Board deputy chairman<br />

Aaron Campbell his<br />

position.<br />

City council chief executive<br />

Karleen Edwards has notified<br />

Mr Campbell that the board filed<br />

a notice of motion to remove him<br />

from his role as deputy chairman.<br />

The motion will go to the board’s<br />

next meeting on Monday.<br />

He will remain as a member for the<br />

rest of the term but remains undecided<br />

if he will run again.<br />

It comes after tension from Mr<br />

Campbell’s call to introduce a liquor ban<br />

in Elmwood Park, which chairman Sam<br />

MacDonald said was not supported by the<br />

majority of the board.<br />

This time Mr Campbell questioned the<br />

city council’s membership of Water New<br />

Zealand.<br />

He questioned it during a board area report<br />

to city councillors.<br />

Mr Campbell and Mr MacDonald met<br />

with board governance manager Matt<br />

McLintock the next day.<br />

Mr Campbell was told it was not<br />

the right place to raise the issue without<br />

authority.<br />

Mr Campbell disagreed.<br />

The notice was signed by all board members<br />

including the three city councillors Aaron Keown,<br />

Raf Manji and Jamie Gough.<br />

“I’m disgusted and disappointed,” Mr Campbell<br />

said.<br />

He said he feels let down by his community<br />

board colleagues and should have had the chance<br />

to discuss personality issues.<br />

Mr MacDonald said he would not comment on<br />

the matter until after the meeting.<br />

However, Mr Campbell said the move is political<br />

censorship, an attack on free speech and preelection<br />

manoeuvring before local body elections<br />

next <strong>October</strong>.<br />

political leanings – Mr MacDonald is electorate<br />

chairman for Ilam National MP Gerry Brownlee<br />

and Mr Campbell was campaign secretary for<br />

Mayor Lianne Dalziel and Christchurch Central<br />

Labour MP Duncan Webb.<br />

Mr MacDonald (right) also<br />

ran for the board under the<br />

right-leaning Independent<br />

Citizens group, while<br />

Mr Campbell ran as an<br />

independent.<br />

“Central Government<br />

aligning should not come in at<br />

a local level,” Mr Campbell said.<br />

But Mr MacDonald said that is not the case.<br />

“For anyone to insinuate that this is political and<br />

not purely for the outcomes of our community is<br />

quite frankly offensive.”<br />

The move to sack Mr Campbell comes on top of<br />

other community board spats in the city.<br />

There have been clashes over the Denton<br />

Park decision between Halswell-Hornby-<br />

Riccarton Community Board members, which<br />

required intervention from an independent<br />

facilitator. Dr Edwards and Mayor Lianne Dalziel<br />

also attended one of the board’s meetings<br />

to discuss the decision-making process and<br />

relationships.<br />

More recently there has been friction between<br />

Papanui-Innes Community Board chairwoman<br />

Ali Jones and member John Stringer. An<br />

independent facilitator was also used.<br />

IF EVER a guy deserved a helping hand it’s<br />

Grant Cowan (see page 5).<br />

Life has dealt him a terrible blow; two<br />

strokes at a still relatively young age.<br />

Now his mates have rallied to raise funds<br />

for a special bike for this once very good sportsman.<br />

I can vouch for Grant. My contact with him was in our<br />

basketball team, many years ago now, but I can still see him as<br />

an imposing figure under the basket. He was also a top bloke.<br />

Grant was also a top martial arts exponent, went onto cycling<br />

and as mentioned a natural basketballer.<br />

His fundraiser is a worthy cause.<br />

On another note, more rumblings on the city community<br />

boards (see page 1).<br />

Quarry group make-up under fire<br />

• By Anan Zaki<br />

RESIDENTS LIVING near a<br />

proposed Fulton Hogan quarry<br />

are now questioning the<br />

make-up of the company’s<br />

community advisory group.<br />

Inquiries by <strong>Western</strong> <strong>News</strong><br />

have revealed one member of the<br />

advisory group lives 3km from<br />

the proposed 170ha quarry site,<br />

bordering Curraghs, Dawsons,<br />

Jones and Maddisons Rds.<br />

Curraghs Rd resident Simon<br />

Moore, who lives 600m from the<br />

quarry site, slammed the inclusion<br />

of the member.<br />

“What a farce. How can that<br />

person be affected at all?” Mr<br />

Moore said.<br />

Ian Walsh, lives 3km southeast<br />

of the proposed quarry site<br />

and is one of the seven members<br />

in the advisory group. He<br />

refused to talk to the <strong>Western</strong><br />

<strong>News</strong>.<br />

Fulton Hogan said immediate<br />

neighbours are part of the advisory<br />

group. But Fulton Hogan<br />

refused to disclose who and what<br />

organisations are on the advisory<br />

group or comment on whether<br />

they regarded Mr Walsh as an<br />

immediate neighbour.<br />

The <strong>Western</strong> <strong>News</strong> is aware the<br />

Weedons Residents’ Association<br />

is part of the group.<br />

The company did not invite all<br />

immediate neighbours to be part<br />

of the group.<br />

Mr Moore said his neighbours<br />

who are immediate neighbours<br />

have not heard of the advisory<br />

group.<br />

Said Fulton Hogan South<br />

Island manager Craig Stewart:<br />

