JACK Harris-Clarke’s family<br />
has been saving money all year<br />
to buy him a BMX bike.<br />
It has been a tough ask for<br />
the Hornby family.<br />
But now their dream has<br />
come true, thanks to the<br />
Mazda Foundation, which has<br />
stepped in with a $2500 grant.<br />

Funding gets Jack on BMX track<br />
The 10-year-old from<br />
Hornby is autistic with limited<br />
speech and has sensory issues,<br />
which makes him only like<br />
fatty food.<br />
To combat his weight,<br />
mother Kate Harris-Clarke has<br />
tried to get him into various<br />
sports, without much success.<br />
But Jack finally found a sport<br />
to play last year, when he went<br />
riding at the Kyle Park BMX<br />
track in Hornby with his nineyear-old<br />
brother Dean.<br />
But proper equipment was<br />
expensive.<br />
After trying various<br />
organisations, the family<br />
received good news last month<br />
when they were granted the<br />
money.<br />
“It was incredible, I stood<br />
there and bawled my eyes out,”<br />
Mrs Harris-Clarke said.<br />
Until last month, Jack rode a<br />
cheap bike.<br />
But with the grant from the<br />
Mazda Foundation, the family<br />
has enough savings (originally<br />
intended for Jack) to buy new<br />
equipment for his younger<br />
brother too.<br />

Backlash<br />
over<br />
Riccarton<br />
Rd trees<br />
due to lack<br />
of options<br />
• By Anan Zaki<br />
A LACK of options during<br />
consultation has been blamed for<br />
the backlash over putting trees<br />
down the middle of Riccarton Rd.<br />
That’s the view of Riccarton<br />
Bush and Kilmarnock Residents’<br />
Association secretary Bob<br />
Broughton.<br />
Earlier this month, <strong>Western</strong><br />
<strong>News</strong> reported that central<br />
Riccarton residents were against<br />
the idea of a median with 27<br />
columnar hornbeam trees on<br />
Riccarton Rd between Clarence<br />
and Matipo Sts.<br />
Readers rejected the idea in more<br />
than 70 responses to the article in<br />
<strong>Western</strong> <strong>News</strong>.<br />
Mr Broughton said when the city<br />
council consulted with residents<br />
over the changes to Riccarton Rd<br />
in 2015, it didn’t give an option<br />
for a median that was not lined<br />
with trees. Residents were given<br />
two options: Option A with a treelined<br />
median to “strengthen the<br />
character” of the busy Riccarton<br />
Rd shopping area between<br />
Clarence and Matipo Sts, which<br />
was selected.<br />

MARC DUFF sums up the long running<br />
Hornby mega centre saga on page 3<br />
today: “We can start going forward now<br />
and get the facility built for the benefit of<br />
everyone,”<br />
He’s referring to the decision to go with Kyle Park as the site,<br />
after Denton Park failed to get over the line.<br />
The western suburbs needs the big recreation facility, which<br />
will include a library. Not only for the activities it will provide<br />
but for the jobs it will create.<br />
Many will work on its construction and when it’s finished<br />
people will be needed to staff it.<br />
That means wages, and when people earn wages they spend,<br />
which in turns allows for businesses to hire more people.<br />
And hopefully, most of it stays local.<br />

Kyle Park decision applauded<br />
• By Anan Zaki<br />
APPLAUSE ERUPTED in<br />
the city council chambers on<br />
Thursday as Kyle Park was<br />
approved as the new site for the<br />
planned Hornby mega centre.<br />
Greater Hornby Residents’<br />
Association chairman Marc<br />
Duff welcomed<br />
the decision.<br />
“We can start<br />
going forward<br />
now and get the<br />
facility built for<br />
the benefit of<br />
everyone,” he<br />
Marc Duff<br />
Raf Manji<br />
said.<br />
Supporters of<br />
the Hornby mega<br />
centre, which will<br />
include a library,<br />
recreation<br />
area, pool and<br />
customer service<br />
facility, were<br />
present at the<br />
meeting. They<br />
were hoping to<br />
see an end to the long-running<br />
saga.<br />
“It feels like you can smell the<br />
facility coming. I think it’s an<br />
opportunity for the youth of<br />
Hornby to have a facility that<br />
generations before them didn’t<br />
have,” Mr Duff said.<br />
SUPPORT: Backers of the Hornby mega centre hold up signs in support of the facility.<br />
Save Denton Park chairman<br />
Mark Peters said he can now<br />
“see the light at the end of the<br />
tunnel.”<br />
“I think it was an exciting<br />
day for Hornby. Even though,<br />
personally, I find it a little bit<br />
disappointing that they rushed<br />
it through,” he said.<br />
“So long as down the track,<br />
they [city council] don’t find out<br />
that the contamination is worse<br />
than they thought . . . this is a<br />
great thing,” Mr Peters said.<br />
Three city councillors –<br />
Pauline Cotter, Aaron Keown<br />
and Raf Manji – abstained from<br />
the vote, and the remaining 13<br />
voted for Kyle Park.<br />
Cr Manji wanted to peer<br />
review the report on Kyle Park<br />
by Tonkin and Taylor.<br />
“An unconfined landfill is<br />
sitting there with some pretty<br />
hazardous material,” Cr Manji<br />
said.<br />
Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton<br />
Community Board deputy<br />
chairwoman Helen Broughton<br />
agreed with Cr Manji.<br />
“There was no need for<br />
this rush, because it is going<br />
to be a year before they can<br />
get consents in place and a<br />
year before finalising what’s<br />
happening with the gases [in<br />
the landfill],” Ms Broughton<br />
said.<br />
Mr Duff was happy most<br />
councillors accepted Kyle<br />
Park as the mega centre’s new<br />
location. “I think if you listened<br />
to all councillors in that room,<br />
there was a general feeling that<br />
the expert opinion was all there,<br />
it was just time to get on and do<br />
it for the people of Hornby,” he<br />
said. •Soap Box. page 13<br />

