The Star Thursday April 4 2019 10 NEWS Megan’s packing her bags for Disneyland Paris • By Julia Evans MEASLES, A cancer scare and terror attack was enough to set cancer sufferer Megan Hore into a spiral. But in two days she is headed to Disneyland Paris. “I’m so excited,” Megan said. The 19-year-old daughter of well-known blind organist Richard Hore was declared cancer-free in October after battling bone cancer for more than a year. The Star has been following Megan’s progress and helped her fundraising efforts to get to Disneyland Paris, which is part of her bucket list to go to all the Disney parks around the world. However, her mother Marilyn Hore said the past few weeks had been a “really tough time” for Megan and the family. “With measles in the community, Meg became housebound because she’s not fully immunised. We had to pull her from uni and she still can’t go.” It is Megan’s first year at university studying towards a Bachelor of Arts in English and Classics, after she spent more than 200 days in hospital last year. She was very excited to start, Mrs Hore said and though her lecturers are sending her notes, “it’s not the same.” TOUGH TIME: 19-year-old cancer sufferer Megan Hore is counting down the days until she goes to Disneyland Paris. It was then that she got a horrible pain in her leg and had to go back to hospital to get an MRI scan to make sure her bone cancer had not returned. “They found it was the way her leg had been put back together during the surgery and there is nothing they can do. We’re having to do a lot of physio,” Mrs Hore said. Then the terror attack on March 15 “sent her into a spiral,” Mrs Hore said. “She’s spent a couple of nights in tears, but I’ve told her that’s a news online at www.star.kiwi normal reaction,” she said. But each day, Megan has been counting down the days until the family heads to Disneyland. “I’m mostly looking forward to the smiles when we’re in Europe. I just want to see her smile again,” Mrs Hore said. “Thank you to the people of Canterbury for the amazing support. Without it we wouldn’t be going so soon.” Megan’s next appointment to check for cancer cells is in May. If any are found, her diagnosis will become terminal. Quarry opponents: ‘We are ready’ • By Anan Zaki THE PUBLIC will be notified about Fulton Hogan’s contentious quarry plan near Weedons on Saturday. Environment Canterbury said it has confirmed the date for public notification and the submission period will be open until June 6. In the meantime, quarry opponents are ready for battle. Weedons anti-quarry campaigner Simon Moore said residents are likely to meet over the next few weeks before submitting. “We are ready. We’re ready to go, we’ve been ready for months,” Mr Moore said. “When I say that, of course you have to have a look and see what the questions were and responses were.” Fulton Hogan submitted a resource consent application to quarry at a 170ha site bordered by Curraghs, Dawsons, Jones and Maddisons Rd in late November last year. Quarry opponents have been in regular communication in order to prepare for submissions. “We’re constantly talking with Simon Moore a group of people who are all very opposed. It’s constant, the traffic between these people is absolutely constant that are involved with all the stuff that’s coming up,” Mr Moore said. “As soon as it’s notified we will get in there boots and all.” Last month, Fulton Hogan responded to requests for more information from the district council and ECan about its quarry plans. Fulton Hogan said it would use water canons to mitigate dust levels at the quarry. It also addressed questions about traffic to and from the proposed quarry. Based on modelling, it said most of the traffic would be east-bound to and from Christchurch. The traffic was likely to be travelling on stage two of the $196 million Southern Motorway, due to finish early next year. •HAVE YOUR SAY: Do you support or oppose plans for the proposed Fulton Hogan quarry near Weedons?
