Code of conduct issue
Jones and
Stringer at
centre of
conflict
• By Ashleigh Monk
THE PAPANUI-Innes
Community Board is embroiled
in a code of conduct issue.
But the city council and the
community board are refusing
to release details about what
board member or members are
involved.
Nor’West News understands
ongoing tension between board
chairwoman Ali Jones and
outspoken board member John
Stringer has led to the code of
conduct matter.
Mr Stringer has been
outspoken in the past about
board decisions, in particular
the Main North Rd bus priority
project.
Nor’West News revealed
last month an independent
facilitator was needed to oversee
a confidential meeting between
board members on September 24
because of ongoing conflict.
A request by Nor West News
under the Local Government
Official Information Meetings
Act for emails between Ms Jones
and Mr Stringer has been refused
by the city council.
CLASH: It is understood that ongoing tension between Papanui-Innes Community Board chairwoman Ali Jones and outspoken
board member John Stringer has led to a code of conduct investigation.
Last month, Ms Jones
told Nor’West News Mr Stringer
was a “relative newcomer to the
board” who “needed clarification
regarding the process.”
Her comment prompted an
angry response from Mr Stringer,
who claimed confidentiality had
been breached.
Neither Mr Stringer or Ms
Jones would discuss the code of
conduct investigation.
The city council said it had
refused to release the emails
between Ms Jones and Mr
Stringer because “it would
inhibit the exchange of free and
frank opinions in future.” The
city council also said “public
exposure of those opinions can
sometimes have a chilling effect
on people’s willingness to express
themselves openly, honestly and
completely in future.”
The city council considered
that the correspondence between
Ms Jones and Mr Stringer was an
exchange constituting a “free and
frank expression of opinion”.
The city council said it would
not comment on the code of
conduct investigation until it was
completed.
Meanwhile, code of conduct
complaints against Coastal
Ward city councillor David East,
Coastal-Burwood Community
Board chairwoman Kim Money
and deputy chairman Tim Sintes,

On page 1 today, we reveal a code of conduct complaint
involving a board member, or members, is being investigated by

But the council and board mouths are zipped over who is
involved and what the code of conduct complaint is specifically
about.
We know there are tensions between board chairwoman

$10k to enhance Bishopdale
• By Ashleigh Monk
BISHOPDALE VILLAGE Mall is
set to be rejuvenated for the first
time in more than 50 years.
Last week the Fendalton-
Waimairi-Harewood
Community Board granted
$10,000 to the
Bishopdale
Regeneration
Project.
The money
will be spent
on beautifying
the area and
Amanda
Nuttall
developing
fun, friendly
spaces for the
community.
Suggestions for the project
included a mural, outdoor
markets, new seating, pathways,
plantings, improvements to toilet
blocks, outdoor chess and ping
pong, and new signage.
Bishopdale Businesses
Association chairwoman
Amanda Nuttall said she was
glad funding for the upgrade had
been approved.
“Bishopdale Village was
started in the 1960s and has had
no significant upgrade in that
time,” she said.
“A start has been made with
REGENERATE: The Bishopdale Village Mall will be rejuvenated
for the first time since it was established in the 1960’s.
the library and community
centre but it would be great to see
more of the village upgraded.”
She said the only challenge left
would be finding projects that
all businesses in the area were on
board with.
“One of the challenges
here is that the buildings
are individually-owned and
ensuring all landlords commit to
the upgrade is not easy.”
She hopes the upgrade
will draw more people to the
Bishopdale area.
“The population in this area
is growing and this is an easilyaccessible
and convenient hub of
the community.”
The association has been
working with the community
board and Development
Christchurch Ltd to pinpoint
what people wanted to see in
the area. DCL chief executive
Rob Hall said working with the
community on the project was
essential.
“The aim has been to canvass
the views of the people and
groups who
live and work
in the village to
identify possible
opportunities to
improve and revitalise
the area,
attract more
people and create
a more lively Rob Hall
space,” he said.
“A recent design workshop
identified some possible actions
for the area, including working
with the business association
to create niche attractions
and branding, some ‘quick
win’ projects to liven-up the
space, potential commercial
redevelopments to create better
connections and a review of land
use.”
Community board chairman
Sam MacDonald said it was
“about time” the Bishopdale area
had an upgrade.
“We need to stop talking about
this stuff and just do it.”

Survey won’t change Richmond
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
RICHMOND residents don’t
believe a survey aiming to gather
information on what is needed
in the suburb will make any
difference to the area.
The city council has
commissioned independent
social researcher Sarah Wylie
to undertake a Richmond
community needs analysis
survey.
But a key
source of
information for
the survey will
not be made
available until
Hayley
Guglietta
Matthew
Horncastle
next year. It
aims to provide
a demographic
profile of
Richmond using
the 2018 Census
data.
Statistics New
Zealand could
not confirm a
timeframe on
when the Census
data would be
made public, but
it won’t be until next year.
Richmond Residents
and Business Association
chairwoman Hayley Guglietta
UNENTHUSIASTIC: Richmond residents are uncertain
a survey commissioned by the city council will make a
difference to improving the area.
said the survey would only
confirm what residents already
know.
“Also there is not much they
can do until they get the Census
data,” she said.
City council head of
community support, governance
and partnerships John Filsell
said 18 key informants in the
Richmond community will be
interviewed for the analysis
survey.
A timeline has not been
specified on when the survey
will be released.
Mrs Guglietta said one
issue Richmond is facing has
to do with the high-density
development that is impacting
on communities because there
was no notification on the
consents.
She said by the time the survey
gets the data it will be too late.
The association has expressed
concern over the Williams
Corporation’s 21 housing unit
development at 58 Perth St.
Work on the development is
expected to start next year.
Williams Corporation managing
director Matthew
Horncastle said the residents
shouldn’t be notified because it
complies with all the planning
rules.
“I am very disappointed in
news channels that condone
people complaining about highdensity
affordable housing when
New Zealand has some of the
most unaffordable housing in
the world,” he said.
Richmond resident Don
Gould called the survey
engagement for the sake of
engagement.
He said he has been
interviewed by the researcher
and the information may not
be presented until the middle of
next year.
“There is too much
construction, too much
frustration with everything
closed at once,” he said.
But city councillor Deon
Swiggs said it will give direction
on what Richmond needs as a
collective.
“It is one of the suburbs that
doesn’t have a master plan
. . . after the earthquake, a lot of
other suburbs had master plans,”
he said.
Concerns over
Riccarton Rd
tree plan
• By Anan Zaki
TREES COULD soon line the
middle of Riccarton Rd – but the
city council proposal has been
slammed by residents.
It is planning to plant 27
columnar hornbeam trees along
the median of Riccarton Rd
between Clarence and Matipo
Sts.
In a strongly worded letter
to Mayor Lianne Dalziel, city
council chief executive Karleen
Edwards and Wigram MP
Megan Woods, the Central
Riccarton Residents’ Association
said the proposal is “extremely
dangerous”.
Association chairman Garth
Wilson said about 80 members
were asked about the trees and
90 per cent opposed it.
“Riccarton Rd is narrow
as it is and ambulances and
fire engines inevitably have to
travel down the middle of the
road because of traffic build
up, especially since there are
four sets of traffic lights from
Clarence St to Matipo St,” the
residents said.
The trees are part of stage two
of the Riccarton Rd upgrade,
scheduled to begin early next
year.