Youth welfare a concern in Hornby<br />
• By Anan Zaki<br />
PEOPLE LIVING in Hornby<br />
are worried about their youth,<br />
drug and alcohol abuse, a recent<br />
Salvation Army study has<br />
revealed.<br />
The social agency surveyed<br />
100 people from Hornby earlier<br />
this year as part of a national<br />
study titled The State of Our<br />
Communities 20<strong>18</strong> – released last<br />
Wednesday.<br />
The report said<br />
that Hornby residents<br />
believed<br />
young people are<br />
“disengaged and<br />
getting caught<br />
Ronji Tanielu<br />
up in petty<br />
crime and other<br />
antisocial activities.”<br />
Residents also said that there<br />
was a “strong sense of community”<br />
in Hornby and liked the<br />
location and affordability of the<br />
suburb.<br />
Hornby High School principal<br />
Robin Sutton believed feelings<br />
about disengaged youth was an<br />
“interesting perception” but it<br />
was not always the case.<br />
“From my observational<br />
experience – and there’s no data<br />
behind this – is that it’s not true<br />
for the vast majority of youth,”<br />
Mr Sutton said.<br />
DISENGAGED: A Salvation Army study on the state of our communities showed that people of<br />
Hornby are worried about their youth.<br />
“As with any other community,<br />
there are pockets of disengaged<br />
youth . . . if you were able to identify<br />
them, you would probably<br />
find a strong correlation between<br />
the levels of disengagement and<br />
disaffection on one hand and<br />
pockets of really deep poverty on<br />
the other.”<br />
But Mr Sutton said that his<br />
view was based on his personal<br />
observation and not studies.<br />
“If I go a little bit further, I<br />
think for example, the Kyle Park<br />
pool and library complex is going<br />
to have a massive impact on that,<br />
purely because of its location [in<br />
Hornby].”<br />
The author of the report,<br />
Salvation Army lawyer and<br />
policy adviser Ronji Tanielu, told<br />
<strong>Western</strong> <strong>News</strong> that Hornby was a<br />
“fascinating” place to study.<br />
“Hornby, especially the Hei Hei<br />
side, has had a reputation as a<br />
working class suburb and [there<br />
was] a lot of talk about how that<br />
has changed a lot,” Mr Tanielu<br />
said.<br />
Change since the 2010 and<br />
2011 Canterbury earthquakes<br />
was a big topic of discussion in<br />
the report.<br />
“It’s going through rapid<br />
change, probably more so than<br />
any other community we covered<br />
in this project.”<br />
“There definitely needs to be<br />
better infrastructure because<br />
even visually, you’re going<br />
through the community from<br />
heavy industrial areas straight<br />
into suburban communities,” Mr<br />
Tanielu said.<br />
Respondents also highlighted<br />
that the rest of the city has a<br />
better image of Hornby since<br />
the 2010 and 2011 Canterbury<br />
earthquakes.<br />
Traffic and congestion was<br />
another concern, which made<br />
travelling around Hornby “harrowing”,<br />
the report said.<br />
Hornby residents blamed<br />
population growth without<br />
proper planning for the traffic<br />
and social issues.<br />
When Hornby residents were<br />
asked what they would say to the<br />
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern<br />
if they could talk to her, residents<br />
spoke about pride in their rapidly<br />
growing suburb.<br />

Salvation Army last Wednesday.<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
Joan Hamilton,<br />
housewife<br />
I’ve been living here 13<br />
years and haven’t seen<br />
anything like that [social<br />
issues]. We never see<br />
anyone being horrible to<br />
anyone.<br />
The coffee shops are<br />
good, everyone says<br />
hello to everyone. When<br />
we walk on the streets<br />
we’ve got no problems in<br />
fearing anyone robbing<br />
us or anything like that.<br />
Ron Tinney, retired<br />
I don’t know if the<br />
kids are getting the<br />
right message.<br />
When I was in<br />
school, if you stepped<br />
out of line you got<br />
caned. Look at these<br />
kids now going to<br />
court, and you get<br />
somebody telling<br />
them ‘oh you poor<br />
thing, you didn’t know<br />
that you did wrong’.<br />
Before when you<br />
did wrong, you got<br />
punished. And I think<br />
that’s half the trouble.<br />
All these kids think you<br />
can do things and get<br />
away with it.<br />
Courtney Williams,<br />
student<br />
Some young people<br />
feel free to go out<br />
drinking and do drugs.<br />
I think it’s because of<br />
a lack of motivation to<br />
work.<br />
People have too much<br />
access to things that<br />
they shouldn’t have.<br />
Then people don’t have<br />
access to things they<br />
should have. There’s not<br />
enough access to jobs.<br />
Joe Misselbrook,<br />
unemployed<br />
I think it is accurate<br />
[about youth issues].<br />
I’m actually quite<br />
concerned about<br />
youths going into the<br />
future.<br />
I’m concerned about<br />
the environment that<br />
they are growing up<br />
in such as getting into<br />
trouble that sort of<br />
thing.<br />
There’s probably<br />
not [enough support<br />
measures]. There needs<br />
to be more activities<br />
[for youths], more<br />
counselling that they<br />
have now.<br />
Manav Bagal,<br />
student<br />
I personally haven’t<br />
felt much of that [social<br />
issues]. As a university<br />
student I don’t really<br />
interact with many<br />
other youths that aren’t<br />
university students.<br />
I would say Hornby<br />
has a bad reputation<br />
to some extent, but it’s<br />
more so on the eastern<br />
side of Christchurch.<br />
I’m from Dunedin,<br />
so, if anything, I feel<br />
Hornby is more<br />
family-orientated, less<br />
student-driven and less<br />
unsavoury.<br />
Troy Gillan, student<br />
I’d say it’s the same<br />
issue as everywhere, I’d<br />
say slightly more so than<br />
other areas. Hornby’s had<br />
a reputation as a dodgy<br />
part of town but it’s better<br />
now.<br />
Historically, and even<br />
now it’s been seen as<br />
a low socio-economic<br />
area. So youth issues<br />
could be attached to<br />
that. But I wouldn’t say<br />
it’s a particular Hornby<br />
problem.<br />
This part of town has<br />
got a lot more people<br />
recently so maybe the<br />
[city council] hasn’t made<br />
up for that.

