<br />

recipients and photographs are now on the<br />

Marian College website.<br />

Marian College Principal Mary-Lou<br />

Davidson says as well as reflecting the<br />

opportunities students have in a wide<br />

range of areas of the school, awards are a<br />

reflection of hard work and dedication.<br />

“Congratulations to all the students<br />

who have been acknowledged,” Mrs<br />

Whatever we want to be...<br />

Young Māori Marian<br />

College students<br />

participating in the<br />

Manukura programme<br />

are realising if they put<br />

their minds to it – they<br />

can do and be whatever<br />

they want.<br />

The programme is a<br />

partnership between<br />

Ngāi Tūāhuriri, Te<br />

Tapuae o Rehua<br />

and seven eastern<br />

Christchurch secondary<br />

schools and aims to<br />

ensure young Māori see<br />

themselves as leaders<br />

of the future.<br />

Participating student Rawinia Tahi (Ngāti<br />

Maniapoto) says she has learnt a lot.<br />

Year 11 Marian College student Keely<br />

Stuart (Te Aitanga-A-Mahaki) has received<br />

a Ngā Mahi-a-Ringa Pūtaiao Scholarship<br />

from Otago University. Keely will be<br />

participating in a week-long Hands-on<br />

at Otago programme during the summer<br />

holidays to experience being a science<br />

student on campus.<br />

Keely says she is very excited to be<br />

accepted onto the fully-funded programme.<br />

‘I’m interested in a career in health,<br />

science and physiology so it will be a great<br />

opportunity to see what Otago University is<br />

like,’ she says.<br />

‘Recognising my gifts and<br />

understanding how I can use them to<br />

help others, was the biggest realisation<br />

for me,’ Rawinia says.<br />

Zonta Awards<br />

The Zonta Awards are a celebration of the<br />

highest sports achievers - leaders in their<br />

sport locally and often competitors on the<br />

world stage.<br />

This year, three Marian College students<br />

were finalists at the Zonta Sports Awards.<br />

Renee Rae won the top award for her<br />

contribution to netball umpiring. A judge<br />

said Renee follows a long tradition of<br />

Marian students who have won the award,<br />

and there was something very special about<br />

Marian College and its tradition of service.<br />

Rebecca Lake (Ngāi Tahu, Ngāti Irakehu)<br />

and Millicent Smith (Ngāpuhi) were both<br />

nominated for outstanding achievement<br />

for their New Zealand representation<br />

in football and ice hockey respectively.<br />

This is the second year Rebecca has been<br />

acknowledged in the highly competed<br />

category.<br />

Adding to opportunities in Halswell<br />

Halswell<br />

Community<br />

Project’s<br />

chairwoman<br />

Chrys Horn<br />

talks about<br />

the Nga<br />

Puna Wai<br />

Sports Hub and what it’ll<br />

mean to the Halswell and<br />

surrounding communities<br />

Great sports opportunities –<br />

both formal and informal and<br />

more spaces which can be used<br />

by our community are two<br />

things that we can expect as Nga<br />

Puna Wai develops.<br />

Halswell is already a great<br />

place for those interested in sport<br />

and the developments in Nga<br />

Puna Wai will add in athletics,<br />

tennis and hockey to the<br />

opportunities that already exist<br />

in the area.<br />

The addition of a pavilion with<br />

café and bar facilities is also a<br />

bonus for those who will use<br />

SPORTS: An artist’s impression of the boulevard at the Ngā Puna Wai Sports Hub.<br />