Fire rages, homes at risk
Battle won to make road safer
• By Ashleigh Monk
ONE OF the city’s biggest
employers has won the battle to
make a Harewood road safer.
Tait Communications
approached the Fendalton-
Waimairi-Harewood
Community Board in an effort
to have no-stopping restrictions
and a flush median outside the
entrance to its Wooldridge Rd
business.
The company, which employs
more than 400 people at the
site on Woolrdridge Rd, raised
concerns last month over the low
visibility at the entrance to its car
park.
The recent upgrade to Russley
Rd banned right turns from
Wairakei Rd onto Russley Rd,
which has resulted in more traffic
using Wooldridge Rd.
There have been two reported
crashes along the section of
Wooldridge Rd in the last five
years and four within the last
eight years.
All the recorded crashes were
located at driveways and three of
those were directly outside the
Tait Communications site.
A Tait Communications
spokesperson said the company
was “extremely pleased” with
SUCCESS: Tait Communications has won the battle to have
no-stopping restrictions and a flush median put along
Wooldridge Rd near its headquarters (inset).
the community board’s decision
to allow no-stopping lines and a
flush median to be installed on
the road.
“As the road has become more
heavily used, the number of
recorded near-miss events had
made this a major safety risk for
our staff members and visitors,”
the spokesperson said.
“The council and community
board members have been very
responsive to this and the
proposed changes will resolve all
of the concerns we have had.”
The decision to approve the
proposal was delayed after the
community board requested city
council staff look into other
options that would save on-street
parking.
However, community
board chairman Sam
MacDonald said parking
could not be saved.
But he was happy with the
outcome.
“All we asked for was that
council staff went back to
Wooldridge Rd for two weeks to
look at whether we can keep any
car parking,” he said.
“They’ve gone and done
that, and they couldn’t keep
any because of the safety
requirements.
“There has been no additional
cost. There’s been a slight
delay of a couple of weeks, but
we communicated that with
Tait, who were obviously quite
concerned, and they’re quite
comfortable with where we are at
with the decision.”
No new bus
stops for
Gardiners Rd
• By Ashleigh Monk
A BID to install four bus stops
along Gardiners Rd has failed.
The bus stops were proposed
to accommodate changes to
the No 28 bus, which has had
its route extended to include
Bishopdale, Casebrook and
Northwood.
The Fendalton-Waimairi-
Harewood Community Board
agreed to monitor the road over
the next six months to see if
demand for more stops grows.
Board chairman Sam
MacDonald said the two
adjacent bus stops located
between Harewood and
Sawyers Arms Rds would
service the area in the
meantime.
“Council staff are going to
come back to us in six months
and see if there’s more demand
for another one,” he said.
“On that road at the
moment there are 16 people a
day using the bus, so the need
for it is just not there at the
moment.”
He said he understood
some bus-users would be
disappointed with the decision.

1300 parking offences near airport
Community
group says it
has solution
• By Anan Zaki
MORE THAN 1300 parking
offences have been recorded near
the Airport Business Park in
Russley this year.
Out of the offences, 973 were

the business park.
The community group
represents affected Russley
residents.
People of Russley have been
fighting against car parking near
the business park since it opened
in 2010, he said.
Residents only parking cannot
come soon enough for residents,
Prof Bagchi said.
“In July 2017, we got 60min
parking [from 120min].”
But residents knew the 60min
parking limit would not work, he
said. “60min parking means you
need to have enforcement officers
continuously,” Prof Bagchi said.
“It is not very practical to
put an enforcement officer
completely dedicated for one
road.”
The high number of offences
proved residents fears that the
60min parking restrictions
would not work, Prof Bagchi
said. “So you can imagine how
miserably it has failed.”
Community board chairman
Sam MacDonald said the city
council currently does not have
ability to impose residents only
parking.
The city council is
currently reviewing consultation
for its draft suburban parking
policy, which would give it the
ability to impose residents only
parking.
Mr MacDonald said parking
enforcement officers need to
monitor streets near the business
park on a regular basis.
“The feedback I get [from
residents is] in some streets you
can’t move down them because
of the narrow nature when they
are blocked up.”
The board submitted in favour
of residents only parking in the
draft suburban parking policy,
Mr MacDonald said.
“What we need staff to be
really clear on when they
develop this [residents only
parking] is . . . we need to have
a really clear and structured
criteria where residents parking
applies.
“When there are significant
[parking] issues, we want to be
able to deal with them quickly,”
Mr MacDonald said.