“The group’s composition came<br />

about from neighbours and local<br />

residents’ inquiries and conversations<br />

with Fulton Hogan about<br />

our proposed quarry.”<br />

Mr Stewart said discussion<br />

with the advisory group is part<br />

of the company’s “on-going process<br />

of engagement and development”<br />

of the resource consent<br />

application.<br />

Mr Moore said it was concerning<br />

that the advisory group’s<br />

consultation could be used in<br />

preparing the company’s resource<br />

consent application.<br />

“If somebody is 3km away,<br />

who can’t even see it or hear the<br />

damn thing, how on earth can<br />

they have any constructive input<br />

into it at all?” he said.<br />

“It’s so farcical, that it’s unbelievable.”<br />

Mr Moore challenged more<br />

members of the advisory group<br />

Association secretary Gary<br />

Doyle said the meetings did not<br />

provide new detail about the<br />

quarry.<br />

The Templeton Residents’<br />

Association refused to be part of<br />

the group, saying Fulton Hogan<br />

should speak to all residents, not<br />

a select group.<br />

Fulton Hogan expect to<br />

submit their resource consent<br />

application next month.<br />

Cheaper fuel<br />

could be<br />

on its way<br />

• By Anan Zaki<br />

A NELSON-BASED fuel company<br />

is promising to bring cheaper fuel<br />

to Sockburn and Yaldhurst.<br />

Nelson Petroleum Distributors<br />

– NPD, is opening an unmanned,<br />

self-service petrol station and car<br />

wash at the corner of Racecourse<br />

Rd and William Lewis Dr, Sockburn,<br />

by the end of next month.<br />

Another self-service station is<br />

planned for Yaldhurst early next<br />

year, on the corner of Sir John<br />

McKenzie Ave and Yaldhurst Rd.<br />

NPD chief executive Barry<br />

Sheridan says the self-service<br />

model allows the company to offer<br />

discounted fuel.<br />

“Pump prices do vary throughout<br />

the South Island, but motorists<br />

can currently enjoy discounts of<br />

up to 20c per litre at our self-serve<br />

sites,” Mr Sheridan said.<br />

“These self-serve sites function<br />

with lower operational and capital<br />

overheads which allows NPD to<br />

offer greater product value to motorists<br />

with competitively priced<br />

fuel . . . and the convenience of<br />

24/7 access.”<br />

There are currently four NPD<br />

petrol stations in the city and one<br />

in Rolleston.<br />

Wigram crash memorial unveiled<br />

SIXTY-FIVE YEARS after the<br />

fatal Wigram air collision, a<br />

plaque featuring the names<br />

of the flight crew has been<br />

unveiled.<br />

The plaque, inset into a boulder,<br />

has been placed next to a<br />

memorial seat at Edwin Ebbett<br />

Pl, Wigram.<br />

The memorial opened on<br />

<strong>October</strong> 15, on the anniversary<br />

of the mid-air collision.<br />

The project was initiated by<br />

Halswell engineer Ron Fensom,<br />

who has worked on building the<br />

memorial for four years.<br />

Aerodrome.<br />

Both planes had been preparing<br />

to land at the aerodrome on<br />

<strong>October</strong> 15, 1953.<br />

They were part of a 27-aircraft<br />

flypast over Harewood International<br />

Airport (now Christchurch<br />

International Airport).<br />

The fly-past signalled the<br />

end of celebrations following<br />

memorialise the fatal mid-air collision.<br />

the 19,756km London to<br />

Race.<br />

The memorial cost $7000 and<br />

received $2500 funding support<br />

from the Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton<br />

Community Board.<br />

The remainder of the money<br />

was raised through private<br />

donations.<br />

Board chairman Mike<br />

Mora says “it’s important to<br />

acknowledge the history of our<br />

area and the sad loss of seven<br />

men.”<br />

“With the rapid development<br />

of Wigram, we all wanted to<br />

take the opportunity to secure a<br />

special spot in memory of those<br />

crewmen,” Mr Mora says.<br />

Friends rally to get stroke victim back cycling<br />

• By Anan Zaki<br />

A KEEN cyclist and triathlete<br />

Grant Cowan enjoyed an active<br />

life.<br />

But the Papanui man’s world<br />

came crashing down 18 months<br />

ago, when he suffered two<br />

strokes.<br />

The former police officer and<br />

father of two teenagers lost the<br />

ability to speak, lost feeling in his<br />

right arm and right leg.<br />

Mr Cowan’s cycling hobby<br />

came to a halt. He now resides<br />

at St John of God care facility, in<br />

Halswell.<br />

Having lost touch with pedals,<br />

Mr Cowan’s family and friends<br />

took him to the New Zealand<br />

Bike Expo last week.<br />

It was there, that they saw an<br />

expression almost unseen for a 18<br />

months.<br />

Said his friend of 30 years<br />

Rodger Wyatt: “The look on his<br />

face, he was just absolutely humming.”<br />

“I didn’t know you could enjoy<br />

someone else’s joy so much,” he<br />

said.<br />

Mr Cowan, 52, tried a recumbent<br />

tricycle. The trike is able to<br />

be ridden while sitting down.<br />

“I was just wrapping my brain on<br />

how do we get this to happen and<br />

get some public support,” he said.<br />

Mr Wyatt gathered two of<br />

ALL SMILES: Grant Cowan tries a tricycle with Trikes NZ owner Brian Gilbert. Mr Cowan’s friend<br />