The cemetery is home to an<br />
interment site opened on the<br />
first anniversary of the quake.<br />
Fifty-eight victims are<br />
memorialised at Avonhead Park<br />
Cemetery, the city council said.<br />
The group has been<br />
campaigning to change the<br />
CHANGE: Friends of Avonhead Cemetery chairman Clive Paris<br />
is campaigning to add the word ‘memorial’ to the cemetery’s<br />
name.<br />
name to reflect the interment<br />
site’s significance for <strong>18</strong> months.<br />
“It’s a step forward, sanity<br />
prevails, and it’s also the<br />
wishes of families of the<br />
deceased who are buried there<br />
from the [February 22], 2011,<br />
earthquake,” he said.<br />
“We’ve got a $300,000<br />
[interment] there, and referred to<br />
as a memorial by former Mayor<br />
Bob Parker,” Mr Paris said.<br />
Friends of Avonhead<br />
Cemetery will continue to urge<br />
city councillors to change the<br />
name.<br />
“I think they [city councillors]<br />
should listen to the people rather<br />
than some ideology steeped in<br />
history that the name should be<br />
retained.”<br />
Community board chairman<br />
Sam MacDonald said the board<br />
was against the recommendation<br />
from city council staff, which<br />
was to keep the existing name.<br />
“Community boards are there<br />
to represent the community. This<br />
council is commonly criticised for<br />
not being prepared to listen to the<br />
community,” Mr MacDonald said.<br />
He expects the city council<br />
to consider the board’s<br />
recommendation in February.<br />
If that recommendation is<br />
accepted, the city council will<br />
start public consultation to<br />
change the name.<br />
Board member Aaron<br />
Campbell disagreed with<br />
Friends of Avonhead Cemetery<br />
on the “sensitive” subject<br />
of changing the name. Mr<br />
Campbell was<br />
the only board<br />
member to vote<br />
against changing<br />
the name.<br />
“Particularly<br />
around the<br />
Avonhead<br />
Park cemetery,<br />
any changes<br />
that have been<br />
made have been<br />
Aaron<br />
Campbell<br />
extremely contentious,” he said.<br />
Mr Campbell also<br />
questioned why the Friends<br />
of Avonhead Cemetery didn’t<br />
submit on the name change in<br />
the Cemeteries Bylaw review<br />
earlier this year. But Mr Paris<br />
said his group did not need<br />
to submit in the bylaw review<br />
because the community board<br />
has been aware of this issue for<br />
<strong>18</strong> months.<br />

Lack of options<br />
over Riccarton<br />
Rd trees<br />
•From page 1<br />
Option B was for trees on<br />
a widened footpath, with no<br />
mention of a median.<br />
Out of 194 submissions,<br />
98 preferred option A and 96<br />
favoured option B, the city<br />
council said.<br />
Mr Broughton took part in the<br />
consultation and said residents<br />
wanted a median to separate the<br />
traffic, but were against the idea of<br />
trees along the middle of the road.<br />
If there was an option for<br />
a median without trees, Mr<br />
Broughton believes the outcome<br />
of the consultation would have<br />
been different.<br />
Said city council manager<br />
planning and delivery transport<br />
Lynette Ellis: “The trees in<br />
conjunction with the other<br />
streetscape enhancements, such<br />
as new furniture, paving and<br />
landscaping, provide an improved<br />
and renewed sense of place to the<br />
identity of central Riccarton as a<br />
destination rather than solely as a<br />
transport corridor. A median with<br />
no trees would not have provided<br />
the same benefits,” she said.<br />
The upgrade of Riccarton Rd<br />
between Matipo and Harakeke<br />
Sts will start in February. It is<br />
expected to be completed by<br />

•From page 1<br />
Jack’s interest in BMX has stuck<br />
with him all year.<br />
“We took him along [to Kyle<br />
Park] last year with his younger<br />
brother Dean. He would just ride<br />
and ride and ride,” Mrs Harris-<br />
Clarke said.<br />
“Jack would just continue<br />
riding, he was sweating and really<br />
enjoying it.”<br />
It was “thrilling” to see Jack do<br />
what other children were doing,<br />
she said.<br />
“For him to show an interest<br />
in something like BMX not only<br />
ticks the box with improving his<br />
fitness and dropping a few kilos,<br />
but also because he socially and<br />
behaviourally is part of a group,”<br />
Mrs Harris-Clarke said.<br />
She said Jack always rides under<br />
the watchful eyes of his brother<br />
Dean, who looks out for him on<br />
the track.<br />
Dean is happy to see his older<br />
brother with the new BMX bike<br />
and getting active.<br />
“It feels great because we finally<br />
have a sport for Jack. It’s always<br />
been about me so far,” he said.<br />
“It was a little bit of a risk to<br />
start [the BMX season] with Jack’s<br />
old bike so he really needed to get<br />
another one,” Dean said.<br />
Jack is “pretty fast” and “way<br />
better” on his new bike, Dean<br />
said.<br />