Rules set to change at reserve
Aim to improve
safety at
Roto Kohatu
• By Ashleigh Monk
THE RULES at Roto Kohatu
Recreation Reserve are set to be
tightened.
Last week the Fendalton-
Waimairi-Harewood
Community Board approved a
proposal to improve safety at the
reserve.
Over the last
two months,
council staff
and board
members have
taken a closer
look at how the
reserve operates
Sam
MacDonald
and outlined
a number of
safety concerns.
The concerns
included damage to bollards and
gates, internal road safety, how
rangers spent their time and a
lack of clarity over who can use
the lake and at what time.
Several conflicts have been
started over the use of the lake,
and signage to indicate who is
using it has been raised to solve
SAFETY FIRST: The Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood
Community Board has approved safety improvements at Lake
Roto Kohatu Reserve.
the issues.
Community board chairman
Sam MacDonald said the safety
improvements will get under way
“as soon as possible.”
“It’s more about making the
reserve more accessible for
people to use, particularly over
summer, and managing the
growing demand,” he said.
“Most of it is under way or will
be under way as soon as possible.
We’ve got summer coming up, so
it’s important that we get those
things sorted.”
He said council staff will
monitor the lake over the
summer period to ensure users
follow the safety guidelines.
“Staff will come back to us
after summer to tell us how it
went, and what we need to do to
change it so we can make it the
best facility we can,” he said.
Board member Aaron Campbell
said the biggest issue is
managing access when demand
is high.“I haven’t heard of physical
fighting. However, I have
heard of verbal disagreements
and arguments,” he said.
“I understand why residents
and users can have differing
expectations and due to the
uniqueness of Roto Kohatu,
managing the space is not easy,
but as a organisation, we are trying
our very best as the reserve is
still being developed.”
“On days when 1000-2000 additional
people turn up, parking
too close to the water has been
identified as an issue and does
stretch the limits of the portaloos
on-site. This could become a
health issue.”
He said he was happy the
safety improvements are going
ahead. “I believe there are a
lot less incidents now than
there were earlier, so some
improvements have been
effective. But other issues do
arise and they need to be sorted
as well,” he said.

Fire rages, homes at risk
CBD parking
fix could cost
ratepayers
• By Julia Evans
SECRET discussions have been
held over how to fix parking
problems in the central city which
could come at a cost to ratepayers.
City councillors met last week
behind-closed-doors to consider a
report on “central city reduced fee
parking.”
The city council has refused
to release the report, or answer
questions about it. It was deemed
“commercially sensitive” for the
public and city councillors remain
tight-lipped.
But private car park owners and
developers have been approached
to see what role they can play.
Central city retailers have
been struggling to compete with
suburban malls which offer free
parking.
But property developer
Antony Gough, who is building
a 400-space parking building
on Hereford St, said there has
been discussion with the council
around rates rebates or subsides
for private providers.
The report was left on the table
without a recommendation being
approved and will be debated
again by city councillors.

A “RARE and magical moment”
caught on camera saw a Hornby
teen win a photography award.
Zoe Evans, 15, won the 11 to
15 category for a close-up shot of
a Bellbird inside Auckland Zoo’s
aviary.
“When the Bellbird finally
realised I was there, it looked
straight at me with its beautiful
brown eyes and I took my final
shot. It was truly a rare and
magical moment,” she said.
Anna Babington’s heartbreaking
shot of a injured seal
by a boat propeller was second
place.
Max Eadie-Lilley won the
under-10 category with his
moody monochrome shot of a
school of fish in a Lake Taupo
dam.

SNAP: Hornby resident Zoe
Evans’ photo (top left) won the
11 to 15-year-old category in
Canterbury Museum’s youth
photography competition.
He took the photo, which he
titled Stuck, during a weekend
away with his family.
Dylan Fisher, 10, was runnerup
for his portrait of a Kea,
which judges said captured the
bird’s intelligence and famously
cheeky nature.
The competition titled
Amazing Animals attracted
more than 200 entries from
photographers aged 15 and under
throughout Canterbury.
The judges convened last week
to choose a winner and runnerup
from the two categories.
Canterbury Museum curator
natural history Cor Vink, who
was one of the competition’s
three judges, said the panel was
blown away by the quality of the
entries.
“We were just amazed by
the talent these young people
had. We recently hosted the
Natural History Museum’s
Wildlife Photographer of the Year
exhibition, and I honestly think
some of these shots would not
have looked out of place on the
walls of that exhibition.”
The winners won Prezzie Card
prizes and their photographs are

New life for Ballantynes’ Xmas window
• By Georgia O’Connor-
Harding
A PROP maker who has worked
on some of the biggest movies
to be filmed in New Zealand has
helped bring Ballantynes’ iconic
Christmas windows to life this
year.
Simon Hames has led a high
flying career working on the sets
of King Kong and The Lord of the
Rings.
In 1999 he won the Supreme
WOW Award for making wearable
chairs for the World of
Wearable Art festival.
After starting work as a visual
merchandise team member this
year, Mr Hames was tasked with
building the Christmas window.
With the talent of Mr Hames
on board, it was the reason Ballantynes
decided to create the
windows in-house this year as
opposed to outsourcing.
Visual merchandise manager
Danielle Casey, who led the charge
for this year’s theme, also has a
distinguished background in design,
having created windows for
department stores Harrods and
Selfridges in the United Kingdom.
Pearl Schwalger-Smith, who
has worked in a range of roles at
Ballantynes in the past 10 years
has also been heavily involved in
designing the project.
It is the first time in about 20
years the windows have been
designed in-house.
Miss Casey said the project has
been a “labour of love” with her
team working on it since April.
She said the theme of mice was
inspired by popular children’s
films featuring mice including
The Borrowers, Mouse Hunt and
Stuart Little.
Ballantynes has made
Christmas extra special for kids
in more ways than one this
year, creating a limited edition
children’s book to match the
window’s theme.
The book called The Merry
Mice of Dunstable House was
donated to every primary school
in the city and Timaru.
The setting for the Christmas
window and book is at Dunstable
House, the original building
where Ballantynes was established
in 1854.
It tells the tale of a little family
of mischievous mice living with
humans at Christmas time.
Ballantynes has also spread

the Christmas cheer by making
its own teddy bears named
Dunstable.
With every teddy bear sold
throughout December, one is
donated to the children’s ward at
Christchurch Hospital.
Marketing manager Anna
Powell said Ballantynes wanted
to do a couple of little things for
the community as a way of giving
back at Christmas time.
The Merry Mice of Dunstable
House is on sale for $19 until the
end of December.

Fire rages, homes at risk
MP grows
a mo for a
good cause
WAIMAKARIRI MP Matt
Doocey has raised $800 for men’s
health during Movember.
He hoped to raise awareness
and support for the Movember
Foundation and men’s health
issues such as prostate and
testicular cancer, and mental
health and suicide prevention.
“Movember is something we
as Kiwi blokes can get behind
by participating, promoting and
donating to this worthy cause.
While I’ve had a few laughs
along the way, men’s health is
something we should be creating
awareness around to reduce the
number of men suffering from
serious health issues like these,”
he said. Mr Doocey abandoned
his attempt to grow a goatee to go
with his new moustache earlier
in the month, on the advice of his
constituents.
“By week three, my wife
informed me I was showing a
strong resemblance to the Swedish
Chef from the Muppets,” he said.
The bald MP said he was aware
that the electorate had been
waiting to see what colour his
facial hair would grow out as.