of 30 years Rodger Wyatt (inset), is helping raise money for the trike.<br />

Mr Cowan’s closest friends and<br />

former cycling teammates, Jan<br />

Hales and Derrick Murray, to buy<br />

the trike.<br />

But the trike was $16,500.<br />

The trio quickly hatched a plan<br />

to raise money for Mr Cowan.<br />

They will race in the Blue Dog<br />

six-hour blast at McLeans Island<br />

on Saturday, a race that the team<br />

previously took part in with Mr<br />

Cowan.<br />

Mr Murray, who now lives in<br />

Sydney, will fly across the ditch to<br />

fundraise.<br />

“We’ve got a spot for Grant,<br />

he’s in the team but obviously he<br />

can’t race,” Mr Murray.<br />

“It seems like a very fitting way<br />

to get word out about our mate,”<br />

Mr Murray said.<br />

The race at McLeans Island<br />

brought back many memories,<br />

Mr Wyatt said.<br />

“We did a race together out at<br />

McLeans Island as a mixed team<br />

about four or five years ago.<br />

“Grant came off his bike and<br />

tore his leg open on his gear<br />

leaver. It was pretty ugly.”<br />

Mr Cowan was taken to hospital<br />

and the team finished second<br />

place.<br />

“We still bag Grant now about<br />

letting the team down,” Mr<br />

Wyatt said.<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

He said Mr Cowan is aware<br />

that his friends are trying to help<br />

him.<br />

“He knows he wants a bike,<br />

he knows it’s going to give him<br />

something to look forward to.<br />

“I think he’s had a reasonably<br />

dark 18 months and the look<br />

on is face [on Monday] was just<br />

extraordinary,” Mr Wyatt said.<br />

Mr Murray just wants to see his<br />

best friend mobile again.<br />

“My thing is, he’s my best mate,<br />

we’ve done so many crazy adventures<br />

all over the South Island,”<br />

he said.<br />

“He doesn’t deserve to be in<br />

a rehab facility, we just thought<br />

we’ve got to find a way at to at<br />

least come on a small ride with<br />

us,” Mr Murray said.<br />

He also wants to raise awareness<br />

for signs of stroke among<br />

40-50 year-olds.<br />

The Stroke Foundation of New<br />

Zealand recommends to learn<br />

three observations to look for in<br />

identifying stroke victims.<br />

If the person’s face is drooping<br />

on one side, if one arm is weak or<br />

if their speech is slurred, phone 111.<br />

It’s abbreviated as FAST. Face,<br />

THE DANGER OF<br />

FEEDING BONES<br />

With the popularity of feeding raw food<br />

diets now, we are seeing on the rise<br />

intestinal damage and blockages due to<br />

dogs eating the wrong sort of bones on a<br />

regular basis. Over the past six months we<br />

are doing exploratory surgeries to remove<br />

bones that have got lodged somewhere in<br />

the gastrointestinal tract almost on a weekly<br />

basis– often we see these patients late Friday<br />

afternoon so they end up being operated on<br />

that night and transferred to the afterhours.<br />

All this costs a lot of money and is stressful<br />

for the owner. I’m not saying all bones are<br />

bad but I think owners have to be aware of<br />

the pitfalls, research carefully the safer bone<br />

options like raw meaty bones and supervise<br />

carefully when there pooch is having a good<br />

old chew.<br />

In some adult dogs with no medical issues,<br />

feeding balanced and complete raw diets<br />

may be okay but we at McMaster & Heap<br />

will never be advocates of feeding most<br />

bones on a regular basis and certainly not to<br />

puppies. Very occasionally feeding a large<br />

RAW meaty cannon bone is great for teeth<br />

cleaning and general enjoyment. I limit Lola<br />

my Labrador to a raw cannon bone twice<br />

a month and it’s binned after one hour of<br />

chewing. Once I forgot to take the bone<br />

away and after three hours she was still<br />

knawing away and the pulp in her upper<br />

canine had bled into the tooth. Luckily it<br />

healed quickly and she didn’t need the tooth<br />

extracting.<br />

The nutritional value of bones is poor and<br />

their complication rate high. Dental disease<br />

is common and we will often see fractured<br />

canines and dying teeth from the pulp of<br />

the tooth getting permanently damaged<br />

from continual chewing on a hard object<br />

for too long. Again supervision is needed.<br />

Gastrointestinal disease, presenting with<br />

vomiting, regurgitation, diarrhoea and<br />

inappetance is commonplace (especially<br />

with the feeding of cooked bones ) as is the<br />

dreaded and expensive to treat “pancreatitis”<br />

patient. Baked or barbequed bones become<br />

hard and brittle causing splintering and<br />

subsequent piercing of the softer tissues.<br />

And then we have the blockages, where<br />

bone is “stuck” and can’t be pushed<br />

along with peristalsis, requiring surgical<br />

intervention – not a cheap option but a<br />

necessary one if we are to save the patients’<br />

life.<br />

Now we come to my beloved “Henry” who<br />

regularly loves to visit me and have some<br />

sort of operation fairly regularly. We have a<br />

close relationship now. In January he was<br />

The bone<br />

lodged in his<br />

oesophagus<br />

Henry<br />

recovering from<br />

pneumonia<br />

This is Henry NOT<br />

allowed on the furniture<br />

very sick with pancreatitis and hospitalised<br />

for days, then in August on a Sunday we<br />

surgically removed a foreign body from his<br />

small intestine and very recently he got a<br />

large knuckle bone completely stuck in his<br />

oesophagus requiring emergency surgery.<br />

He usually bounces back quickly from<br />

surgery but this last visit he’s had a few quite<br />

serious complications from eating bones.<br />

The large knuckle was removed through his<br />

pharygnx carefully with the use of forceps.<br />

Due to the oesophageal damage he’s had<br />

difficulty eating and regurgitation issues.<br />

He also had exploratory surgery to remove<br />

many sharp shards of bone from his stomach<br />

that were not able to pass through Henrys<br />

intestine. As a result of the regurgitation due<br />

to the surgery and eating of bones, he now<br />

has aspiration pneumonia which is holding<br />

his usually super recovery back. Henry<br />

has spiking fevers daily, feels listless and is<br />

off his food – a rare event for a Labrador!!<br />

He is currently taking nine medications,<br />

four of which are antibiotics. He’s been a<br />

daily inpatient getting intravenous fluids<br />

to support him as he hasn’t wanted to<br />

drink much. His owners are performing<br />

coupage several times a day to help clear<br />

secretions from the lungs. This is a bit like<br />

physiotherapy on the lungs to dislodge<br />

mucous and fluid pooling in the lungs so<br />

Henry can breathe easier. He coughs up the<br />

secretions in his airways and swallows them.<br />

Suffice to say the latest update from Henry<br />

is great news. He’s back home, eating<br />

much better, off intravenous fluids but still<br />

on a variety of medications. Pneumonia<br />

will probably take three to four weeks<br />

of antibiotic therapy to clear his lungs<br />

completely. Henry was very lucky as his<br />

owners will do anything for him and acted<br />

quickly getting him to us. He’s certainly<br />

worthy though of the love he has from us<br />

all. As you can see from his photo, he’s one<br />

“cool dude”.<br />

Northwood gardener wins another cup<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

