Claims of agendas over
Hornby mega-facility site
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
HALSWELL-Hornby-Riccarton
Community Board members
have been accused of having an
“agenda” at a fiery meeting over
the Hornby
mega-facility.
City councillor Anne Galloway
questioned if some of her fellow
board members did not want the
facility built at Kyle Park.
“I can’t understand why some
of our elected members continue
to put up roadblocks. It makes
me wonder if there is some
agenda that actually is driving
this,” she said.
“We have heard over and over
again from this community that
they just want us to get on with
it.”
But she withdrew her
comments after a point of order
was called by chairman Mike
Mora and board member Debbie
Mora.
In response to Cr Galloway’s
comments, Mr Mora said it was
an “unfair allegation.”
Ms Mora said she “totally”
concurred with Cr Galloway
but some of the board members
were concerned about the safety
of the community which was
“paramount.” She said there were
“certainly no agendas.”
DECISION MADE: A long discussion at the Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board
meeting has led to part of Kyle Park being reclassified and the Kyle Park management plan
going out for public consultation.
Cr Galloway told Western
News she would not comment on
who the accusation was directed
at out of respect to the board.
At the meeting, board member
Ross McFarlane raised concerns
the proposed changes to the Kyle
Park management plan did not
identify the risks of asbestos at
the park.
“By not alluding to our known
issues and known public health

risks . . . we are not allowing
adequate input on those risks by
the public,” he said.

THERE WAS a good old scrap – a verbal
one – at the Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton
Community Board meeting last week (see
page 1).
There’s nothing wrong with a decent
political spat, even at community board
level. It happens in Parliament all of the time, and around the
city council table.
The community board verbals were over the Hornby megafacility
location and the vote members were to undertake in
terms over reclassification of Kyle Park.
Anne Galloway was the chief protagonist in the debate, but
she had her wings clipped by chairman Mike Mora.
Galloway questioned why roadblocks were being put up by
some board members and suggested there were agendas.
That sparked debate which ended with Galloway withdrawing
the comment after Mora intervened.
Roll on the elections.

More time for Fulton Hogan to explain
• By Anan Zaki
FULTON HOGAN will have
two more weeks to respond to
requests for more information
about their controversial quarry
plans near Templeton and
Weedons.
Environment Canterbury and
Selwyn District Council asked
Fulton Hogan in December
for additional details about its
plans to quarry at a 170ha site
bordered by Curraghs, Dawsons,
Jones and Maddisons Rds.
Fulton Hogan told the two
councils in January that it
would respond to the requests
last Thursday.
But on Wednesday, ECan
said Fulton Hogan asked for
more time to provide the
most up-to-date information,
including a revised draft cleanfill
management plan and a visual
impact assessment.
ECan said Fulton Hogan’s
response is now expected by
March 12.
Fulton Hogan submitted a
resource consent application
to quarry near Templeton and
Weedons in late November.

Brownlee chairman’s bid for council
• By Julia Evans
GERRY Brownlee’s electorate
chairman is standing for the city
council.
Sam MacDonald, who is
also the Fendalton-Waimairi-

chairman, will campaign for the
vacant Waimairi Ward seat in the
October local body elections.
Current Waimairi Ward city

said he wants to bring

“I’m really happy with my

what I’m hearing is that people
really aren’t happy with council
spending,” he said.
“The answer to the council’s
problems cannot continue to be
charging ratepayers more. This
council desperately needs to get
back to basics.”
Mr Brownlee, National MP for
Ilam, said Mr MacDonald had
proved himself to be “successful”
and “accessible” in his community
board role.

Claims of agendas over
Hornby mega-facility
A PLAN to protect monarch
butterflies from marauding rats
will be considered this week.
A report will be presented on
Wednesday proposing whether
trees at Abberley Park and Burnside
Park should be banded with
pest-proof steel bands before the
butterflies start their overwintering
behaviour.
This is when they roost in large
numbers on tree branches.
It will be presented to the city
council’s Social, Community
Development and Housing Committee
This is when they roost in large
numbers on tree branches.
The report said the banding is
likely to prevent significant monarch
mortality at the parks.
It is also a relatively cost effective
measure.
If nothing is done, the butterfly
colonies could be exposed to
“possible decimation by rats”, the
authors say.
If the banding does go ahead,
butterfly mortality at the proposed
sites should be monitored

could cause delays when it goes

But his proposed amendment
was voted down. Deputy
chairwoman Helen Broughton’s

City council staff were alerted
by members of the community to
high monarch butterfly mortality
at some parks in winter 2016 and
2018.
In 2018 the population at Abberley
Park dropped from 700
in late April to 15 in mid-July
with most of the deaths due to
predation.
An investigation showed they
were likely to have been killed
by black rats which are good
climbers, although there is no
scientific evidence to prove this
conclusively.
Monarchs are not considered
to be a threatened or at-risk

report authors say their overwintering
sites are a novelty in
urban parks and their presence

The report also recommends
that winter flowering plant
species could be planted to
help improve the butterflies’
robustness at this time of year.