A SYMBOL of a former Hornby<br />
school is back home.<br />
The Branston Shield was gifted<br />
to the former Branston Intermediate<br />
School in 1975 by late<br />
Hornby resident Roland Leslie<br />
“Rolly” Troon, who passed away<br />
<strong>18</strong> years ago.<br />
Mr Troon gifted the shield to<br />
the school because his son and<br />
daughter attended it during the<br />
1970s.<br />
The shield became the<br />
school logo and was placed in<br />
the hall.<br />
When Branston Intermediate<br />
closed in 2013, the shield was<br />
moved to the school’s technology<br />
block, which became the<br />
Hornby Technology Centre, part<br />
of Hornby High School.<br />
Hornby Technology Centre<br />
teacher Ron Harwood kept the<br />
Branston Shield in his workshop<br />
after Branston Intermediate<br />
closed.<br />
Mr Harwood has taught wood<br />
technology at the technology<br />
centre and former intermediate<br />
for 38 years.<br />
He hoped to find the right<br />
person to give the shield to, as<br />
the technology centre was in the<br />
process of being demolished this<br />
month.<br />
And the right person was<br />
Roland Troon’s son, Dave Troon.<br />
“My wife works at Our Lady<br />
of Victories School. My wife was<br />
talking to the caretaker there,<br />
he said he went to Branston . . .<br />
and found out his last name was<br />
Troon,” Mr Harwood said.<br />
“When she told me, I said I’ve<br />
got that shield in the store room<br />
and said the Troon family gave it<br />
to Branston.”<br />
Dave Troon was delighted<br />
to see his father’s work back in<br />
family hands.<br />
“It was really, really good<br />
because dad had done a heck of<br />
a lot of stuff for the school,” he<br />
said.<br />
The day the shield was returned<br />
was “surreal” Mr Troon<br />
said.<br />
“When I was handed it in the<br />
woodwork class, the last thing<br />
RETURNED: Hornby<br />
Technology Centre teacher<br />
Ron Harwood, left, hands the<br />
Branston Shield over to Dave<br />
Troon. <br />
that [this year’s] woodwork<br />
class were making were<br />
collapsible stools. And that<br />
was the last thing I made at<br />
Branston.”<br />
“When I walked in the classroom,<br />
everything was still there,<br />
the colours of the benches and<br />
it was actually quite tear-jerky,”<br />
Mr Troon said.<br />
The Branston Shield now<br />
sits proudly on the wall of<br />
Mr Troon’s “man cave” at his<br />
Hornby house.<br />
The demolition of the<br />
technology centre meant<br />
the last physical remnant of<br />
Branston Intermediate was<br />
gone.<br />
Former Branston Intermediate<br />
and technology centre<br />
head of department John<br />
Simons said he had mixed<br />
emotions about the closure.<br />
Mr Simons taught at the<br />
site for 25 years and retired<br />
this year.<br />
The technology centre<br />
was replaced in Hornby<br />
High School’s rebuild this<br />
year.<br />
“We knew when Branston<br />
shut [in 2013] that it was<br />
only a matter of time before<br />
the remnants of the school<br />
would go. We were fortunate<br />
to last five years,” Mr<br />
Simons said.<br />
He says technology at<br />
schools has changed over<br />
the years.<br />
“Technology was a very<br />
important part of the school,<br />
the kids loved it, we did four<br />
disciplines of technology,<br />
design, wood, food and<br />
textile.”<br />
“When I started teaching,<br />
boys did wood technology<br />
and girls did food tech and<br />
textiles but now they are all<br />
mixed,” Mr Simons said.<br />

Pressure on to save water<br />
Awards honour<br />
community<br />
advocates<br />
• By Anan Zaki<br />
HORNBY AND Halswell community<br />
advocates were recognised in the Civic<br />
Awards last week.<br />
Former city councillor Bob Shearing<br />
received a civic award for community<br />
service.<br />
Vietnam War veteran Paul O’Connor<br />
MBE received the award for his community<br />
service for the Anzac Day dawn service.<br />
Mr Shearing said he was “very thankful”<br />
to receive the recognition.<br />
He served on the city council from<br />
2004-2010 and as a Riccarton-Wigram<br />
Community Board member from 1996-<br />
2004. He is also a Hornby Community<br />
Development Trust member.<br />
“This is recognition of people that I try<br />
and support,” he said.<br />
“The Hornby Community Development<br />
Trust is certainly a worthwhile<br />
organisation [I’m involved with]. The<br />
team there do a great job of supporting<br />
the local community,” he said.<br />
Mr Shearing is also on the Riccarton<br />
House and Bush Trust board and is an<br />
advocate for disabled people.<br />
Mr O’Connor said he was “quite<br />
chuffed” with the award.<br />
“I’ve been involved with organising the<br />
Anzac Day service for the about 17 years<br />
and master of ceremony for all of that time.”<br />
Mr O’Connor said his time in the<br />
Vietnam war played a “significant” in his<br />
continued advocation for soldiers.<br />
THE CITY council is taking<br />
a myth-busting approach<br />
to remind residents about<br />
the need to save water this<br />
summer.<br />
It has put out a series of<br />
fact-based articles via its<br />
website and Facebook page in<br />
an effort to correct common<br />
misunderstandings about<br />
water use in Christchurch.<br />
Water supply programme<br />
manager Helen Beaumont says<br />
it’s important people get the<br />
facts so they understand the<br />
importance of saving water<br />
this summer.<br />
“We’ve had a lot people<br />
effectively calling us out for<br />
asking them to save water<br />
when water bottling plants<br />
are taking it out of the ground<br />
every day. But there are two<br />
problems with that. Firstly,<br />
the city council doesn’t<br />
decide who can or can’t take<br />
groundwater, Environment<br />
Canterbury does, while taking<br />
environmental factors into<br />
account. And secondly, the<br />
water taken by water bottling<br />
plants doesn’t actually affect<br />
our public water supply –<br />
they’re separate issues.”<br />
Ms Beaumont says another<br />
common misunderstanding is<br />
around the need to conserve<br />
water this summer.<br />
“It’s not that we’re running<br />
out of water. The problem is<br />
we need to take some water<br />
wells out of service so we<br />
can upgrade them and stop<br />
chlorinating as fast as possible.<br />
If we keep using too much<br />
PRECIOUS: Limit the<br />
time you operate your<br />
garden hose.<br />
water, we have to use more<br />
wells to cope, and then we<br />
can’t work on them. It’s really<br />
that simple,” she says.<br />
A wet start to summer in<br />
Christchurch has seen the city<br />
council’s online water dial<br />
spend a number of consecutive<br />
days in the<br />
“green zone”,<br />
which is<br />
where the<br />
city council<br />
wants to see<br />
it stay as the<br />
city moves<br />
into the<br />
warmest part<br />
of the year.<br />
Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
Helen<br />
Beaumont<br />
Ms Beaumont says the rain<br />
means people generally don’t<br />
feel the need to turn on their<br />
garden sprinklers or irrigators,<br />
which are<br />
the biggest household water<br />
users.<br />
“Running a garden sprinkler<br />
or irrigator for an hour can<br />
use up to 1500 litres – or 150<br />
buckets – of water. That’s<br />
a huge amount when you<br />
consider we’re targeting an<br />
average daily use of 212 litres<br />
per person this summer. We’re<br />
asking people to use hand-held<br />
hoses to water – during early<br />
morning or late evening –<br />
because you can direct exactly<br />
where the water goes and<br />
avoid wasting it.”<br />