The spring garden<br />

competition has put some<br />

of the city’s most beautiful<br />

gardens in the spotlight,<br />

with Northwood resident<br />

Peter Lawrence taking out<br />

the top award. Ashleigh<br />

Monk talks to him about<br />

what makes his section<br />

stand out<br />

NORTHWOOD’S Peter<br />

Lawrence has always taken pride<br />

in his garden – and moving to<br />

a smaller section hasn’t stopped<br />

him from winning a top garden<br />

award.<br />

Mr Lawrence won the Andrews<br />

Cup at the Christchurch<br />

Beautifying Association’s spring<br />

garden competition.<br />

He has competed “just about<br />

every year” since 1974 and has<br />

won the cup numerous times.<br />

This was his first year working on<br />

a smaller section.<br />

“I was actually living next door,<br />

but it was time to down-size so I<br />

wouldn’t have such a big garden.<br />

This is the first year I’ve entered<br />

with this garden,” he said.<br />

“I feel really good to have won.<br />

There were some lovely gardens<br />

out there.”<br />

He said he has worked to get<br />

the garden looking perfect over<br />

the past year.<br />

“Laying the lawns, cutting out<br />

where the garden was going to<br />

be. I had a vision in my head of<br />

what it was going to look like and<br />

it turned out really well.”<br />

Mr Lawrence said gardening<br />

was a “great past-time”,<br />

regardless of the awards.<br />

“It gets you out and the<br />

neighbours talk to you, everyone<br />

that passes talks to you,” he said.<br />

“I’ll keep going as long as I’m<br />

able to. I like a nice garden, it<br />

offsets the house and upgrades<br />

the area a bit. It’s nice to have an<br />

area that people can enjoy.”<br />

Parklands resident Joceylin<br />

Ching was awarded a certificate<br />

of merit in the competition for<br />

her garden at 153 Royal Park<br />

Drive.<br />

After the earthquakes, the<br />

former Dallington resident<br />

scoured the red zone and rescued<br />

a number of rose bushes.<br />

She moved to Parklands<br />

from her Cheam St home after<br />

being red-zoned and the roses<br />

flourished.<br />

“I lot of the roses I picked up<br />

from people who were leaving the<br />

red zone,” she said.<br />

“It’s great now seeing it all<br />

come together, considering how<br />

sick a lot of the plants were when<br />

I lifted them up.”<br />

GREEN FINGERS: Northwood<br />

resident Peter Lawrence in his<br />

award-winning garden with<br />

his dog Roxy.<br />

Christchurch Beautifying<br />

Association president Ron<br />

Andrews said it had been the best<br />

spring awards since before the<br />

quakes.<br />

“This competition has been<br />

well-attended over the years,<br />

right up until the earthquake.<br />

We lost a lot of gardens after that,<br />

and it hasn’t been quite the same.<br />

But we’ve had a record year – this<br />

is the first time we’ve exceeded<br />

the 40 or so entries,” he said.<br />

He wanted to encourage more<br />

people to take part in the awards<br />

even if they didn’t have much<br />

gardening experience.<br />

“A lot of people feel they can’t<br />

compete with some of the top<br />

gardens, and of course that is<br />

difficult, but we’re encouraging<br />

people to come along, learn<br />

to built up their competition<br />

gardens, and we’re starting to get<br />

more interest. Things are looking<br />

really good.”<br />

“Visitors can try their hand at<br />

nearly anything from taking a<br />

bicycle ride with a skeleton, to<br />

being inside a kaleidoscope or<br />

from learning about the lifecycle<br />

how sonar works.”<br />

The Science Roadshow also<br />

hosted two live shows – Fire<br />

to temperature, and<br />

Am I Living? — exploring the<br />

Beating type two diabetes<br />

• By Louis Day<br />

CLAIRE HAMPTON managed<br />

to overcome her type two<br />

diabetes within four months<br />

thanks to Sport Canterbury’s Be<br />

Active programme.<br />

Mrs Hampton’s blood glucose<br />

levels dropped from 89 hba1c to<br />

37 hba1c, anything less than 40<br />

is considered normal, whereas<br />

levels over 50 suggest someone is<br />

diabetic.<br />