Anzac service cancelled
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
A LONG-STANDING Anzac
Day service in Upper Riccarton
has been cancelled.
This year would have marked
100 years since the Upper Riccarton
War Memorial Library
was opened to remember the
men from the district who gave
their lives in World War 1. It was
opened on March 19, 1919.
The library’s chairwoman
Aynslie Walter said she cannot
organise the service if it has no
venue to go to.
“It is the only dawn service that
is in Riccarton so it is a very sad
day. It will now be 100 years next
month and it is the first time we
won’t have that (the service).’’
“This year I have no venue so I
just have to make that call,” she
said.
Last year Rannerdale Veterans
Village offered their venue for the
annual Anzac Day service.
But Mrs Walter said there has
been a change of management
at the village and it is quite an
exercise to close off the part of
the building for residents while
they are sleeping so there can be
an earlier service.
The city council closed the
library in October 2017 after
having an engineering assessment
which raised concerns over
structural strength.
FRUSTRATION: Upper Riccarton Library protesters (left to
right) Arthur Woods, Aynslie Walter, Mary Ibbetson, Keith
Walter and Ailsa Smith have protested against the library’s
closure in the past.
PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER
One part of the floor had sunk
into the foundation causing
cracks in the kitchen, toilet and
walls.
“It can all be fixed and brought
up to code but it needs another
person with money to do it and
it is not us, unfortunately,” Mrs
Walter said.
The library is administered
by the Upper Riccarton War
Memorial Library trust and they
own the building on behalf of the
community.
City council community partnerships
and planning manager
Gary Watson said because the
trust cannot afford to demolish
or repair the building, the city
council is now considering the
viability of accepting the gifting
of the building.
Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton
Community Board member
Catherine Chu said the issue is
not having enough funding.
“It is really sad because it is
not just about relocating them,
the building is actually the
memorial. So it is quite special to
them and holds a big meaning,”
she said.
Since March last year,
volunteers have been operating
out of the annex of the building
at the library.
RENEWAL: The public can now have their say on the planned
Harrington Park playground revamp.
THE PUBLIC will get to have

Top school rugby player
pushes for NRL start
• By Gordon Findlater
FORMER BURNSIDE High
first XV player Mikaele Ravalawa
looks set to be the latest young
Christchurch league convert to
make his mark on the NRL.
Ravalawa scored two tries
for the St George Illawarra
Dragons in their 18-10 win over
the Newcastle Knights in a preseason
trial match.
In 2016, the Fijian
winger finished as the UC
Championship’s top try scorer
after crossing the line 14 times
for Burnside.
He was then picked up by the
Canberra Raiders and went on
to be named the club’s under-20
player of the year before moving
to the Dragons this year.
Ravalawa showed his ability
against the Knights, brushing
past five defenders to score from
a desperate play that seemed to
be going nowhere.
Australian media have
now started drawing
comparisons between the
21-year-old and Fijian NRL
legend Noa Nadruku.
He would join several other
former Christchurch school
rugby players who have switched
to league. Last year Shirley

Elia – who moved to Auckland
to begin a contract with
the Warriors when he finished
at St Thomas at the end of 2017
– scored two tries in the Warriors
40-24 win.
“I was really impressed with
how well (Elia’s) developed. He
looks like a guy that has been
part of a professional environment,”
said Canterbury Bulls
coach Andrew Auimatagi, who
is also a teacher and rugby

Elia also visited his former

and spoke to between 30-40

in his footsteps.

st thomas of canterbury college
rowing squads 2018/19
proudly sponsored by westpac halswell
WESTERN NEWS
a developing sport at st thomas of canterbury college
Rowing has been
offered at St Thomas
of Canterbury College
since 2005. Since then
it has seen many boys
from Years 9-13 train
and compete for the
sport with a Year7 and 8
development squad being introduced last year to
give the younger boys at the school a chance to
give it a go.
Currently St Thomas of Canterbury College has a
small squad of 25 boys plus passionate coaches
who are busy training and competing at regattas
up and down the country. This season the Selwyn
River remains their base after moving from Kerrs
Reach following
the Canterbury
Earthquakes.
Rowing is often
viewed as a
prestigious and
elite sport because
of the expenses
it incurs due to expensive equipment and its
travel, however St Thomas’ tries to make it as
accessible as possible to as many as it can, due
to the proven benefits this sport has for young
men. Rowing increases academic achievements,
improves mental and physical health, encourages
commitment and strong work ethic both
individually and in a team, and builds life-long
friendships.
The 2018/2019 season is coming to an end with
our final regattas: Canterbury Junior Regatta at
Lake Hood and Meridian South Island Secondary
School Champs at Lake Ruataniwha. A small
squad of 9 rowers will then represent the school
at Lake Karapiro for the National Secondary
Schools Maadi Cup Regatta, the largest school
sporting event in the Southern Hemisphere.

