Plan to
control
quarry
dust with
water
criticised
• By Anan Zaki
WATER CANNONS and
carts could be used to control
dust emissions at Fulton
Hogan’s proposed quarry near
Templeton.
Details on dust and air
quality featured in a 54-page
document presented to
Environment Canterbury and
the Selwyn District Council last
week.
The information was provided
after the regional and district
councils requested more details
about Fulton Hogan’s plans to
quarry at a 170ha site bordered
by Curraghs, Dawsons, Jones
and Maddisons Rds.
Quarry opponent Simon
Moore said using water cannons
and carts would be a waste of
water.
Mr Moore is still against
the idea of a quarry near
Templeton.
“They are going to require a
huge amount of water to do that
[mitigate dust],” he said.

THERE HAS been a lot of amazing
gestures and things done by the
community as a result of the terror tragedy.
So many, most can’t be given the public
credit they deserve.
But on page 1 today, we do showcase a great effort at St
Margaret’s College, led by student Sujean In.
She started the Paper Chain of Love and it has been added
to by students from around New Zealand and Australia – each
link with a message of support.
“It came from the idea that all of us students are connected
and that love is stronger than hate. Everyone in Christchurch
is interlinked and we share a love for each other in spite of the
ugliness of Friday,” she says.
How right she is.

Venue offered for Anzac Day service
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
RANNERDALE Veterans
Village has offered to hold an
Anzac Day ceremony in Upper
Riccarton due to the closure of a
historic library in the suburb.
The long-standing Anzac Day
service organised by the Upper
Riccarton Memorial Library
committee will not go ahead.
Rannerdale Veterans Village
general manager Charmaine
Diver told Western News it was
happy for the service to be held
at its spaces and has offered it to
the committee.
Last year the library service
was held at Rannerdale because
the library was closed in October
2017 by the city council.
Memorial library chairwoman
Aynslie Walter previously told
Western News it wouldn’t be
organising a separate event at
Rannerdale because it was quite
an exercise to close off part of
the building so there can be a
dawn service.
But Ms Diver said it is not an
exercise to close off part of Rannerdale.
“We just open up the venue so
we are not here to facilitate,” she
said.
But Mrs Walter said it has now
been decided representatives
will go to the Anzac service at
Rannerdale.
FRUSTRATION: Arthur Woods, Aynslie Walter, Mary Ibbetson, Keith Walter and Ailsa Smith
have previously protested against the closure Upper Riccarton Memorial Library.
PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER
“It is far too late for me to
arrange another service . . . we
have already told people we are
not doing a service this year,”
she said.
The library was closed after
an engineering assessment
raised concerns over structural
strength. Members of the Upper
Riccarton Memorial Library
Committee have previously opposed
the closure of the library.
Opened on March 19, 1919,
the library was the first of seven
war memorials to be built in
New Zealand. This year would
have marked 100 years since the
library was opened to remember
the men from the area who gave
their lives in World War 1.
Since March last year,
volunteers have been operating
out of the annex of the building
at the library.

Fashion Forecast Show
a first at The Hub
The Hub Hornby is proud to put on their very first Fashion
Forecast show on 11 April from 7pm to 8pm. This hourlong,
free event will showcase the latest autumn and
winter styles from a wide variety of fashion retailers within
the centre.
The growing variety of fashion and accessory
stores at The Hub now means customers
can shop for the latest fashions, including
shoes and accessories at the centre
with plenty to choose from and,
importantly, for all body types.
Rather than using professional
models, participating retailers are
organising their own models, using
staff, friends, and family. Centre
Manager, Jason Marsden, says
“We wanted to deliver an authentic
showcase of the upcoming new
season’s fashion. Rather than seeing
traditional models take to the runway and
people thinking that they may not be able
to wear that, we want to showcase real people
wearing real clothing.”
“This is going to be all about real fashion on real people.
We want our customers to think: ‘Yes I could wear that’.
This will also add a lot of fun to the event and there may
even be one or two surprise looks”.
Participating fashion stores include Caroline Eve, Farmers,
Max, K&K, Bras’n Things, Pagani, Jeanswest, Moda Bella,
Ziera Shoes plus others.
Proud to be… fashion experts on hand
During the lead up to the show, The Hub recently ran
an initiative called: ‘Proud to Be….’. This saw people
nominated and six winners each receiving a full makeover
to reflect their own personal style. “The aim
is to celebrate the diversity, stories,
and people of the greater Hornby
community. These recipients
will be familiar faces in the
community and it will be great
to introduce them and their
new looks throughout the
show, as each will take to
the runway to celebrate their
nomination,” says Marsden.
Moda Bella
Each of the ‘Proud to Be…’
winners are in the process
of experiencing a makeover
with The Hub’s resident style
expert, Vick McMillian, creating a
look that suits the individual and their
personality.
Customers who are unsure or would like some additional
help can utilise the services of The Hub’s very own fashion
stylist Vicki McMillan. Vicki styles the three mannequins
located outside Michael Hill, drawing from multiple
retailers thus creating unique looks not seen in any single
store.
Come along to the Hub Hornby for the Fashion Forecast
show on 11 April from 7pm to 8pm – See you there!