Stroke victim a step closer
to getting his tricycle
• By Anan Zaki
STROKE VICTIM Grant
Cowan is edging closer to
getting back cycling.
Friends of the former police
officer and triathlete rallied
around the him after he suffered
two strokes 18 months
ago.
They set up a Go Fund Me
page to buy a recumbent tricycle
for the 52-year-old former
Papanui resident.
Donations from 149 people
reached $12,300 last Friday.
They need $16,500 to buy the
trike, which is able to be ridden
while sitting down.
Mr Cowan lost the ability to
speak, and lost feeling in his
right arm and right leg after
the stroke. He now lives at St
John of God care facility in
Halswell.
Mr Cowan’s friend of 30
years Rodger Wyatt told
Western News in October
that when he tried the trike
at the Bike Expo, they saw
an expression unseen for 18
months.
“The look on his face, he was
just absolutely humming.”

McKay exhibition in Akaroa
• By Louis Day
RETIRED REDWOOD
photographer Donald McKay’s
work is will be exhibited in the
Akaroa Museum.
At the start of the year, Mr
McKay donated more than
40,000 individual frames to the
museum which date from the
late 1940s to the early 1980s.
The collection of photos
document social and community
events, weddings, farming
activities and other aspects of
life across the Banks Peninsula.
Mr McKay, 84, grew up on a
farm in Le Bons Bay and began
taking photos at Christchurch
Boy’s High School when he
joined the camera club.
Mr McKay sold his bike and
his best pair of shoes to buy a
second-hand camera.
“We had some really, really
good instructors, including
Len Casbolt and Frank
McGregor. Also, I used to
spend a lot of time at my
uncle Stan McKay’s as he was
the Christchurch Star Sun
photographer and his son
Ross was a skilled horse racing
photographer. I used to admire
their beautiful cameras and
enlargers . . . I’m not sure what
I liked more, the photography
or the equipment.”
Mr McKay started his first
photography job in 1961 at
Burwood Hospital as a medical
photographer, but would still
travel back to the peninsula
during the weekend to photograph
various community
events. Museum collections
manager Daniel Smith said the
exhibition would focus on Mc-
Kay’s work during the 1950s.
“During the 50s he was

doing a lot of odd jobs as well
as photography. He did a lot a

also take his camera with him
when he was working on his

would include some of Mc-
Kay’s most explicit work.
“I’ve included a photograph

The tails were cut off with

The exhibition will open

City chorus puts
on festive show
•
By Ashleigh Monk
THE Christchurch City Chorus
is putting on a festive show to
get everyone into the Christmas
spirit.
On December 15 the choir will
take the stage to perform The
Magic of Christmas.
Musical director Virginia
Humphrey-Taylor said the show
would include Christmas carols,
skits, poems and dancing.
“We want to share the joy and
music of Christmas with people,”
she said.
“We want everyone to come
and sing carols with us. It’s
something for the whole family
to get everyone excited for
Christmas.”
She said about 80 members of
the choir would be performing.
“We’ve got quartets singing,
we’ve got small groups singing,
we’ve got about 20 children who
will be performing,” she said.
“We’ll sing a lot of the classic
Christmas carols, but there will
also be a few songs that people
won’t know; songs from around
the world about Christmas.”
The show would give members
a chance to get some practice
in before the Christchurch City
Chorus heads to New Orleans
for a performance in September.
“We’re doing as many shows
as we can so we are prepared,”
she said.
She said she hoped to showcase
the group and encourage
new members to join.
“We’re looking for new
members all the time. There’s
always a turn over of membership
because people move away
or their lives change, so this is a
chance for people who might be
interested in joining to see what
we do.”
The Magic of Christmas will
be performed on December 15,
with a matinee at 2pm and an
evening show at 7pm.
Tickets are $25 for adults, $20
for seniors and $10 for children,
and can be purchased at www.
ccchorus.co.nz or by contacting
Jeannette McGrath on 021 976

BABIES AND theatre are not
usually two things that are put
together.
In fact, any parent who has
taken a baby to a performance
knows it can be challenging at
best and a disaster at worst.
Turning that whole idea on its
head is Strowan’s Amy Straker,
Burwood’s Melanie Luckman
and Sumner’s Hannah Wheeler
and.
The trio will perform their
show Up And Away, designed
especially for pre-walking
babies, in New Brighton and
Phillipstown.
The show will be staged
through the newly-launched
Cubbin Theatre Company.
The company aims to develop
genuine theatre for children
under the age of five.
Each performance will last
about 30-40min with an opportunity
for families to stay and
play at the end.
The show will also take place
in a carefully crafted tent.
“Our vision is of a world where
high-quality art is as integral to
early childhood as the
playground, and as accessible,”
Luckman said.
She said it has been great
working with the city council’s
enliven places project fund for
this tour.
Luckman said with the funding’s
help it can offer the show
for $5 for a baby and adult
together.
The show is informed by
neuroscientific research and has
been developed in consultation
with a speech and a language
therapist through a series of
rehearsal workshops with babies.
Wheeler was working at LATT
Children’s Theatre and living in
South Korea when she saw her
first baby theatre performance.