the site for. We understand also<br />

that the pavilion will have space<br />

available for the community to<br />

hire for their own events.<br />

For Halswell people there<br />

will also be great walking and<br />

cycling opportunities as well as<br />

community sports fields that can<br />

be used for casual games. Many<br />

people already use the area for<br />

walking and this will not change.<br />

We are hopeful that there<br />

will be great cycle paths that<br />

will connect from Aidanfield<br />

through to Curletts Rd<br />

and provide a safe and fun<br />

way for Hillmorton High<br />

School students to bike to school.<br />

In addition they could also<br />

provide a way to connect Hoon<br />

Hay and Halswell Rd through to<br />

the cycleway alongside the new<br />

<strong>Southern</strong> Motorway.<br />

It’s likely it will also be great<br />

for local businesses – especially<br />

those that will be setting up in<br />

the new Halswell Commons<br />

subdivision. The Halswell<br />

Community Project is hopeful<br />

they will be able to set up a<br />

local weekly farmers market<br />

when these developments are all<br />

complete. As the area grows this<br />

facility will be a wonderful<br />

addition to the recreation<br />

opportunities available<br />

in Halswell, Wigram and<br />

Hillmorton and Spreydon.<br />

Pupils turn hand-made<br />

goods into cold hard cash<br />

• By Emily O’Connell<br />

ST BERNADETTE’S School<br />

pupils turned hand-made and<br />

secondhand goods into money at<br />

their market day last Thursday.<br />

All 140 pupils, from new<br />

entrants through to the year 8<br />

students, were involved in the<br />

market.<br />

“We believe that every child<br />

FUN: KiwiCan’s Reece<br />

Bonner under fire at the<br />

school’s market day. ​<br />

has something worthwhile to<br />

offer. One of the children in our<br />

school is blind, he was able to<br />

contribute by brailing labels for<br />

bookmarks,” assistant principal<br />

Lyn Satherley said.<br />

Miss Satherley said each class<br />

decided on a reward they would<br />

like to have at the end of the<br />

school term with the money they<br />

raised.<br />

She said classes then began<br />

thinking about, and researching<br />

products or services they could<br />

sell or offer at the school market.<br />

“Having a market offers an<br />

authentic purpose for hands on<br />

learning, across the curriculum;<br />

science, maths, literacy, health,<br />

the arts and in the key competencies,”<br />

Miss Satherley said.<br />

Sweets, bookmarks, secondhand<br />

items, stress balls, games,<br />

cards and sausages all went up<br />

for sale.<br />

The school also had a cafe,<br />

face painting station, hair colour<br />

station, traditional games, and a<br />

water balloon throw.<br />

“Having all of the children involved<br />

in the market allows them<br />

to take ownership over their<br />

learning and working as a team,”<br />

Miss Satherley said.<br />

She said any additional profit<br />

from the market will go towards<br />

a community day at the end of<br />

the term.<br />

St Bernadette’s hold a market<br />

day every second year.<br />

GREAT food<br />

BROUGHT TO YOU BY...<br />

Your fresh food people<br />

CHRISTMAS HAM ON THE BONE GLAZED WITH PINEAPPLE<br />

Ingredients<br />

4kg ham on the bone<br />

1 cup canned crushed pineapple,<br />

drained<br />

1 cup brown sugar, tightly packed<br />

1 tsp ground ginger<br />

Directions<br />

Preheat the oven to 180 deg<br />

C. Run a knife around the shank<br />

end of the ham. Carefully slice<br />

under the edge of the rind at the<br />

base of the ham. Use your fingers<br />

to ease between the rind and the<br />

fat. Pull to gently remove the<br />

rind. With a sharp knife, score<br />

the fat with 3mm-deep cuts in a<br />

diamond pattern. Place ham in a<br />

foil-lined oven pan large enough<br />

to catch any glaze that drips as it<br />

cooks. Surround ham with one<br />

cup cold water.<br />

Drain pineapple and combine<br />

with glaze ingredients in a bowl.<br />

Smear glaze over scored fat of<br />

ham.<br />

Bake ham for 40-45min,<br />

basting at regular intervals until<br />

the glaze has caramelised to a<br />

golden brown.<br />

Rest the baked ham for at least<br />

15min before carving. Sliced ham<br />

can either be served hot or at<br />

room temperature.<br />

ROSE PETAL MERINGUE WITH SUMMER BERRIES AND STRAWBERRY SAUCE<br />

Ingredients<br />

5 eggs<br />

300g caster sugar<br />

1 Tbsp cornflour<br />

1 Tbsp dried rose petals<br />

300 ml cream<br />

250g blueberries<br />

250g raspberries<br />

1 lime<br />

250g strawberries<br />

Directions<br />

Preheat the oven to 200 deg C<br />

and line a flat baking sheet with<br />

non-stick baking paper. Using<br />

an electric beater, whip the egg<br />

whites until firm, then whisk in<br />

the sugar. Fold in the cornflour<br />

and rose petals and place large<br />

spoonfuls of the mixture onto<br />

the baking sheet. Bake for 40-<br />

45min.<br />

When the meringue tops are<br />

crisp, remove them from the<br />

oven and leave to cool. For the<br />

sauce, puree the strawberries<br />

and lime juice in a blender. If the<br />

flavour is too sharp, add a little<br />

icing sugar.<br />

Whip the cream until it looks<br />