Bishopdale mall businesses fed up
Stalled upgrade,
low foot traffic
taking a toll
• By Jake Kenny
BISHOPDALE Village Mall
retailers say they are losing
business as they wait for a
long-promised mall upgrade.
The mall is more than
50-years-old and showing its
age with tired buildings and
several empty shops – and some
business owners are fed up.
The Fendalton-Waimairi-
Harewood Community Board
pledged $10,000 last December
to help redevelop the area
through ‘quick win’ cosmetic
improvements.
However, none of the $10,000
has been spent yet.
Work has yet to start and some
local business owners say the
improvements will do little to
solve the problem of falling foot
traffic.
Bishopdale Business
Association member Tony
Ralfe said the closure of the
Westpac branch and the move
of Mitre 10 to a nearby location
three years ago, along with New
World’s move to the far side
of the mall, meant more was

needed to help the remaining
retailers.
“Ten thousand dollars won’t
even get the . . . toilets fixed,” said
Mr Ralfe.
Development Christchurch
Ltd is in charge of the
redevelopment, working
alongside the business
association and community
board.
A DCL spokesperson said
work to date had included
meetings with businesses and
landowners, shopper surveys,
and discussions with key
community groups.
DCL has also conducted
reviews of traffic, urban design,
land use, parking, pedestrian
access and lighting.
It confirmed that no further
funding had been set aside for
the regeneration work.
“(That) would need to be done
through council’s Annual Plan
process,” they said.
Community board member
Aaron Campbell said Bishopdale
Village Mall was a lot further
down the list in terms of
development priority.
“The issue now is that DCL do
not have budget.”
A quick walk around the mall
reveals several empty lots and
little foot traffic.
Shopper Nellie Meares
said the mall had become
“an afterthought”, especially
compared to the upgraded
Northlands Mall 2km away.
A key anchor tenant, Mitre 10,
moved out three years ago.
It was reported last year that
businessman Doug Spence
had bought the store’s former
building, which remains vacant
nearly a year on.
Mr Spence could not be
reached for comment on his
plans for the building.

QE II toilet costs
could be slashed
• By Julia Evans
A TOILET block and changing
facility at QE II Park will not cost
ratepayers $1 million.
Instead, city council staff are
investigating ways to cut back
the cost of the planned 200 sq m
building after a request from the
hearings panel.
Burwood Ward city councillor
and hearings panel chairman
Glenn Livingstone said he was
pleased with the result.
“The whole hearings panel
was very concerned over the
proposed $1 million cost for the
changing sheds and toilets and
was very clear over that,” he said.
Cr Livingstone previously
said a house could be built for
$350,000 so he couldn’t understand
why a toilet block would
cost almost triple that.
However, city council head
of recreation, sports and events
Nigel Cox said the $1 million
budgeted for the toilet and
changing room block had been
an estimate.
The building would have four
changing rooms with showers and
toilets, a referees’ changing room,
storage, public toilets, provision of
services and landscaping including
paving, vegetation, seating,
a drinking fountain and cycle
stands.