Rangi’s sporting success
• By Ashleigh Monk
RANGI RURU Girls’ School
has had a stellar week in sports,
with successes in water polo and
tennis.
Rangi Ruru’s junior water polo
team won the South Island Junior
Secondary School Water Polo
Championships.
Rangi Ruru assistant director
of sport Mandy Anderson said
the team had an “incredible”
game.
“An outstanding effort by the
team culminated in winning
the final against St Margaret’s,
11-9. A huge shout-out to our
wonderful coach, Jackson Olds,
for his dedication to and belief in
the girls,” she said.
“The team has trained exceptionally
hard all term; training in
the rain and in the early morning.
They deserve the success
their efforts have produced.”
Ms Anderson added a special
mention to year 9 student Agatha
Weston for selection in the south
island tournament team.
She also congratulated year 10
student Eve Weston for her selection
as the most valuable player of
the tournament.
Out of the pool and onto the
court, Rangi Ruru student Tessa
McCann has retained her title as
the Canterbury Open Women’s
Champion.
The year 12 student competed
for the title last week.
The final was a tight three set
match which saw the 16-year-old
win 7-5 in the third set, and hold
on to her title as the Canterbury
Open Women’s Champion for the
second year in a row.
Rangi Ruru tennis convenor
Anne Bissland said both Tessa
and Year 10 Jade Feneon, who
also competed, did exceptionally
well against strong competition.
“We have to remember that
these students are playing an
open section, against much older
competitors,” she said.
“Both girls are playing very
well, at a high level. We are proud
of both girls who put absolutely
everything into their tennis,” said
Ms Bissland.
CREATIVE: Citycare property supervisor Doug Peek is
always on the look-out for items that can be recycled for the
sensory garden at Rawhiti Domain.
Playground gets
new equipment
OBSOLETE equipment from
throughout the city is getting a
new lease of life in the children’s
playground at Rawhiti Doman.
The sensory playground is
designed to give all children,
especially those with special
needs, the opportunity to
explore senses.
The playground was the
brainchild of SmileDial New
Zealand founder Kelly Dugan.
Mr Dugan, who has a sevenyear-old
daughter with cerebral
palsy, came up with the idea.
Some of the large plastic
traffic sheep that used to feature
on inner city pavements have
been put out to pasture in the
sensory garden along with one
of the New Brighton tiny huts.
An avid supporter of the
playground is Citycare property
supervisor Doug Peek, who
is always on the lookout for
items that can be recycled at the
playground rather than sent to
landfill.
When it was time to decide
if the hut should stay or be
dismantled, Mr Peek suggested
it be added to the garden.
“I always keep SmileDial and
the kids in the back of my mind
when out on the job . . . we are
essentially turning trash into
treasure,” Mr Peek said.
SmileDial receives no
Government funding, only
community support.
“Without the backing of
organisations like Citycare
we simply wouldn’t exist,” Mr
Dugan said.

Shops bursting with
festive gift ideas
The countdown to the big day is well underway, so making up the
Christmas gift list will now be a top priority… if you haven’t already done so.
Finding those special gifts and stocking fillers as
well as the Christmas treats for the table is so easy at
our city’s malls and shopping centres, where the shops
are bursting with festive merchandise.
Every woman likes to receive body pampering
gifts, and there is a huge selection of these priced
to suit all budgets at the many pharmacies and gift
shops around the city. Perfume is another favourite
and again there is a wide selection to choose from,
ranging from exciting new releases to the well-known
fragrances that have stood the test of time. Lingerie,
jewellery, fashion accessories, homewares and decor
items – there’s no end to the ideas for the women on
the list.
The men are equally well catered for, from the
sophisticated metro-male boyfriends, to the car-crazy
brothers and the DIY enthusiast and keen gardener
husbands and dads. Choose from clothing, books,
tools, personal grooming items and gadgets to put a
smile on their face on Christmas morning.
Speaking of smiles, nothing gives families more joy
than seeing the excitement of the children opening
their presents. Whether they are delivered by Santa
or snuck under the tree by mum and dad, the cuddly
toys, games, dolls and building blocks, the candy
canes, toy trucks and pretty dresses currently filling
the shops will bring squeals of sheer happiness from
the smallest family members.
The tweens and teens usually have their own ideas
about what they want for Christmas, so the gift cards
offered by a wide range of retailers are the perfect way
to please.

Deck the halls
Christmas isn’t Christmas without a decoration or two around the home.
Whether its outdoor lights with a waving Santa or
just draping tinsel across your mantelpiece, there are
many ways to celebrate the festive season in your home.
Go natural
Driftwood painted white with LED lights wrapped
around, or pine cones with a touch of silver spray
paint, make beautiful natural additions to the home
at this time of year. If you have a tree branch around
the home, why not cut it up into discs and spray paint
white stars and reindeer on the disc. Drill a hole in the
top and thread some gardeners string through the hole
and you have an instant decoration to hang on the tree
or somewhere around the home. Cover polystyrene
balls in ripped linen, hessian and cotton strips. These
can either be hung up or a number placed in a bowl on
the table.
Tinsel town
Many love the glitter and sparkle that tinsel brings
but how about using it in different ways. A threetiered
cake plate with tinsel laid on each plate with
baubles then placed on top, can look really impressive
as a centrepiece for the table. Make your own wreath
by wrapping tinsel around and around a polystyrene
circle. Hang just as it is, or hot glue gun baubles on to
create extra wow.
Table setting
Sometimes the simplest decorations on the table
can look the most stunning. A beautiful napkin rolled
up with a piece of red and white ribbon, or rosemary
wreath looks amazing. Why not place a hessian runner
down the middle of the table and add greenery and
candles in jars on top to create a wonderful centrepiece.
If you have a children’s eating table, why not put a
long piece of brown paper as a table cloth. Draw large
circles where the plates can go and write Christmas
questions beside each plate outline. A little bottle with
a red and white paper straw is great too. Put a jar of
red and green crayons on the table. When the kids are
finished their dinner, they can play noughts and crosses
or hangman or just draw pictures.
If you’re looking for ideas why not check out
Pintrest. Here you will find every style and every
technique to make sure your home looks like a
Christmas wonderland this festive season.

HEALTH & AWARENESS
Hip pain: Do I have arthritis or
could it be mainly my muscles?
The team at Physical Sense in Sydenham
sees clients with a range of symptoms but
many of their middle-aged and senior
clients visit complaining of pain in one or
both hips.
Physiotherapist Ietje van Stolk suggests
that a major part of the pain could be due
to muscle pain rather than simply arthritis.
“Even if an x-ray shows arthritis, the reason
for the pain may be the muscles around
the joint,” she explains. Alternatively, a
back muscle could also be the cause, as
shown in the image.
Ietje recalls one case where an 89 year
old client with severe arthritis who walked
with a stick, told her, “I will end up in
a wheelchair, I cannot put any weight
through my right leg due to pain in my hip
and buttock”. “Within 4 treatments, she
was walking with her stick but without the
severe pain,” says Ietje. “The arthritis was
one of the factors that made her muscles
spasm but the other was that older people
move less and the flexed position the hip
is in when we sit is particularly bad for
the hip.” Ietje is happy with the fact that
although the client was 89 and could have
been “given up on” or told to live with the
pain, she made a difference to her health
Hip muscle that causes hip pain
(the crosses are the areas of the muscle spasms, the red areas is where the pain is felt)
and wellbeing.
At Physical Sense, hands-on techniques
(massage and triggerpoint deactivation
techniques) are used to release the muscles.
The client also gets a home exercise
program designed to mobilize and stretch
the hip, strengthen the important core
muscles and increase general strength and
balance. They teach a movement sequence
that stretches the hip in all directions
whilst the client is able to lie safely on their
bed, perfect for older or less mobile clients.
In many cases having the muscles
released and being taught how to maintain
it, is enough to stay on top of the problem.
If severe arthritis is the underlying cause,
some maintenance therapy may be
necessary, but that is often more affordable
and, for older patients, better tolerated than
surgery. In very few treatments the client
Back hip muscle that causes hip pain
will know if it is going to work for them or
not, without financial commitment.