school throughout the year.<br />
Hear me ROAR<br />
Move over Katy Perry, Hub 1 are the<br />
new rising stars.<br />
This term for our integrated topic<br />
we have been looking at learning the<br />
lyrics to a song, adding dance moves<br />
and performing to others. This took<br />
lots of hard work, co-ordination and<br />
perseverance.<br />
We began our journey by looking at<br />
who we are, where we come from and<br />
our culture. From here we looked at<br />
different cultural dances and how we could interrupt them into one dance. With the help of one of<br />
our parents we explored a traditional Samoan dance. This dance had different dance moves for the<br />
boys and girls. This tested our dance skills as we had to think about our own dance moves, what<br />
was happening around us and staying in time to the music. We enjoyed exploring this type of song<br />
and dance.<br />
Next we looked at what our favourite songs were, the good old car song, school disco song, talent<br />
quest song, clean up song, what our older brothers and sisters listened to. We then reached a<br />
decision, for the Gala we would perform Roar. For this we needed to call on our inner lion to help us<br />
look the part. First we needed to learn the dance moves, we already new the lyrics as this had been<br />
our clean up song last term. We worked hard learning the dance moves, practising every day, every<br />
week, singing in the car on the way to school with our Mums and Dads and even practising the song<br />
and dance moves at home before school, after school and in the weekends. The highlight for us was<br />
coming together as a Hub in the afternoons to practice. Working out where we were going to stand,<br />
who would roar and when, which way we would go and how could we all stay in time.<br />
Finally the moment we had been working for all term, the school Gala. The students got on stage<br />
and they blew us away with their performance. They knew all the moves and we could hear<br />
them roar!<br />
Hub 5’s Camp at Woodend<br />
Hub 5 stayed at the Woodend Christian Camp on <strong>December</strong> 3 and 4th.<br />
These include:<br />
• Go-Karting. • Waterslide.<br />
• Archery.<br />
• Air Rifles.<br />
• Climbing Wall. • Team Building.<br />
• Gaga Dodgeball. • Orienteering.<br />
The students had a great time pushing themselves outside their comfort zones. Here are<br />
some of the student reflections:<br />
I found the Climbing Wall fun and kind of challenging. I enjoyed this activity because on my<br />
last turn I finally reached the top and I felt so accomplished. (Eva D)<br />
On the waterslide, I really enjoyed going on the waterslide because it cooled me down on<br />
the hot days at camp. (Sophie M)<br />
One of my favourite activities on camp was the Go Kart activity. I enjoyed that activity<br />
because I have never done Go Karting before and it was just like driving! (Sam)<br />
A & P Show!!!<br />
The Years 2’s have had an amazing day at the A&P<br />
Show!<br />
There was lots of activities for the Year 2’s<br />
to participate in while they were at the show<br />
including:<br />
• Visiting the farmyard to see the farm animals<br />
and patting/feeding them<br />
• Riding a horse<br />
• Participating in the scavenger hunt to collect the<br />
stamps around the show<br />
• Looking at the tractors and getting to sit in them<br />
• Watching the motorbike riders doing tricks<br />
• Joining in the Lolly Scramble<br />
• Watching the woodchopping competition<br />
• Seeing the Earthquake simulator<br />
• Watching the helicopter flying above the show<br />
and taking off<br />
• Getting to touch a bee hive<br />
• Going to and from the show in a bendy bus!<br />
Thank you to all the parent helpers who<br />
volunteered to help out for the day. Without you the<br />
trip would not have been possible.<br />
Oaklands Kapahaka at<br />
Hoon Hay Fiesta<br />
Thursday 15th November was a momentous<br />
day as schools in our Kāhui Akō joined together<br />
with the Christchurch City Council to create the<br />
SouthWest Cluster Cultural Festival which was held<br />
as entertainment at the Hoon Hay Fiesta.<br />
Oaklands Kapahaka students put hours of effort<br />
into this performance. A big change was made<br />
when it was decided to combine the Kakanō and<br />
Kauri groups for the occasion- especially as the<br />
Kakanō students had to learn all the Kauri waiata<br />
and actions, which they did successfully, with<br />
enthusiasm. Some fabulous Year 6-8 students took<br />
time to help the young ones learn, before combined<br />
rehearsals began. After that, there were hour long<br />
rehearsals for the combined group and other<br />
additional rehearsals for the Kakanō students to<br />
pull off our mighty performance. The two Kapahaka<br />
groups combined reaches around <strong>18</strong>0 studentsaround<br />
100 were available to perform on Thursday<br />
and they were truly stunning. Our kids always sing<br />
loudly and proudly and we were blown away by their<br />
mana on the day.<br />
Students from Oaklands, Hoon Hay School,<br />
Halswell, Rowley Ave and Hillmorton all joined<br />
forces to create this special event.<br />
A huge thanks to the amazing parent help for<br />
helping get everyone dressed, fed and sunscreened<br />
and cleaning up the kitchen so well. Also to Detroit<br />
for his special blessing/karakia before we left<br />
for Hoony Hay Park.. Thanks to Mrs Trotter for<br />
organising a great afternoon tea to everyone and<br />
to the teachers that took time out of their Friday<br />
evening to support the group. Some great flexibility<br />
also with managing the organisation while students<br />
and teachers were out of class for rehearsals. He<br />
waka eke noa- we are all in this together.