How to support
healthy weight loss
One of the big reasons we
gain weight especially as we
get older is our metabolism
slows down. Metabolism is
the process by which our
bodies convert what we eat
and drink into energy. That
energy is what allows our
body to operate. With a slower
metabolism we often feel like
eating more leading to more
weight gain and less energy.
If we try to do more exercise
with a slower metabolism
often this has little benefit
as we feel hungrier and eat
more.
GO HEALTHY NZ have recently released
an advanced new weight management
formula “CAPSI-SLIM” that contains
clinically researched ingredients. The first
new ingredient Capsimax ® has been shown
to support energy production, healthy
metabolism as well as Lipolysis the breakdown
of stored fat for energy. The formula
also contains Hydroxycitric Acid or HCA
from Garcinia cambogia. HCA has been
shown to help control the appetite so we feel
like eating less. HCA also helps manage your
stress levels preventing excessive emotional
eating. As well as this it also helps reduce the
amount of fat being stored in the body but
instead helps burn this stored fat for energy.
Green tea extract is another
nutrient in the formula that
can help activate the central
nervous system, which in
turn increases the body’s
metabolic rate, decreases fat
absorption and is a powerful
antioxidant. The next nutrient
is chromium a trace mineral
that is essential to stabilize the
body’s blood sugar levels but
is often lacking in our diet.
Chromium may help reduce
carbohydrate and sugar
cravings while increasing
lean body mass. It has been
shown to stimulate weight
loss in people with obesity. The last nutrient
iodine is lacking in the New Zealand
diet. Sufficient iodine is essential for the
production of thyroid hormones, which
regulate the metabolic energy of the body.
As well as weight gain iodine deficiency can
lead to diseases and reduced life-span.
The Natural Health Advisers at Marshall’s
Health & Natural Therapy are happy to help
you with your weight loss goals. Everyone
is different and we can help you choose the
most suitable supplements for best results.
Come and see us in our new larger
store at 101 Seaview Road, New Brighton
or phone us on 388-5757. We are always
happy to help!
Modern diet leads to illness!
It’s not what you eat but what you absorb
Two Australian Naturopaths Stephen
and Shane noticed at the end of the 20th
century more and more of their patients
were experiencing gut, bowel and digestive
issues that were often leading to more
serious chronic health conditions. Being
Naturopaths they wanted to find what was
going wrong and began extensive research.
What they found was although their clients
were generally eating good food they were
not obtaining all the nutrients required for
good health from this food. Further research
showed one of the main problems was the
digestive system, “it’s not what you eat but
what you absorb.” Another well-known
problem is the soils the crops are grown in
have been depleted of many trace elements
and other nutrients that are known to be
essential for good health and therefore the
crops and food are also depleted. If we do
not obtain all the nutrients we require the
body will compensate to some degree but
a lack of too many nutrients will eventually
lead to health issues.
Based on this they
developed VITAL
GREENS, now called
VITAL ALL-IN-
ONE, a nutrient dense
powdered formula
that provides superior
absorption as well
as comprehensive
nutrition. They
decided on a
powdered formula
that could be made
as a great tasting drink because liquid
nutrition is the easiest way for the body
to absorb nutrients especially if digestive
issues are present. The formula provides
78 vital ingredients that work together in
synergy optimising each other’s absorption
and benefits. Vital Greens contains a
carefully balanced blend of nutritionally
rich greens, vegetables, fruits, minerals,
vitamins, essential fatty acids, plant and
herbal extracts, superfoods, powerful
antioxidants, probiotics, essential amino
acids, digestive enzymes, fibre plus a
uniquely alkalising pea protein. It provides
superior nutrition to a multivitamin and
just about anyone will benefit from it. It is
designed to provide all the nutrients the
body requires for good health. It is also ideal
for those in poor health, those recovering
from injury or sickness, children, athletes,
poor eaters and the elderly. It is also suitable
for people with dietary restrictions and is
gluten, wheat and dairy free. VITAL ALL-
IN-ONE will help remove toxic waste from
the body while supporting all organs. You’ll
often notice more energy and endurance,
better sleep, a more positive mood,
skin problems improving, less sickness,
improved eyesight and overall better more
optimum health.