at 300 Colombo Street, Sydenham.

and there is ample parking. To enquire
about specialised exercise classes or
physiotherapy treatment, phone 377-2577

ACCESSIBILITY: Aaron Campbell wants to make the city more accessible for
people with a disability.
Community board
criticised for
not supporting
disability legislation
KIDSTUFF
Play, laugh, learn. These are the essential
ingredients for a successful Pre-School
education. These crucial early years are to be
nurtured, shaped and cherished as your child
takes their first steps in education.
Research states that play may be the single
most important things that humans do. “Our
play based learning approach supports your
child as they begin their exciting journey as a
lifelong learner” says Principal Scott Thelning.
Cathedral Grammar Pre-School teaches the
children of tomorrow, today.
At Cathedral Grammar Pre-School your
whole family is welcomed into the wider
embrace of the Grammar community
including whole school fun and functions,
services and support as well as smooth
transition to the Junior School and links to the
NOR’WEST NEWS
Cathedral Grammar
Pre-School located within
the heart of the city
Prep School.
In Cathedral Grammar’s purpose built
Pre-School, taught by qualified teachers, your
child will discover by curiosity, investigation
and exploration. Our low child/teacher ratios,
ensure your child’s quality individual and
group learning.
Every advantage is taken of our central
city location to extend our ‘campus’ from the
Botanic Gardens to the Canterbury Museum,
The Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o
Waiwhetu to the Christchurch Transitional
Cathedral, from Tūranga (Christchurch
central library) to the emergency services.
Being an inner city Pre-School also gives
you a wonderfully easy opportunity to engage
in your child’s learning if you are working in
the CBD.
Your child will develop essential
foundations in literacy and numeracy. He
or she will enjoy the benefits of specialised
facilities, subjects and staff including Art,
Physical Education, Yoga and Chapel.
When children feel good about themselves
and their abilities, they are able to take flight
and explore, discover, take risks and play,
laugh and learn effectively and successfully.
“Self-esteem is at the core of this development
process” Thelning says.
Every day is an open day at Cathedral

Fendalton-Waimairi-
Harewood Community
Board member Aaron
Campbell talks about
the need to improve
accessibility for
disabled people in the
city
LAST WEEK I asked the Fendalton-
Waimairi-Harewood Community Board
to request the city council supports in
principle new Government disability
legislation that makes access equitable for
all persons.
Your community board voted two in
favour. Seven, shamefully, were against the
motion.
Disability comes in many forms. It’s not
just physical; it’s sensory, cognitive, communicative
and mental health-related.
Community advocates, including the
Access Alliance, a group of 12 organisations
in the disability sector, overwhelmingly
support the principle to create a truly
accessible society that benefits everyone.
Members include the Blind Foundation,
CCS Disability Action, Cerebral Palsy
Society and Deaf Aotearoa.
New Zealand needs accessibility legislation
to implement, in various sectors,
minimum standards for access to everyday
things others take for granted, like transport,
public services, websites, buildings,
workplaces and events.
This is about universal human rights and
the core principles of the United Nations
Convention on the Rights of People with
Disabilities.
Led by MPs Poto Williams (Christchurch
East, Labour) and Shane Reti
(Whangarei, National), this initiative is
achieving cross party support in central
government.
It’s argued that businesses can’t afford to
comply. Advocates would argue how can
you afford not to?
One billion people in the world have
some form of disability, don’t you want to
increase your potential market?
When I’m older and less able, I’ll still
want to get around, eat out and do things.
We should all have that opportunity for
long term independence.
The NZ Institute of Economic Research
calculates accessibility legislation will save
$3 billion over 10 years in disability benefit
costs through better education and employment
outcomes, increasing productivity
by $862m and increasing tax revenues
by $387m per year.
This would annually increase GDP by
$1.45 billion.
New tourist markets will become available
and revenue will increase with higher
spending per visitor.
As our city is rebuilding, do we want to
grow our economy, improve the quality of
people’s lives and provide equal access for
all?
Last week, sadly, a selfish short-sighted
two to seven vote said no.
Start
it!
Pre-School
Here, it all begins
Located in the CBD and offering 20
hours ECE. Our Pre-School balances
play with stimulating young minds,
all while fostering values and instilling
good habits. Specialist art, music
and PE teachers take weekly lessons,
nurturing and extending children’s
early talents.

Children eat
what they sow
At Kimihia we are very lucky to have
space for vege gardens. Our tamariki are
involved in all aspects of the growing
of vegetables and fruit. Whilst our
strawberries are usually picked and
eaten fresh, most of the vegetables we
grow are used in the meals our Centre
provides. Over the growing season our
garden produced pumpkins, zucchini,
beetroot, tomatoes, beans, basil,
coriander, silverbeet, peas, broccoli,
cabbage, cauliflower and lettuce. Giant
sunflowers, nasturtiums and calendulas
provided plenty of colour in the garden.
Our children delighted in being able to
harvest the vegetables thay had grown
and take them to our food preparers. We
have also saved seeds from some of last
year’s veges to plant in the new season’s
garden.
The garden offers so many
opportunities for learning; not only the
connection between garden and plate,
but also how to care for living things,
how to work together and how to live
sustainably and care for the earth.