Support for Kyle Park mega-centre<br />
Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
Hornby<br />
High School<br />
principal<br />
Robin Sutton<br />
explains<br />
why Kyle<br />
Park should<br />
be the<br />
location for a community<br />
mega-centre<br />
IT WAS philosopher Ludwig<br />
Wittgenstein who said: “The<br />
limits of my language mean the<br />
limits of my world.”<br />
According to Wikipedia this<br />
has also been translated as “The<br />
limits of my language stand for<br />
the limits of my world”, and “The<br />
limits of my language are the<br />
limits of my mind. All I know is<br />
what I have words for.”<br />
I reckon that this is true, and<br />
I think it is easy to imagine that<br />
this is big in our thinking on<br />
what we do in schools.<br />
It is also why I support the city<br />
council’s proposal to build the<br />
new Hornby community library,<br />
swimming pool, and service<br />
centre, on the Kyle Park site immediately<br />
cross the road from<br />
our kura [children].<br />
The site sits within five minutes<br />
walk of approximately 1200<br />
students from four schools, and<br />
immediately across the road from<br />
nearly 1000 of those. Hornby<br />
High School itself is projected to<br />
grow to 800 students within five<br />
years and is master planned out<br />
to 1200 students.<br />
Few schools can provide sufficiently<br />
broad learning resources<br />
(books especially) to meet the full<br />
needs of their community, yet<br />
those books and other text based<br />
resources help us to expand our<br />
NEW SITE: Kyle Park will be home to the new Hornby<br />
community mega centre.<br />
language and so expand the<br />
limits of our worlds. Ready access<br />
to top class library facilities will<br />
supplement in-school services.<br />
Access to civic library facilities<br />
so close to the school would support<br />
more ubiquitous learning,<br />
helping to cement that learning<br />
into the fabric of the community.<br />
The synergies that develop when<br />
such facilities are located close to<br />
schools are in evidence elsewhere<br />
in the city, the Riccarton Library<br />
is a great example.<br />
There are several delightful<br />
pieces of jargon that I hear<br />
around government circles to<br />
describe this, and I can’t resist<br />
sharing these with you. The ‘powers<br />
that be’ talk about ‘functional<br />
adjacencies’, or the ‘synergies of<br />
juxtaposition’. I love that jargon.<br />
The facilities that we provide<br />
within Te Pai Rewa and Te Pai<br />
Tūhura were designed to offer<br />
our own ‘functional adjacencies’.<br />
That is, access across a range<br />
of learning resources form text<br />
based resources to technology<br />
and design resources allows each<br />
to support the other. The whole is<br />
more than the sum of the parts.<br />
To then supplement these with<br />
the resources that now typify a<br />
forward looking and forward<br />
thinking civic library service is an<br />
exciting prospect. It offers a real<br />
shot not just at equity, but at real<br />
‘liberation’ for our community.<br />
This is the mantra of our work<br />
with the Manaiakalani Education<br />
Trust, and the Manaiakalani<br />
pedagogy ‘Learn Create Share.’<br />
This is all about ‘liberating’ our<br />
young people, by accelerating their<br />
learning, by making their learning<br />
visible. This is the way to give<br />
rangatahi and whānau options in<br />
life, and if nothing else, education<br />
is about giving people options.<br />
And modern libraries are<br />
not what they used to be. The<br />
council’s own new central library<br />
‘Turanga’ is an outstanding example<br />
of this evolution, with traditional<br />
book resources and other<br />
text, maker spaces, collaborative<br />
spaces, and much, much ore.<br />
I think that modern libraries<br />
of this sort are a great support for<br />
our ‘Learn Create Share’ pedagogy.<br />
You could even argue that<br />
they represent an ideal resource<br />
to support ‘Learn Create Share’.<br />
In addition, Hornby High<br />
School students have no easy<br />
access to aquatic facilities,<br />
meaning that they have little or<br />
no opportunity to access water<br />
safety learning. The new facility<br />
would provide access to a swimming<br />
pool for most of the 11 to<br />
<strong>18</strong>-year-olds in the community.<br />
This is a life changing (and<br />
arguably life saving) investment<br />
in its own right.<br />
You could be very clinical in<br />
your thinking and simply see this<br />
as making sure that the children<br />
of Hornby will emerge from our<br />
kura as fully functional ‘economic<br />
units’, competent workers<br />
ready to fit into the flourishing<br />
Hornby economy.<br />
That would be true. I prefer to<br />
think if this as allowing children<br />
in the Hornby community to find<br />
their true humanity, to see an<br />
expanded world, to lift some of<br />
the self imposed limits that we all<br />
have so that the world can more<br />
truly benefit from their amazing<br />
array of talents.<br />
Our Hornby community is<br />
delightfully diverse, but included<br />
in that diversity are pockets of<br />
deprivation, and large numbers<br />
who have been come to be called<br />
the working poor – whānau who<br />
often have two adults working<br />
solid honest jobs but still unable<br />
to provide for their children simply<br />
because of the exorbitantly<br />
high costs of housing compared<br />
with low minimum wages.<br />
Education for children is a<br />
powerful way to break that cycle,<br />
and supporting formal schooling<br />
with educational connection into<br />
libraries, the world of words, and<br />
the world of ‘Learn Create Share’,<br />
is perhaps the most important<br />
enabler of that.<br />
My final plea to the Halswell-<br />
Hornby-Riccarton Community<br />
Board was – ‘please don’t heap<br />
deprivation on top of deprivation’.<br />
By that I meant, please don’t<br />
deprive this community of this<br />
amazing resource.<br />
By placing it so close to these<br />
four kura, the council would be<br />
making a strategic investment<br />
that leverages off the $30m<br />
investment made by the Ministry<br />
of Education. It would be adding<br />
much more significantly to the<br />
social capital of the community.<br />
This would be smart, clever in<br />
fact.<br />
‘The whole is more than the<br />
sum of the parts’. Our language<br />
limits our world.<br />