“The issue is when trucks

as they go onto the road,
they’re leaving deposits of

Easter egg
hunt to aid
Methodist
Mission
CHOCOHOLICS CAN indulge
over Easter and know it’s all for a
good cause.
The Christchurch Methodist
Mission is organising the
inaugural My Easter Egg Hunt
fundraising campaign. Anyone
can host a hunt at a venue of
their choice. The mission is
encouraging individuals, churches
and businesses to take part.
Once registered online,
participants can buy a batch of
eggs and hide them around their
backyard, work place or local park.
Participants will be encouraged
to ask people attending their
hunt to make a donation to the
mission. Easter egg hunts can be
registered online at http://bit.ly/
myeasteregghunt2019. The hunts
can be run anytime from April
13-28.
Two Canterbury businesses
are backing the hunt. Trade Aid
is providing the chocolate, and
chocolatiers She Universe will
transform them into delicious
eggs.
The money raised will help
the mission provide food and
clothing, housing, financial
support for power bills and school
costs, budgeting advice and
support for families impacted by
family violence.
To make it even sweeter, the
chocolate is entirely fair trade and
organic.
“We’d love to see lots of people
taking part, knowing this is going
to help families who struggle,
particularly as we come into
winter,” Christchurch Methodist
Mission executive director Jill
Hawkey said.
“Make it a family get-together
or a work do and enjoy yourselves.
Everyone loves an Easter egg
hunt and no one can resist good
chocolate. All calories are negated
because it’s for a good cause.”

How do we regain
what we lost?
Justice
of the
peace and
Fendalton-
Waimairi-
Harewood
Community
Board
member
Shirish
Paranjape
reflects on the terror attack
During my overseas travels,
I would often say (boast?) that
New Zealand is one of the
most peaceful countries on
earth, police normally do not
carry arms and politicians and
other leaders are extremely
approachable.
They often drive their own cars
and travel economy class like all
New Zealanders do.
Only our prime minister has a
security person when in public.
My overseas friends would
confirm that they had heard
same/similar opinions about
New Zealand. Those who had
visited would recount good
memories of their visit.
One day, one person changed
it all.
The question now is, “how do
we regain what we lost?”
I feel we should not take any
knee-jerk reactions due to this
incident.
Even if changes are necessary,
for example, with the gun
control laws, they should be wellconsidered/well-discussed
and
debated decisions, rather than
“heat of the moment knee-jerk
reactions”.
There is no need to swing from
one end to the other, although
inevitably, a few things may need
to change.
I have been fortunate enough
to have travelled to many
countries all over the world.
Friends, family members and
colleagues often I ask me if I feel
safe in a particular country or
city, and how do I judge it.
My answer always is the less
police/security persons I see, the
safer I feel at any place and the
presence of families and children
in public area, particularly after
sunset, makes me feel safer at any
place.
Too much police/security
presence can be unnerving, as we
found out this week.
The presence of a police
helicopter circling over us had,
for many residents, exactly the
opposite effect than the desired.
The stated official purpose
was to provide assurance to the
community, but it’s presence had
many residents worried.
I recall a story from several
years back.
For a week, I had hosted guests
from the Middle East.
On the last day of the visit, they
said: “Shirish, you have done so
much for us, and shown us many
places here, but we have not seen
one thing at Christchurch.”
“What is that?,” I asked.
“In the whole week here, we
haven’t seen even one officer of
New Zealand Police,” was their
reply, being so used to police
presence back in their country.
I took them to Christchurch
Central Police Station, where
they not only saw an officer,
but the lovely officer smilingly
obliged and allowed the visitors
to take photos with him and his
police car.
This is the Christchurch, this
is the New Zealand we like, and
others envy.
Let us do everything we can,
individually and collectively, to
regain it.
I end this article with a poem
which my daughter Neha wrote
and sent from London, where
she is undergoing her two-year
overseas experience.
To Christchurch and its people,
Too many innocent lives lost
Too many prayers left unanswered
Too many people hurt
Too many dreams shattered
Too much hate in the world
Just too much anger
How did it come to this?
Is all of the world now in danger?
The people of Christchurch, we
like our red and black
But not the red that comes with
blood stains
Not the black that accompanies a
terror attack
Christchurch will be back up
though,
Once again rising from the ashes
Once again, our people will find
that smile
After we’ve wiped tears off each
other’s eyelashes
Christchurch is my home, as it is
yours
I hope you all feel safe again,
albeit with horrific scars
I wish for this paradise to be
beautiful again
I hope you see your prayers
weren’t in vain
DECISION MADE: Last year a narrow vote at the Halswell-
Hornby-Riccarton Community Board determined Kyle Park
would be the location for the Hornby Library, Customer Services
and South West Leisure Centre.
A reader responds to the
Western News article on
freedom camping issues at
Burnside Park
Philippa Lane – As I live
in the area, I often return home
past Burnside Park around 9pm.
There are often two to three
small vans parked on the Avonhead
Rd frontage. They obviously
have no toilet facilities and
there are none in the vicinity, so
it is only too obvious that they
will be using the park as a toilet.
We have laws to stop this activity,
so why don’t we use them?
Any costs would be covered
by the fines imposed. In some
places, the police are monitoring
freedom campers as they make
their normal rounds. We also
need to have a system whereby
any unpaid fines are transmitted
immediately to the airport, so
that they may be stopped from
leaving the country until all
fines are paid.
A reader responds to the
Western News article on
Bottle-O Halswell changing
its contract from purchasing
a store at The Oaks
Village Halswell complex
to leasing it
Gary Knight – In spite of
reversing their decision to purchase
a shop at Oaks village in
favour of a leasing arrangement
the siting of a liquor outlet by
Bottle-O Halswell would be a
retrograde step. Three liquor
outlets in Halswell and two in
close proximity in Hoon Hay
(inclusive of a Bottle-O) would
deem the proposed outlet in
Ensign St totally unnecessary
and demeaning for many
Halswell residents from a social
perspective. When considering
the inclusion of a liquor outlet in
any suburb a sense of rationale
must prevail to ensure that its
presence is not one of over placement
and does not encroach on
viewpoints of many of its local
residents.
A reader responds to
where the Hornby
mega-facility should be
located
Mary Leighton – It would
be great if some of our elected
members stop playing monopoly
with the proposed Hornby
Library and South West Leisure
Centre and just get it built in
Hornby. The project has Hornby
in its name and should be built
in Hornby, the residents have
spoken – we did not want it in
Denton and put it in Kyle.
Most of the elected members
appear to be able to accept that
but it is disappointing we still
have some board members in
the likes of Helen Broughton
and Debbie Mora who by your
article appear hell-bent on
delaying the project or even
worse moving it out of Hornby.
The experts all agree Kyle
Park can be built on with no
risk to the public/project but
some elected members think
they know better than the
experts. Just get on and build
the complex on Kyle Park for
Hornby’s sake.