“My doctor was so happy, she<br />

sent me a text saying I was a<br />

legend.”<br />

Mrs Hampton now volunteers<br />

in Sports Canterbury new<br />

diabetes-specific programme,<br />

which is run in conjunction with<br />

the Diabetes Centre at Linwood<br />

Medical Centre.<br />

Mrs Hampton said the Be Active<br />

programme gave her a new<br />

lease of life.<br />

“One part of the programme<br />

is focused on well-being and<br />

nutrition whereas the other<br />

is all about exercise. I found<br />

out through Be Active all the<br />

places I could go for exercise that<br />

worked for me. I did Zumba,<br />

line dancing, thai chi, mall<br />

walking, just all sorts.”<br />

Mrs Hampton said the new<br />

diabetes-specific programme<br />

provides participants with the<br />

knowledge they need to cope<br />

LIFESTYLE: Claire Hampton’s blood glucose levels dropped<br />

with help from Sport Canterbury’s Be Active programme.<br />

with their illness.<br />

Participants have access to<br />

nutritionists and psychologists<br />

from the Diabetes Centre as<br />

well as the practice nurse from<br />

Linwood Medical Centre.<br />

Pre-diabetics and people with<br />

type two can come along to the<br />

programme, and others should<br />

keep an eye on their blood sugar<br />

levels by checking in with their<br />

GP.<br />

•The programme runs<br />

every Tuesday, 1pm, at the<br />

Linwood Medical Centre<br />

and costs $3 per session.<br />

Avonhead man finalist in<br />

horticultural competition<br />

AN AVONHEAD man is in the<br />

final of the Young Horticulturist<br />

of the Year.<br />

Southern Woods nursery sales<br />

consultant Devin Westley will<br />

travel to Auckland to face off<br />

against the best under-30s in the<br />

field.<br />

The 25-year-old has been in the<br />

industry for three years.<br />

The grand-final will be<br />

held on November 7 and 8.<br />

The finalists are made up<br />

of the best young talent in<br />

six sectors of horticulture.<br />

They are amenities, florist,<br />

grower, landscaper, nursery<br />

and viticulture.<br />

Mr Westley (right) is in<br />

the final for the nursery sector.<br />

The finalists will be judged in a<br />

range of activities.<br />

“One of the big parts [in the<br />

final] is I have designed a new<br />

product and written a business<br />

case about it and have to do a<br />

presentation about it,” he said.<br />

“I designed eco-friendly<br />

packaging for courier-freighting<br />

plants. I can’t give too much<br />

detail about it yet because it’s<br />

sensitive intellectual property,”<br />

Mr Westley said.<br />

In the final, he will also get<br />

quizzed on his industry knowledge<br />

and even a computer skills<br />

challenge, an aspect of horticulture<br />

people may not be familiar<br />

with.<br />

“That’s a problem with the way<br />

it’s presented in the schooling<br />

system, which is you go in there<br />

to do manual labour,” Mr Westley<br />

said.<br />

“But it’s much more than that,<br />

you need scientists to research,<br />

you need people breeding<br />

the plants and people<br />

with management skills.”<br />

Prior to joining the<br />

horticulture industry,<br />

Mr Westley was studied<br />

biosecurity, botany and<br />

ecology at Canterbury<br />

University.<br />

“I just changed because<br />

it was more practical. I couldn’t<br />

see my career path there [in<br />

biosecurity, botany and ecology],”<br />

he said.<br />

Mr Westley wants more young<br />

people to join the horticulture<br />

industry.<br />

“We’re a primary production<br />

country. One massive export is<br />

wood products, fruits and vegetables,<br />

and the job opportunities<br />

are endless,” he said.<br />

“There aren’t a lot of young<br />

people coming through and a<br />

lot of people are retiring,” Mr<br />

Westley said.<br />

Hearing aids from<br />

$495 with the<br />

Government subsidy.<br />

Hearing aids start from $495 if you’re eligible for the Government subsidy.<br />

The Government subsidy of $1,022.22 for a pair of hearing aids is available to New<br />

Zealand citizens and permanent residents aged 16 years and over, once every six<br />