Readers have their say<br />
about a city council<br />
proposal to plant trees<br />
along the middle of<br />
Riccarton Rd<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
Mike Choie – For a start, this<br />
council is not thinking the right<br />
way, instead it has wasted a lot<br />
of ratepayer money and has not<br />
beautified the city.<br />
Look at what a shambles the<br />
streets are. Making Riccarton<br />
Rd narrower and planting trees<br />
is a waste of time. Crossing the<br />
road won’t be easy if the trees are<br />
there and they will stop a lot of<br />
the view, sun, traffic and parking<br />
spaces for shops on Riccarton<br />
Rd.<br />
If you want this city to be<br />
called the garden city, trees<br />
should be planted in the park<br />
not in the middle of the road.<br />
The best way for Riccarton Rd is<br />
make it four-lane traffic.<br />
Mary Smith – Just reading<br />
the article in the <strong>Western</strong> <strong>News</strong><br />
[about] trees along Riccarton<br />
Rd. I have never heard of<br />
anything more ridiculous and<br />
unsafe. How do they expect<br />
emergency services to get down<br />
such a narrow, busy road when<br />
required? This council has the<br />
most absurd, extravagant ideas. I<br />
hope people remember this in the<br />
next election. They cannot put<br />
tress along Riccarton Rd it is a<br />
safety issue.<br />
Veronica Weeks – I think<br />
the idea of trees in the middle of<br />
Riccarton Rd is a joke, whoever<br />
thought of this? The road is not<br />
wide enough for a start and the<br />
most important issue is of course<br />
access for emergency vehicles.<br />
How will they get through? How<br />
long will the trees stay up before<br />
someone crashes into them? I<br />
hope the council will reconsider<br />
and we need a clear view when<br />
driving on this road.<br />
Jaime Dowdle – I used<br />
to live there and Riccarton<br />
Rd is a nightmare for all cars,<br />
ambulance and bus. This in<br />
my view is stupid. I can just<br />
view the huge traffic lines.<br />
Plus trees can be dangerous<br />
if they fall on traffic during<br />
earthquakes. Trees are great,<br />
don’t get me wrong, but they<br />
should be off the road. Maybe<br />
create a new park or upgrade<br />
parks with trees.<br />
Readers react to Russley<br />
residents being proved<br />
right about their car parking<br />
concerns of car parking<br />
congestion near the Airport<br />
Business Park<br />
Jeremy Hawker – Here’s<br />
a novel idea, stop allowing<br />
developers to build business<br />
parks with no parking<br />
structures?<br />
Jan Driscoll – The residents<br />
tell the council lots of things, but<br />
the council thinks it knows best<br />
. . . and time proves the residents<br />
right<br />
Zoe McLaren – The<br />
council simply doesn’t have the<br />
ability to offer what the residents<br />
want, on any streets. If they<br />
enforce this on those streets it<br />
will simply push the problem<br />
out to streets just beyond this.<br />
They need to acknowledge that<br />
they allowed a large complex<br />
to be built without sufficient<br />
parking and the residents and the<br />
employees are bearing the brunt<br />
of this issue.<br />
Gloria Rose Wereta-<br />
Osborn – The city council<br />
obviously in hindsight knew it<br />
would collect excellent revenue<br />
for parking infringement<br />
offences. Their mindset is who<br />
would collect the most cash for<br />
their parking idealism ideas.<br />

Aidanfield gardener sees red<br />
over dogs peeing on his lawn<br />
• By Anan Zaki<br />
MURRAY Holmwood takes<br />
pride in his Aidanfield garden.<br />
The retired maintenance<br />
worker spends hours keeping<br />
his lawn weed-free and<br />
plants looking top notch. He<br />
has picked up community<br />
gardening accolades throughout<br />
his life.<br />
But he has a problem – dogs<br />
urinating on his lawn.<br />
Mr Holmwood recently<br />
installed a new lawn on the<br />
berm outside his house of seven<br />
years.<br />
“It’s the council berm but<br />
we look after it. You grow your<br />
grass, you mow it, you fertilise<br />
it.”<br />
But Mr Holmwood’s hard<br />
work is being soiled by dog<br />
walkers.<br />
“I’d like to think I’ve got a<br />
very nice lawn and garden.”<br />
“A certain few people with<br />
their dogs . . . they let their dogs<br />
go on these long extending leads<br />
and then they go and urinate on<br />
the lawn,” he said.<br />
Dogs have also urinated in<br />
his private lawn and garden.<br />
But urinating on his newly-laid<br />
lawn was the “last straw”.<br />
Dog pee forms “dirty big<br />
brown patches” on the lawn, he<br />
said.<br />
“It kills the grass because it’s<br />
a huge amount of urea, which is<br />
what urine is all about.”<br />
Mr Holmwood says the issue<br />
has been ongoing for a number<br />
of months and he contacted<br />
city council animal control, but<br />
without results.<br />
“That is not good enough in<br />
my view,” he said.<br />
The city council says it is not<br />
an offence if dogs urinate in<br />
ENOUGH:<br />
Aidanfield<br />
resident<br />
Murray<br />
Holmwood<br />
wants<br />
an end<br />
to dogs<br />
ruining his<br />
manicured<br />
lawn.<br />
public places.<br />
Mr Holmwood says he doesn’t<br />
hate dogs and has owned dogs<br />
throughout his life.<br />
“I love dogs . . . but these<br />
people [owners] shouldn’t be<br />
doing this.”<br />
He says dogs should be<br />
trained to toilet in parks or the<br />
owners’ garden.<br />