the maximum benefits from VITAL ALL-
IN-ONE as well as tastings is available

HOME & HEATING
The
importance
of air quality
Choosing the
right heat pump
for your home
The quality of the air we breathe
affects our health and ability to
perform. We breathe in and out
approximately 20,000 litres of
air every day. It is therefore very
important to ensure good air
quality indoors through adequate
ventilation. Ventilation is the
process of air exchange to provide
the necessary air quality that meets
the needs of the occupants for clean,
fresh air. Low oxygen with high
carbon dioxide causes stuffiness
in the room and occupants can
feel drowsy. Invisible harmful
substances like a high content of
dust and tobacco smoke are harmful
and can cause various diseases. Even
bad smells can cause discomfort
or irritate the nervous system. In
summer, it’s easy to open windows
for cross ventilation, however as
winter approaches, we start to shut
up out houses to trap in the heat and
as a result, air quality can decline.
Ventilation includes both the
exchange of air to the outside as
well as circulation of air within
the building. It is one of the
most important factors for maintaining
acceptable indoor air quality in buildings.
Filtered air supply for summer and filtered
and warmed air in winter creates a healthy
environment in which to live and work. In
case of poor or insufficient air intake from
outside, the oxygen content decreases,
humidity and dustiness levels increase. If
exhaust ventilation is not provided or it is
not effective, polluted air, smells, humidity
and harmful substances are not removed.
To ensure the quality of your air, contact
the experts. Smooth-Air Products can
calculate the required air exchange for
your building requirement.
Smooth-Air offers a wide range
of ventilation equipment, from
air vents to ducting for fans,
for both the commercial and
domestic markets. They have
an extensive range of fans and
ventilation components instore
but they can also provide
innovative solutions tailored to
differing requirements.
You can contact Smooth-Air on
0800 SMOOTH (0800 766684).
Are you struggling with the heat of
Summer or wanting to get organised for
Winter? With the ever changing weather
patterns, heat pumps have the flexibility
of being able to heat and cool which is an
advantage no other appliance can offer. This
represents great value for your investment
as you can use it all year round. The team
at Enviro Master Ltd can help keep you
cool this Summer either at home or work.
Enviro Master supplies, installs and services
all the leading brands including Panasonic,
Fujitsu, Mitsubishi and Daikin. This means
our team can show you which system and
brand will best suit your needs.
With new regulations coming in for
Landlords to provide heating in rentals,
now is a great time to beat the 1st of
July deadline. Inadequate heating and
ventilation can lead to mould growth and
dampness in your property, leading to
costlier maintenance and an unhealthy
living environment. Providing a fixed
heater with a higher heat output and lower
running costs, like a heat pump, will enable
your tenants to heat the area effectively.
It will also discourage them from using
unflued gas heaters which can make a
house damp and mouldy.
It is important to remember, when
selecting an installer, the manufacturer’s
warranty does not cover the installation
and consumers could be responsible for
any repair or damage caused to the system
due to poor installation. Enviro Master’s
five-star installation guarantee ensures
correct installation, and a demonstration
so customers have an understanding on
how it will best meet their needs.

As they say there is no substitute for quality
and this home has that in spades.
North facing, sheltered, and nestled amongst
mature trees and gardens this superbly built
spacious light and airy home of about 337m2
enjoys lovely sea and rural views and is also
very private.
Comprising 5/6 very generous bedrooms,
3 bathrooms including an en suite, and 2/3
living areas. The kitchen and lounge are
enormous, the hallways wide and most of the
rooms open on to covered verandah giving
shelter in Winter and shade in Summer. The
main living area is octagonal in shape and is
huge with a large wood-burner and also opens
onto the verandah and lawn area giving great
indoor outdoor flow.
The farm house style kitchen features plenty
of storage, a Rayburn stove connected to a
wetback and the entire house is centrally
heated with a diesel burner supplying hot
water radiators. Fully insulated throughout
and with double glazed cedar joinery you can
see and feel no expense has been spared on
this build.
The land (1.23 hectares approx. Title pending)
is a mixture of lawns, native plantings a
paddock and 2 very well established orchards.
There are 4 outdoor sheds, a good sized 3 bay
barn/garage, lockable with concrete floor,
3 phase power and toilet and good water
supplies with a spring and deep water bore.
This property gives many options due to its
size, i.e. extended family or Airbnb etc. etc.
and only a 12 minute drive to the Diamond
Harbour ferry giving access to Lyttelton and
the city.
This is the perfect opportunity to have the
lifestyle without having too much to look
after, a chance to be semi self-sufficient and all
this only 45 minutes approx. drive from the
city.
Only approx. 10 years old, to build this now
to this quality would cost well in excess of
the asking price so this is great buying in a
beautiful location.

THE PAPANUI-Innes
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
planned 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

Ms Jones 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 annual
plans are a l about lo bying the