Students cook up spicy book<br />

A COOK book inspired by<br />

recipes from refugees and<br />

immigrants has been created by<br />

a group of year 12 Rangi Ruru<br />

Girls’ School students.<br />

Lucy Johnson, Tulsi Lathia,<br />

Sarah Lawrence and Victoria<br />

Park compiled the 100-page<br />

book as part of the Lion Young<br />

Enterprise programme. Spoonful<br />

of Spice is set to be released before<br />

Christmas.<br />

Rangi Ruru teacher Jacqui<br />

Griffith said the book was an opportunity<br />

for the girls to put their<br />

skills to work.<br />

“These enthusiastic young<br />

women began the year with a<br />

vision of exposing the difficulties<br />

migrants have faced on their<br />

journeys to start a new life,” she<br />

said.<br />

“And that’s precisely what<br />

they’ve achieved. But more than<br />

this, it has also been an opportunity<br />

for the girls to develop<br />

and exhibit their leadership and<br />

entrepreneurial skills.”<br />

The girls first got in touch with<br />

a group of refugees and migrants<br />

six months ago, and organised a<br />

series of potluck dinners where<br />

the women prepared and served<br />

traditional meals from their<br />

homelands.<br />

In the cookbook, recipes from<br />

the dinner are accompanied by<br />

interviews with the women. The<br />

book aims to break down barriers<br />

between migrant communities<br />

and locals.<br />

“It’s hard when you feel so<br />

isolated,” Lucy said.<br />

“People really wanted to share<br />

SPICY: Rangi Ruru Girls’ School students Tulsi Lathia and<br />

Lucy Johnson have collated recipes for their cook book<br />

called Spoonful of Spice.<br />

SCHOOLS<br />

their recipes and their stories<br />

with us, and in publishing it,<br />

we’re helping break down the<br />

barriers that exist between our<br />

communities.”<br />

They received funding from<br />

awards including the Cora Wilding<br />

memorial fund,<br />

Coffee Culture local hero<br />

awards and the YMCA youth<br />

voice awards.<br />

Pre-orders for the book are being<br />

taken now.<br />

The girls are talking to a number<br />

of businesses about stocking<br />

their cookbook.<br />

They are also looking at demonstration<br />

evenings with the<br />

migrant women and a possible<br />

second edition.<br />

A HORNBY High School<br />

student was recognised at the<br />

Graeme Dingle Foundation<br />

Excellence Awards last week.<br />

Shardey Harris, 16, received<br />

the ‘Stars outstanding<br />

contribution from a peer mentor’<br />

award for her motivation,<br />

trustworthiness and her<br />

commitment to being<br />

an exceptional mentor<br />

and leader.<br />

The awards were<br />

held in Auckland to<br />

celebrate more than<br />

27,000 students, their<br />

mentors, leaders and<br />

volunteers across the<br />

country who have<br />

been involved in the<br />

foundation’s various<br />

youth development<br />

programmes.<br />

“I would not be<br />

where I am today<br />

without the Stars programme.<br />

I have suffered from anxiety<br />

throughout my life, which has<br />

set me back a lot,” Shardey said.<br />

“But looking back to when<br />

I first signed up to be a peer<br />

mentor, I am able to notice how<br />

much confidence I have gained,”<br />

SPORTS<br />

Confidence boost<br />

for Hornby High<br />

award-winner<br />

she said. Stars uses the teina/<br />

tukana mentoring model – the<br />

concept of an older brother or<br />

sister looking after a younger<br />

sibling – which exists to bridge<br />

the gap as students enter high<br />

school.<br />

“Sometimes coming from an<br />

area where people stereotype<br />

and categorise you, it<br />

can feel as if you are<br />

incapable, and that<br />

you have nothing<br />

useful to contribute<br />

to society,” Shardey<br />

said.<br />

“So the thought<br />

of even being<br />

considered for this<br />

award was something<br />

I did not think could<br />

be possible,” she said.<br />

The foundation’s<br />

co-founder<br />

and namesake,<br />

mountaineer Sir Graeme Dingle,<br />

says the awards showcase what<br />

the foundation stands for, which<br />

is to transform young lives.<br />

“Each year, these kids blow<br />

me away with their courage,<br />

determination and resilience,”<br />

Sir Graeme said.<br />

Promising Hornby hockey<br />

player helps Canterbury<br />

under-13s to Collier Trophy<br />

SPORTS<br />

• By Jacob Page<br />

HORNBY Hockey Club’s Katie<br />

Kirsopp is still pinching herself<br />

after being part of Canterbury’s<br />

victorious under-13 Collier<br />

Trophy team.<br />

Canterbury won the national<br />

tournament for the second<br />

year in a row after a dominant<br />

performance at North Harbour,<br />

winning all their games. They<br />

scored 27 goals and conceded<br />

just two.<br />

Katie, a striker, has played<br />

club hockey at Hornby for the<br />

past eight seasons. She was part<br />

of the Canterbury B age-group<br />

team before being picked for the<br />

Collier team this season.<br />

She said she enjoyed her time<br />

being coached by former Black<br />

Sticks’ Cathy Baker and Jordy<br />

Grant.<br />

She also praised her Hornby<br />

club coach Matt Cunningham<br />

for improving her skill level so<br />

she could make the team.<br />

Central Otago tipped-over<br />

Auckland in one semi-final,<br />

while Canterbury beat<br />

Hawkes Bay 5-0 in their<br />

semi-final. Canterbury then<br />

defeated Central Otago in the<br />

final.<br />

“We played really well all<br />

tournament and our defence<br />

was really strong and we had<br />

plenty of chances to score goals<br />

up-front,” the Springston School<br />

pupil said.​<br />

Katie, who plays tennis<br />

socially in the summer, said<br />

being part of the team was a<br />

thrill and she is keen to progress<br />

her hockey career not only at<br />

Hornby but also at Lincoln High<br />

School when she starts there<br />

next year.<br />

during the final, I think we got<br />

sunburnt it was so hot,” he said.<br />

“I thought the team did really<br />