Maiyah gets a star<br />
THE GREATEST gift<br />
Gilberthorpe School pupil<br />
Maiyah Martin could receive<br />
for Christmas is to know people<br />
in need have the necessities to<br />
get by.<br />
With the help of her mum<br />
Donna and younger brother<br />
M.J, Maiyah, 8, has been doing<br />
her bit to fundraise for the City<br />
Mission by selling baking at<br />
food markets.<br />
Her services were recognised<br />
when she was presented with a<br />
star by the City Mission as part<br />
of its Walk of Stars pathway<br />
which runs along Oxford Tce.<br />
All of the proceeds from<br />
her baking have gone towards<br />
buying pamper packs full of<br />
toiletries to donate to the City<br />
Mission.<br />
Maiyah’s mission is<br />
documented on her Facebook<br />
page, Girl With Cake Projects,<br />
which has more than 300<br />
Facebook likes.<br />
The pathway displays the<br />
names of people who have<br />
made significant contributions<br />
to the City Mission’s cause.<br />
GENEROUS: Maiyah Martin<br />

FOCUS ON HEALTH<br />
Dilo Oil – The Remarkable<br />
Skin Rejuvenator<br />
Until Rachel<br />
Hunter’s popular<br />
TV series “TOUR OF<br />
BEAUTY” Dilo Oil was<br />
relatively unknown being<br />
one of the best-kept secrets of<br />
the Pacific Islands. It may however<br />
be the number one natural beauty oil<br />
available as it possesses powerful natural<br />
skin regeneration, anti-aging and healing<br />
properties.<br />
According to ethnobotanist Chris<br />
Kilham, Dilo (pronounced dee-low)<br />
Oil is a powerful skin regenerator as<br />
it is one of the most effective agents<br />
in promoting the regeneration and<br />
formation of new tissue, thereby<br />
accelerating wound healing and the<br />
growth of healthy skin. Dilo Oil is<br />
super-absorbing and nourishing<br />
and can penetrate all three layers<br />
of the skin, offering exceptional<br />
cell hydration and regeneration.<br />
As well as this, Dilo Oil has potent<br />
anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial,<br />
antifungal and antioxidant properties.<br />
Traditionally, Dilo Oil is used to keep the<br />
skin young and youthful and for just about<br />
any skin complaint. Some of the conditions<br />
for which it is considered helpful include<br />
abrasions, cuts and cracks, acne and acne<br />
scars, pimples, blemishes, stretch marks,<br />
wrinkles, blisters, burns (including chemical<br />
and radiation), diabetic sores, rashes, shaving<br />
irritation, dry or scaly skin, eczema, psoriasis,<br />
Revered for centuries by Polynesians & Southeast Asians for its remarkable skin<br />
anti-aging & healing properties, Dilo oil comes from the nut of the sacred Dilo<br />
tree, “the tree of a thousand virtues”. Dilo oil is often called the beauty oil as it<br />
can penetrate all three layers of the skin offering exceptional cell hydration &<br />
regeneration. It has a unique ability to stimulate the growth of healthy skin cells<br />
& this gives it powerful anti-aging & healing properties that can help reduce<br />
lines, blemishes, scars & damage to the skin. It also possesses<br />
anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antifungal & antioxidant properties.<br />
Dilo Oil Supports<br />
• Anti-aging & skin regeneration, helps reduce lines, GREAT<br />
blemishes, scars & stretch marks<br />

shingles, sunburn, rosacea,<br />
athlete’s foot, skin eruptions,<br />

Many beauty and skincare products<br />
on the market today contain unnatural<br />
ingredients that can be toxic and may<br />
even contribute to disease. Generally<br />
the benefits are exaggerated and often<br />
only temporary or camouflage.<br />
Marshall’s Dilo Oil is 100% pure<br />
and certified organic. It has been<br />
cold-pressed from the Dilo nut and<br />
contains absolutely no additives.<br />
Polynesians and Southeast Asians<br />
have revered Dilo Oil for centuries<br />
believing it to be a sacred gift of<br />
nature and the Gods. Dilo Oil<br />
contains a unique blend of fatty<br />
acids that stimulate and supports<br />
the skins natural healing process through<br />
the growth of new healthy skin tissue. It is a<br />
remarkable product we highly recommend to<br />
everyone. A 50ml bottle is $19.90 and 100ml<br />
only $29.90.<br />

production decreases with age resulting in<br />
many signs of aging, such as flaccid skin,<br />

the blood stream by over 90%.<br />
A clinical study on NEOCELL<br />
COLLAGEN has shown skin hydration to<br />
increase an average of 21% and up to 50%,<br />
with 92% of test subjects experiencing<br />
firmer, softer skin. Most people taking<br />

Christmas is so<br />
much more than<br />
tinsel and trees<br />
There seems to be more and<br />
more to do at Christmas these<br />
days, from choosing between<br />
traditional or up-to-theminute<br />
decoration colour<br />
schemes through to worrying<br />
about having a ‘beach-ready<br />
body’ and buying presents,<br />
food and bubbles.<br />
With all the hype and pressure<br />
around the season, it’s easy to<br />
forget that Christmas is in fact<br />
a faith-based celebration of the<br />
birth of Jesus Christ and a time<br />
to come together in worship.<br />
Churches across the city are<br />
recognising Christmas and<br />
what it means for Christians in<br />
a number of ways, often with<br />

raise our voices in the seasonal<br />
songs we remember from our<br />
childhood, as well as concerts,<br />
talks and recitals.<br />
It is a time when churches<br />
and faith-based organisations<br />
remind us of how fortunate<br />
we are and that it is possible<br />
to give gifts of hope that will<br />
make a true difference at this<br />
time of year. Christmas is, after<br />
all, about giving nor receiving.<br />
So why not take a moment<br />
away wrapping the expensive<br />
electronics to reflect on the<br />
true meaning of the season and<br />
call into your nearest church<br />
– all are always welcome,<br />
regardless of their faith, and<br />
especially so at Christmas.<br />