soft. Mix the berries in a bowl.<br />

Place a meringue on each plate<br />

with a pile of cream next to it,<br />

FOCUS ON HEALTH<br />

Miracle weight loss fruit<br />

An extract of a small pumpkin-like fruit<br />

called Garcinia Cambogia from India &<br />

Asia has shown itself to greatly assist weight<br />

management & overall health. In fact many<br />

have found it to increase fat loss by 2 to 3<br />

times greater than normal. T.V. Dr. Oz has<br />

said it is the most effective & fastest working<br />

natural supplement to support weight loss.<br />

Even without exercise & diet changes<br />

many have found it beneficial, although even<br />

better & quicker results are often obtained<br />

with extra exercise & an improved diet.<br />

The extract of this amazing fruit is called<br />

Hydroxycitric Acid (HCA) or CitriMax.<br />

Research has shown HCA to help suppress<br />

the appetite, reduce cravings, feel fuller for<br />

longer, increase energy levels, help prevent<br />

fat from being made & stored in the body,<br />

increase lean muscle mass, increase<br />

serotonin levels in the brain that<br />

help control mood & sleep<br />

(great for emotional eaters),<br />

improve cholesterol levels<br />

that may help reduce<br />

the chances of strokes<br />

& cardiovascular<br />

disease, help prevent<br />

sugar spikes as well<br />

as other health<br />

benefits.<br />

It is considered<br />

a very safe<br />

supplement<br />

(although check first<br />

if you are on medication)<br />

as it has been used for centuries<br />

as a flavouring agent & digestive aid.<br />

To obtain reliable results it is important<br />

SUPER CitriMax<br />

CLINICAL STRENGTH GARCINIA CAMBOGIA<br />

According to Dr. Oz an extract of Garcinia Cambogia, (a small<br />

pumpkin-like fruit) called CitriMax is the most effective & fastest<br />

working natural supplement to support weight loss. However<br />

it is only the clinically researched Super CitriMax that contains a<br />

special blend that offers superior absorption & proven<br />

results compared to other non-Super CitriMax brands.<br />

CliniCAlly SHOwn tO:<br />

• Helps stop fat being made & stored in the body<br />

• Suppresses appetite & cravings. Feel fuller for longer<br />

• Increases energy levels & lean muscle mass<br />

• Increases Serotonin levels in the brain, especially good for<br />

emotional eaters. Serotonin may also improve mood & sleep.<br />

• Improves cholesterol & blood lipid levels<br />

Swanson Super CitriMax is a unique patented extract that<br />

is highly bio-available & clinically proven for reliable results.<br />

to take a product that contains a<br />

standardized extract of 60% HCA & also<br />

take the recommended amount as used in<br />

the clinical research. Some supplements also<br />

contain ChromeMate, a well-researched<br />

form of niacin-bound chromium to help<br />

improve the results even more.<br />

Dilo Oil – The Remarkable<br />

Skin Rejuvenator<br />

Until Rachel<br />

Hunter’s popular<br />

TV series “TOUR<br />

OF BEAUTY” Dilo<br />

Oil was relatively<br />

unknown, being one<br />

of the best-kept secrets<br />

of the Pacific Islands. It<br />

may however be the number<br />

one natural beauty oil available<br />

as it possesses powerful natural skin<br />

regeneration and healing properties.<br />

According to ethnobotanist Chris<br />

Kilham, Dilo (pronounced dee-lo)<br />

Oil is a powerful skin regenerator as<br />

it is one of the most effective agents<br />

in promoting the regeneration and<br />

formation of new tissue, thereby<br />

accelerating wound healing and<br />

the growth of healthy skin. Dilo<br />

Oil is super-absorbing and can<br />

penetrate all three layers of the<br />

skin, offering exceptional cell<br />

hydration and regeneration.<br />

As well as this, Dilo Oil has<br />

potent anti-inflammatory,<br />

antimicrobial, antifungal and<br />

antioxidant properties.<br />

Traditionally, Dilo Oil is used to keep the<br />

skin young and youthful and for just about<br />

any skin complaint. Some of the conditions<br />

for which it is considered helpful include<br />

abrasions, cuts and cracks, acne and<br />

acne scars, pimples, blemishes, stretch<br />

marks, wrinkles, blisters, burns (including<br />

chemical and radiation), diabetic sores,<br />

rashes, shaving irritation, dry or scaly skin,<br />

ARE YOU READY<br />

TO DOWNSIZE?<br />

Paying rates for a house that’s<br />

too big? Paying maintenance and<br />

heating costs for space you don’t use?<br />

A move to one of our<br />

architecturally designed villas<br />

at McKenzie Lifestyle Village in<br />

Geraldine will cut those costs.<br />

Three villas are available for<br />

KIDSTUFF<br />

Kids love<br />

CASPA!<br />

FRESH: Tomato plants ready to leave Rolleston. ​<br />

Rolleston Prison donates<br />

tomato plants to<br />

social housing tenants<br />

MORE than 5000 tomato<br />

plants have been handed<br />

over to the Ōtautahi Community<br />

Housing Trust to<br />

be donated to city housing<br />

tenants.<br />

The plants are an annual<br />

project at Rolleston Prison<br />

and are grown from seed<br />

to plant ready for home<br />

gardens.<br />

The plants take eight to<br />

ten weeks from planting<br />

and germination until<br />

they are ready to be collected.<br />