well to handle the pressure, particularly<br />

in the close games, he<br />

said. “We worked on our defence<br />

and that’s what really helped us<br />

in a final against a team which<br />

had given us some trouble<br />

throughout the season.”<br />

Daly hoped many of the players<br />

at the nine-a-side tournament<br />

would continue to rise through<br />

the ranks.<br />

“Once they hit the 13th grade<br />

next year, it goes to the traditional<br />

11-a-side format,” he said.<br />

WORKSAFE NEW Zealand<br />

has b en a proached in a bid to<br />

fina ly repair the potholes in New<br />

Brighton’s Hawke St car park.<br />

Coastal-Burwood Ward city<br />

counci lor David East wants<br />

WorkSafe to pre sure the car<br />

park’s private owners into<br />

repairing the potholes which are<br />

a “trip and vehicle” hazard.<br />

WorkSafe chief inspector<br />

a se sment southern Da ren<br />

Handforth said it may be able to<br />

take action under the Health and<br />

Safety at Work Act 2015, “as a<br />

person conducting a busine s or<br />

undertaking.”<br />

Mr Handforth said WorkSafe<br />

is aware of the concerns raised by<br />

Cr East abou the car park.<br />

“WorkSafe has completed<br />

an a se sment visi to the site<br />

and is engaging with the owner<br />

to advise them that it is their<br />

responsibility to manage their<br />

risks a propriately.”<br />

Different parts of the car park<br />

are owned by various people<br />

and the Coastal-Burw od<br />

Community Board recently<br />

wrote to them about its concerns<br />

around health and safety.<br />

Cr East said the bi gest i sue<br />

in the past has b en ge ting in<br />

touch with the landlords and<br />

owners and ge ting them to<br />

agr e to anything. “The board<br />

a preciates that multi-ownership<br />

of the parking space may present<br />

a difficulty in co-ordinating<br />

repair/resurfacing but felt obliged<br />

to pa s these concerns onto you,”<br />

said the le ter.<br />

One reply has b en received so<br />

far from an owner who is wi ling<br />

to discu s the i sue. However, a l<br />

the owners would have to agr e<br />

to undertake work.<br />

Cr East said there had b en<br />

a “number of incidences” in<br />

the car park of people injuring<br />

themselves which had gone<br />

unreported.<br />

“I’ve always though that it<br />

has b en quite amazing that we<br />

haven’t had any serious a cidents<br />

or senior citizens perhaps<br />

tri ping in those potholes and<br />

doing themselve some damage.”<br />

He is confiden the new<br />

a proach wi l bring results.<br />

“I think the WorkSafe<br />

involvement may prove to be the<br />

lever that we are l oking for.”<br />

New bid to fix potholes<br />

Action looms<br />

THE PAPANUI-I nes<br />

Community Board has taken the<br />

rare step of starting a petition<br />

to figh the city council over<br />

funding.<br />

Signatures are being co lected<br />

in a bid to get funding for a community<br />

facility in Shirley.<br />

It comes after the city council<br />

removed funding for the centre<br />

pla ned for Shirley Rd, near the<br />

intersection with Hi ls Rd. This<br />

was the site of the former community<br />

centre, which was badly<br />

damaged in the February 2,<br />

20 1, earthquake.<br />

The removal o funding<br />

prompted community board<br />

chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten<br />

to stan down, citing it as her “die<br />

in the ditch” project.<br />

Ms Jone said the board’s role<br />

is to represen the community,<br />

and by gathering signatures from<br />

residents, it was fulfi ling that<br />

role.<br />

“One of the roles of a community<br />

board is to represent and act<br />

as advocate for the interests of its<br />

community and this is what we<br />

are doing. The LTP and a nual<br />

plans are a l about lo bying the<br />

Cave Rock<br />

Apartments’<br />

owners<br />

expect EQC<br />

sign-off<br />

this week<br />

• By Sarla Donovan<br />

THE OWNERS of Sumner’s Cave<br />

Rock Apartments ar expecting the<br />

Earthquake Commi sion to sign-off<br />

on a se tlement agr emen this w ek.<br />

Body corporate chairman Mike<br />

White said the group had gone<br />

into mediation with IAG and EQC<br />

on February 20, and signed off<br />

on a deal with IAG on February<br />

2 – coincidenta ly seven years<br />

to the day after the February 2,<br />

20 1, earthquake. However, they<br />

are waiting for EQC to sign the<br />

agr ement.<br />

“Given that EQC actua ly drafted<br />

the agr ement, there’ l be no<br />

problem with them doing that.”<br />

The apartment suffere damage<br />

in the February and June, 20 1,<br />

earthquakes and were demolished in<br />

late 2012. In 2016, IAG’s offer of the<br />

difference betw en indemnity value,<br />

$10 mi lion, and the sum insured,<br />

$16 mi lion, was rejected by the body<br />

corporate.<br />

The mediation agr ement<br />

prevented Mr White from disclosing<br />

the se tlement amount, but he said it<br />

involved the two parties paying “a bit<br />

more money than they’d wanted to<br />

earlier.”<br />

A WOOLSTON butcher proved<br />

to be a cut above the rest in an<br />

international competition.<br />

New World Fe ry Rd butcher<br />

Jeremy Garth and his team, the<br />

Pure South Sharp Blacks, recently<br />

came second a the World<br />

Butchers’ Cha lenge in Northern<br />

Ireland.<br />

It was the firs time Mr Garth<br />

had competed in the cha lenge<br />

and he was “rea ly proud” of<br />

how the team performed.<br />

“We produced some top quality<br />

products and came away<br />

with a g od result so we’re very<br />

ha py,” he said.<br />

The preparation for this year’s<br />

World Butchers’ Cha lenge was<br />

intense as the team members<br />

met in Auckland every two<br />

months for lengthy w ekend<br />

practices.<br />

Mr Garth, who has b en a<br />

butcher for 14 years, said the<br />

competition brought back his<br />

pa sion for the job.<br />

“Doing a l thi stuff and<br />

m eting new people, s eing new<br />

ideas, it just brings that flair<br />

back for you,” he said.<br />