New research on Gingko
Biloba excites researchers!
For decades scientists believed brain
damage with age, after a stroke or injury
was irreversible and brain neurons could
not be repaired. In more recent times,
new research has shown that neurons
can grow back with the right conditions
and that a special extract of Gingko
Biloba (EGb-761 or TEBONIN) has
been clinically found to assist in this.
The implications for stroke recovery are
obvious, but researchers also know many
of us suffer from undetected “microstrokes”
that over a period of time slowly
reduce our cognitive function. TEBONIN
is prescribed worldwide as a natural
supportive agent for a healthy brain and
cognitive function. It supports healthy
mental performance, concentration, focus,
alertness, motor function and to help
with many conditions including tinnitus
(ringing and noise in the ears), vertigo
and normal balance. TEBONIN improves
micro-circulation and helps the blood
flow reach those critical places it needs to
get. It is a potent anti-oxidant and makes
the red blood cells more pliable and
capillary walls more flexible.
TEBONIN is one of the most widely
studied and researched herbal products in
the world and is the only Ginkgo biloba
extract manufactured via a patented
multi-step extraction process. Each small
tablet contains a highly concentrated
BOOST BRAIN
PERFORMANCE UP TO 30%
TEBONIN is the No 1 Ginkgo Biloba extract in the World with more than 8 million tablets
being consumed every day. It is also the most researched herbal extract with more than 60
controlled clinical studies & over 400 scientific studies. It has been shown to have excellent
efficacy, safety & tolerability. Millions of consumers have trusted TEBONIN for over 30
years to support blood flow, capillary health, brain health & performance.
Studies on TEBONIN Show:
- Improved Brain Performance & Function up to 30%. This includes improvement
in mental sharpness, focus, attention, concentration, understanding, memory & recall.
- Reduces errors made & mental stress.
- The only Ginkgo shown to increase activity in all areas of the brain. Can help restore
brain function after a brain injury such as from a stroke.
- Helps relieve tinnitus (ringing & noise in the ears), vertigo, dizziness & supports normal
balance.
- Improves blood flow to all areas of the body.
- Reduces plaque formation in the blood vessels.
- Protective effect against eyes damage caused by light.
50:1 extract to give you a therapeutic
clinical dose without having to take a large
amount of the herb. Of 25 Gingko biloba
products on the market, and tested by a
major medical journal, only TEBONIN
passed all five of the test requirements.
Ten brands didn’t meet any requirements
and the rest didn’t pass more than three
out of five requirements. TEBONIN is
the only Gingko biloba extract shown
to activated all areas of the brain and is
considered the gold standard in Gingko.
TEBONIN has been trusted by millions
of consumers worldwide for over 30
years with more than 8,000,000 tablets
consumed each day.

REAL ESTATE
A pleasant surprise - “As Is, Where Is”
214B Mt Pleasant Rd, Mt Pleasant
Auction: From 12pm, Thursday 13 December, Harcourts Grenadier, 98 Moorhouse Ave – unless sold prior
4 bedrooms | 3 bathrooms | 4 toilets | 2 living rooms | 1 dining room | 3 car-garage | 2 off-street parks | Listing Number: SM0133
Serving as an immaculate example of an as
is, where is property, this partially repaired
four-bedroom home enjoys exceptional
north-facing views over the sea and coastline
offering the ultimate hillside lifestyle.
With remediation three-quarters complete,
the vendors have now exceeded their cap and
don’t wish to proceed any further with the
remaining repairs, and therefore, they offer
this superbly presented home to a new buyer
who can live incredibly comfortably while
they finish the last of the work required in
their own time.
The property’s cladding has been repaired
and a new kitchen installed. The kitchen
exudes modern style with its granite
benchtops and breakfast bar, all benefiting
from an elevated outlook over the sea that
stretches across to Ferrymead.
The multi-level living layout includes a
breath-taking lounge on the central portion of
the first floor which features a double height
ceiling that contributes a sense of grandeur to
the space. From there, a small set of steps lead
you up to the kitchen and open plan dining
and living area where you can admire the
unobstructed views beyond. Lots of balconies
and decks provide outdoor flow and there is
some good flat lawn for children to play.
Four good sized bedrooms are serviced by
three bathrooms and a powder room, with the
master bedroom having a walk-in wardrobe
and an ensuite with a spa bath. One bedroom
has a kitchenette and could be used to hosts
guest or run Airbnb. There’s great level drive
on access with turning and internal access
triple car garaging which are further enticing
features of the property.
Located within easy reach of the various
coastal suburbs that lead you around to
Sumner Beach, this property also enjoys a
relatively straight-forward commute into the
city centre which will take you less than 20
minutes by car. Zoned and within walking
distance to Mt Pleasant School (decile 10).
Being sold on an as is, where is basis, this
property offers comfort and presents buyers
with the opportunity to complete the home
to their taste. Possibly the best we have
marketed!
Open Homes: Wednesday, Saturday &
Sunday 3:15pm - 4:00pm.
See you at the open homes or for a private
viewing or for more information contact

WORKSAFE NEW Zealand
has b en a proached in a bid to
fina ly repair the potholes in New
Brighton’s Hawke St car park.
Coastal-Burw od Ward city
counci lor David East wants
WorkSafe to pre sure the car
park’s private owners into
repairing the potholes which are
a “trip and vehicle” hazard.
WorkSafe chief inspector
a se sment southern Da ren
Handforth said it may be able to
take action under the Health and
Safety at Work Act 2015, “as a
person conducting a busine s or
undertaking.”
Mr Handforth said WorkSafe
is aware of the concerns raised by
Cr East abou the car park.
“WorkSafe has completed
an a se sment visi to the site
and is engaging with the owner
to advise them that it is their
responsibility to manage their
risks a propriately.”
Different parts of the car park
are owned by various people
and the Coastal-Burw od
Community Board recently
wrote to them about its concerns
around health and safety.
Cr East said the bi gest i sue
in the past has b en ge ting in
touch with the landlords and
owners and ge ting them to
agr e to anything. “The board
a preciates that multi-ownership
of the parking space may present
a difficulty in co-ordinating
repair/resurfacing but felt obliged
to pa s these concerns onto you,”
said the le ter.
One reply has b en received so
far from an owner who is wi ling
to discu s the i sue. However, a l
the owners would have to agr e
to undertake work.
Cr East said there had b en
a “number of incidences” in
the car park of people injuring
themselves which had gone
unreported.
“I’ve always though that it
has b en quite amazing that we
haven’t had any serious a cidents
or senior citizens perhaps
tri ping in those potholes and
doing themselve some damage.”
He is confiden the new
a proach wi l bring results.
“I think the WorkSafe
involvement may prove to be the
lever that we are l oking for.”

