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 />

along with Squadron Leader<br />

Wigram collided over Wigram<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 />
REMEMBRANCE: Retired engineer Ron Fensom stands by the plaque he campaigned for to<br />
memorialise the fatal mid-air collision.<br />
the 19,756km London to<br />
Christchurch International Air<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 />

remembered by street names in<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 />

Veterinary practice<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 />

Said Science Roadshow<br />
manager Shane Kingston:<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 />
of whitebait to exploring<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 />
key processes of life.<br />
The Science Roadshow<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 />

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 />
Nomads youngsters<br />
show their class<br />
• By Jacob Page<br />
THE Nomads AFC 12th grade<br />
boys team have won their South<br />
Island tournament in Blenheim<br />
in commanding fashion.<br />
The team went undefeated in<br />
their eight games, winning seven<br />
and drawing one.<br />
They beat Waimak Black 2-1<br />
in the final, a team which had<br />
beaten them during the course of<br />
the season.<br />
Coach Steve Daly said he was<br />
thrilled the team were able to<br />
win, particularly with the challenging<br />
conditions.<br />
“We had days with sleet and<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 />

car park<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 />

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 />

has b en given the gr en ligh to<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 />