Mr Garth hopes t own a<br />

butcher shop of his own someday<br />

but says for now he wi l focus<br />

on ge ting mor experience<br />

and on the 2020 cha lenge.<br />

“In two years’ time, we’ l be<br />

going back to try and win the<br />

title,” he said.<br />

A CRACKDOWN on mobile<br />

traders acro s the districts could<br />

be l oming.<br />

However, the public has li tle<br />

interest in having input into the<br />

i sue.<br />

Only eight submi sions were<br />

received for a potential bylaw<br />

aimed at regulating commercial<br />

activities in public places.<br />

The district council wi l be<br />

holding a hearing for the Public<br />

Places Bylaw and Policy on Commercial<br />

Activities and Events in<br />

Public Places.<br />

A hearing i scheduled to be<br />

held on Thursday.<br />

The bylaw comes as an increasing<br />

number of mobile traders<br />

are s eking t operate in Selwyn,<br />

especia ly during the summer<br />

months.<br />

In the past year, the district<br />

council has received five inquiries<br />

about se ting up a mobile busine s<br />

on private or public land.<br />

A report said there are two<br />

str et operators in Darfield, a<br />

coff e cart is parked beside the<br />

railway in Ro leston, and a pi za<br />

cart visits Lincoln w ekly betw en<br />

Pupils learn about role of war horses<br />

GR ENDALE SCHOOL pupils<br />

have taken a step back in time,<br />

s eing first hand what men and<br />

horses l oked like during war.<br />

The New Zealand Mounted<br />

Rifles Charitable Trust president<br />

Mark A pleton and member<br />

Mike Donaldson t ok their<br />

horses to the sch ol on Monday,<br />

in a bid to educate pupils on the<br />

sacrifice their ancestors made in<br />

World War 1 and World War 2.<br />

Mr A pleton and Mr Donaldson<br />

a rived a the sch ol dre sed<br />

in World War 1 uniforms while<br />

their horses Tommy and Kruze<br />

wore 1 0-year-old sa dles donated<br />

to the trust.<br />

The presentation is a prelude<br />

to the Gr endale Recreation Reserve<br />

Management Commi t e’s<br />

upcoming Anzac Day service.<br />

As a tribute to those who<br />

served, members of the trust wi l<br />

ride horseback to the service.<br />

Mr A pleton said it was<br />

important children were<br />

educated on what soldiers<br />

wen through during World<br />

War 1 and World War 2.<br />

But he said the presentation<br />

didn’t go into t o much detail<br />

and was more of a “show and<br />

te l” to make them aware of what<br />

the soldiers l oked like.<br />

Children were shown the type<br />

of kits horses were required to<br />

wear in the war.<br />

AN U PER Ri carton butcher<br />

has proven himself to be a cut<br />

above his Au sie rivals at an<br />

international competition.<br />

Elite Meats owner Corey<br />

Winder was named in the a l<br />

star team a the World Butchers’<br />

Cha lenge in Northern Ireland.<br />

Mr Winder and his team, the<br />

Pure South Sharp Blacks, which<br />

includes W olston butcher<br />

Jeremy Garth, finished second<br />

in the competition.<br />

He said the cha lenge started<br />

as a “transtasman test match”<br />

seven years ago.<br />

The preparation for this<br />

year’s World Butchers’ Challenge<br />

was intense as the team<br />

members met in Auckland<br />

every two months for lengthy<br />

w ekend practices. Mr Winder<br />

said coming second against 1<br />

other countries was a “fantastic”<br />

result.<br />

“To get second behind Ireland<br />

was a huge achievement and to<br />

be ahead of Australia is an<br />

even bi ger thing for us,” he<br />

said.<br />

But Mr Winder admires the<br />

Australian team.<br />

“Those guys over there<br />

[Australia] are on top of their<br />

game, they do a g od job,” he<br />

said.<br />

“And it just showcases that<br />

New Zealand has got some<br />

of the best butchers in the<br />

world,” he said.<br />

Mr Winder has b en a butcher<br />

Mayor Lia ne Dalziel told the<br />

board on Thursday it had the okay<br />

from the city council to make a<br />

submi sion if Fulton Hogan a plies<br />

for a resource consen to create a<br />

qua ry.<br />

Board chairman Mike Mora<br />

told <strong>Western</strong> <strong>News</strong> the submi sion<br />

would likely o pose Fulton Hogan’s<br />

plan.<br />

“You can just about guarant e<br />

it . because we [the community<br />

board] don’t believe qua ries<br />

should be so close to residential<br />

areas,” he said.<br />

Mr Mora said he wasn’t sure if<br />

the city council would endorse the<br />

board’ submi sion.<br />

“I’d like to think so because the<br />

city council has had their eyes<br />

open as we l ove recent years over<br />

the crysta line silica risk,” he said.<br />

Mr Mora said the community<br />

board wi l be “representing and<br />

advocating” for the Templeton<br />

community.<br />

Goodbye to Westview Lounge<br />

and Chalmers Restaurant<br />

e DnD Duo<br />

THE entire west wing of the Hornby WMC<br />

closes this weekend. e closure heralds Stage<br />

1 of an exciting two-year redevelopment<br />

project commencing in November.<br />

“It’s a major $18 million redevelopment<br />

that involves the demolition and rebuilding of<br />

half the Club’s current premises,” said Paul<br />

Inwood, General Manager. “e main bar area<br />

needed to be earthquake strengthened, so the<br />

Board decided to look at the bigger picture<br />

and create a multi-functional facility where<br />

families can spend more time in a relaxed<br />

environment.”<br />

e new west wing, to be completed by the<br />

end of 2019, will incorporate a large sports bar<br />

on the ground floor and a mezzanine floor<br />

above with a performance area and a cafe<br />

opening out to a deck with indoor/outdoor<br />

eating options.<br />

Next stage, the current east wing main bar<br />

will be gutted and replaced with a family<br />

restaurant; indoor children’s playground;<br />

corporate areas; and hall for the Club’s sporting<br />

sections. Completion date for Stage 2 is set at<br />

12 months aer completion of Stage 1.<br />