Enjoy our stunning scenery,
whatever the weather
Canterbury’s weather has been
notoriously fickle this summer and heading
into autumn, but there’s doubtless plenty of
great weather left. That mean there’s still

Bargain books &
gifts – at work,
in-store or online
Many of the staff rooms and coffee
rooms across Christchurch have
a regular delivery of a box of
treasures. Books and Gifts Direct
supply schools, hospitals, offices
and daycare centres throughout
the Garden City with a display
stand that contains a trove of
discounted books, gifts and
homeware for all ages. Because
they buy direct from the publisher
and the manufacturer, they
pass on these low prices to their
customers. It is an ideal way to
buy affordable presents from the
comfort of your workplace.
However, what many people
don’t know is that Books and
Gifts Direct also has a bricks
and mortar outlet store at 247
Annex Road in Middleton. The
bright façade is easy to spot and
there’s plenty of parking. Best of all,
everything is up to 70% off. With the
school Easter holidays coming up,
parents, grandparents and whanau
are looking for affordable ways to
entertain little ones without resorting
to electronic devices. Books and Gifts
Direct are here to help. They have
colouring books, crayon sets, dot-todot
books and sticker activity books
for the artistic youngsters; plus a huge
range of story books by authors such
as Julia Donaldson. Whether your
little ones are interested in dragons or
mermaids, in unicorns or bugs, you
will find something they will love to
read again and again.
If you want to keep your children
busy and active, there are cookbooks
for little chefs and sets of blocks to
teach colours, letters and numbers.
Older children are catered for too,
with craft sets and advanced drawing
and design books. Even though
there’s no school, many of Books and
Gift Direct’s gift sets help children
keep learning, with books stuffed
full of the kinds of amazing facts that
children love.
It’s not only about the children,
though. They stock discounted
books, tech and car gadgets, and
homeware for everyone – unusual
and quirky items that not only make
life easier but are great gift ideas too.
Call in to browse – they are
open Monday to Saturday, 9am
to 4pm, or visit booksgiftsdirect.

how to arrange a regular staffroom
delivery for your workplace.