THE PAPANUI-I nes
Community Board has taken the
rare step of starting a petition
to figh the city council over
funding.
Signatures are being co lected
in a bid to get funding for a community
facility in Shirley.
It comes after the city council
removed funding for the centre
pla ned for Shirley Rd, near the
intersection with Hi ls Rd. This
was the site of the former community
centre, which was badly
damaged in the February 2,
20 1, earthquake.
The removal o funding
prompted community board
chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten
to stan down, citing it as her “die
in the ditch” project.
Ms Jone said the board’s role
is to represen the community,
and by gathering signatures from
residents, it was fulfi ling that
role.
“One of the roles of a community
board is to represent and act
as advocate for the interests of its
community and this is what we
are doing. The LTP and a nual
plans are a l about lo bying the

Cave Rock
Apartments’
owners
expect EQC
sign-off
this week
• By Sarla Donovan
THE OWNERS of Sumner’s Cave
Rock Apartments ar expecting the
Earthquake Commi sion to sign-off
on a se tlement agr emen this w ek.
Body corporate chairman Mike
White said the group had gone
into mediation with IAG and EQC
on February 20, and signed off
on a deal with IAG on February
2 – coincidenta ly seven years
to the day after the February 2,
20 1, earthquake. However, they
are waiting for EQC to sign the
agr ement.
“Given that EQC actua ly drafted
the agr ement, there’ l be no
problem with them doing that.”
The apartment suffere damage
in the February and June, 20 1,
earthquakes and were demolished in
late 2012. In 2016, IAG’s offer of the
difference betw en indemnity value,
$10 mi lion, and the sum insured,
$16 mi lion, was rejected by the body
corporate.
The mediation agr ement
prevented Mr White from disclosing
the se tlement amount, but he said it
involved the two parties paying “a bit
more money than they’d wanted to
earlier.”

A WOOLSTON butcher proved
to be a cut above the rest in an
international competition.
New World Fe ry Rd butcher
Jeremy Garth and his team, the
Pure South Sharp Blacks, recently
came second a the World
Butchers’ Cha lenge in Northern
Ireland.
It was the firs time Mr Garth
had competed in the cha lenge
and he was “rea ly proud” of
how the team performed.
“We produced some top quality
products and came away
with a g od result so we’re very
ha py,” he said.
The preparation for this year’s
World Butchers’ Cha lenge was
intense as the team members
met in Auckland every two
months for lengthy w ekend
practices.
Mr Garth, who has b en a
butcher for 14 years, said the
competition brought back his
pa sion for the job.
“Doing a l thi stuff and
m eting new people, s eing new
ideas, it just brings that flair
back for you,” he said.
Mr Garth hopes t own a
butcher shop of his own someday
but says for now he wi l focus
on ge ting mor experience
and on the 2020 cha lenge.
“In two years’ time, we’ l be
going back to try and win the
title,” he said.

A CRACKDOWN on mobile
traders acro s the districts could
be l oming.
However, the public has li tle
interest in having input into the
i sue.
Only eight submi sions were
received for a potential bylaw
aimed at regulating commercial
activities in public places.
The district council wi l be
holding a hearing for the Public
Places Bylaw and Policy on Commercial
Activities and Events in
Public Places.
A hearing i scheduled to be
held on Thursday.
The bylaw comes as an increasing
number of mobile traders
are s eking t operate in Selwyn,
especia ly during the summer
months.
In the past year, the district
council has received five inquiries
about se ting up a mobile busine s
on private or public land.
A report said there are two
str et operators in Darfield, a
coff e cart is parked beside the
railway in Ro leston, and a pi za
cart visits Lincoln w ekly betw en
September-May along with a Thai
f od truck.

Pupils learn about role of war horses
GR ENDALE SCHOOL pupils
have taken a step back in time,
s eing first hand what men and
horses l oked like during war.
The New Zealand Mounted
Rifles Charitable Trust president
Mark A pleton and member
Mike Donaldson t ok their
horses to the sch ol on Monday,
in a bid to educate pupils on the
sacrifice their ancestors made in
World War 1 and World War 2.
Mr A pleton and Mr Donaldson
a rived a the sch ol dre sed
in World War 1 uniforms while
their horses Tommy and Kruze
wore 1 0-year-old sa dles donated
to the trust.
The presentation is a prelude
to the Gr endale Recreation Reserve
Management Commi t e’s
upcoming Anzac Day service.
As a tribute to those who
served, members of the trust wi l
ride horseback to the service.
Mr A pleton said it was
important children were
educated on what soldiers
wen through during World
War 1 and World War 2.
But he said the presentation
didn’t go into t o much detail
and was more of a “show and
te l” to make them aware of what
the soldiers l oked like.
Children were shown the type
of kits horses were required to
wear in the war.

AN U PER Ri carton butcher
has proven himself to be a cut
above his Au sie rivals at an
international competition.
Elite Meats owner Corey
Winder was named in the a l
star team a the World Butchers’
Cha lenge in Northern Ireland.
Mr Winder and his team, the
Pure South Sharp Blacks, which
includes W olston butcher
Jeremy Garth, finished second
in the competition.
He said the cha lenge started
as a “transtasman test match”
seven years ago.
The preparation for this
year’s World Butchers’ Challenge
was intense as the team
members met in Auckland
every two months for lengthy
w ekend practices. Mr Winder
said coming second against 1
other countries was a “fantastic”
result.
“To get second behind Ireland
was a huge achievement and to
be ahead of Australia is an
even bi ger thing for us,” he
said.
But Mr Winder admires the
Australian team.
“Those guys over there
[Australia] are on top of their
game, they do a g od job,” he
said.
“And it just showcases that
New Zealand has got some
of the best butchers in the
world,” he said.
Mr Winder has b en a butcher
since the age of 19.

THE HALSWE L-Hornby-
Ri carton Community Board
has b en given the gr en ligh to
o pose the pla ned qua ry near
Templeton.
Mayor Lia ne Dalziel told the
board on Thursday it had the okay
from the city council to make a
submi sion if Fulton Hogan a plies
for a resource consen to create a
qua ry.
Board chairman Mike Mora
told Western News the submi sion
would likely o pose Fulton Hogan’s
plan.
“You can just about guarant e
it . because we [the community
board] don’t believe qua ries
should be so close to residential
areas,” he said.
Mr Mora said he wasn’t sure if
the city council would endorse the
board’ submi sion.
“I’d like to think so because the
city council has had their eyes
open as we l ove recent years over
the crysta line silica risk,” he said.
Mr Mora said the community
board wi l be “representing and
advocating” for the Templeton
community.