“This project gives<br />

prisoners an opportunity<br />

to give something back<br />

and provides people in<br />

the community with the<br />

means to grow healthy<br />

food for themselves and<br />

their family,” said Rolleston<br />

Prison director Mike<br />

Howson.<br />

“Many of the prisoners<br />

know what it is like to<br />

struggle financially and<br />

they enjoy the opportunity<br />

to do something for the<br />

community, especially<br />

near to Christmas.<br />

Seeing the plants leave<br />

the prison for a person’s<br />

garden means a great deal<br />

to the men involved,” he<br />

said.<br />

More than 40,000<br />

tomato plants have been<br />

cultivated and donated<br />

since the Tomatoes for<br />

Tenants Project began<br />

in 2008 and the annual<br />

delivery of the tomatoes is<br />

highly anticipated by the<br />

city housing tenants.<br />

Rick Fraser of Ōtautahi<br />

said the trust values the<br />

partnership with Rolleston<br />

Prison and many tenants<br />

appreciate the plants and<br />

save a space in their gardens<br />

for them.<br />

Leftover plants are gifted<br />

to schools and community<br />

groups.<br />

CASPA (Creative After School<br />

Time to check your tyres before<br />

heading away on holiday<br />

As the holidays approach and plans are<br />

made for summer road trips, now is the<br />

time to check that your tyres are in good<br />

condition, says Julie Hurst of JCM Direct,<br />

the tyre specialists in Birmingham Drive.<br />

Julie and her husband Athol own the<br />

business, with Julie running it on a dayto-day<br />

basis.<br />

Now that WOFs on later model vehicles<br />

are issued every <strong>12</strong> months, drivers may<br />

be unaware that their tyres are becoming<br />

worn, Julie says.<br />

“Come in and see us. We offer free tyre<br />

checks, so you can head away on holiday<br />

knowing they are roadworthy and your<br />

family is safe.”<br />

If tyres do need replacing, JCM Direct<br />

offers a wide variety of quality brands at<br />

very competitive prices. They have new<br />

tyres for everything from cars, vans and<br />

4WDs, to caravans, ride-on mowers,<br />

wheelbarrows and trailers. As well as an<br />

excellent selection of quality second-hand<br />

tyres for most vehicles, they hold a vast<br />

selection of 4WD tyres in stock.<br />

JCM Direct also offer puncture repairs,<br />

supply and fitting of new and secondhand<br />

alloy wheels, wheel alignments,<br />

replacement factory steel rims and rim<br />

repairs.<br />

“We also specialise in old rims from<br />

the 1930s to 1970s for people with older<br />

caravans and trailers – the modern rims<br />

won’t fit those,” Julie says.<br />

Finance is available with Q Card or<br />

Public Notice<br />

Is your property<br />

safe from fire?<br />

Here’s a guide to help understand<br />

the risk in your area<br />

During the fire season, there are some risks you need to know about to help keep you,<br />

your family and your property safe.<br />

Throughout New Zealand, there are different levels of risk, depending on where you<br />

live and what the area around you is like. As we build more and more homes in<br />

previously rural areas, the level of risk is different to properties built in a more urban<br />

setting. Make sure you check your property and are aware of your surroundings so<br />

you can be best prepared this fire season.<br />

Steps you need to take to keep your property safe<br />

1<br />

2<br />

3<br />

Make sure you have a ‘safe zone’ around your property<br />

- Clear vegetation close to your home. This could fuel a fire if one started.<br />

- Choose plants with low flammability – native plants are often better.<br />

- Keep your lawns mowed and green.<br />

- Don’t store firewood close to the house.<br />

- Clear your gutters of dry leaves.<br />

- Be careful when using any mechanical equipment in dry conditions.<br />

Have an escape plan and an agreed safe meeting place<br />

- Go to www.escapeplanner.co.nz to make a plan to get out of your<br />

home safely and agree a safe meeting place. Practise this regularly.<br />

- Think about where you will meet if you need to evacuate the area.<br />

- Have an emergency evacuation kit in case you need to leave quickly.<br />

- If in doubt, leave early.<br />

Good access for firefighters<br />

- Fire trucks need a lot of space to manoeuvre. Make sure there are no<br />

overgrown trees or other obstacles that may prevent access to your<br />

property.<br />

- We can pump from water supplies such as a pond, pool or tank.<br />

- Make sure your address or RAPID number is clearly visible.<br />

The fire risk applies to everyone, no matter where you live.<br />

beautifully festive concert incorporating the<br />

Voices Co Youth Ensemble along with winner<br />

of TVNZ’s Naked Choir and founder of Voices<br />

Co, Julian Hay on piano.<br />

“I adore this time of year. Not only because<br />

I see it through the eyes of my children but<br />

because it’s a special time to reflect on the past<br />

year, the joys and the challenges. I have<br />

created a concert that will include the angelic<br />

voices of children singing which is both pure<br />

and for me what Christmas is all about.”<br />

In a career spanning 25 years, Ali has<br />

starred in numerous musicals and plays across<br />
